Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
misskittifantastic This is was the scariest movie I ever saw as a child and it's memory has haunted me for years. I would not recommend letting young children watch this film as I watched it when I was nine when I watched it and I could not look in the corner of my bedroom for about three years. I have always wondered what the movie was called and when finding it it still raised the hairs on the back of my neck and I am in my thirties . I must say I was surprised it was a Walt Disney film....... I don't know if I could watch it again even now. For it's time it was made it the special effects were obviously very effective as I have never forgotten it. I am not saying the movie is bad just that it is frightening.
chaplin889@hotmail.com This movie is one that really haunts the recesses of my childhood. The story of Inez Dumaine and her quest to finally rest in peace. I loved these classic Disney movies, and I first saw this on the old Disney Sunday Night Movie show. I had a major crush on Olivia Barash, who played Inez, and also thought Kathy Kurtzman who played Blossom Culp was a cutie. I have this version, plus on a tape called ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT SCARY they showed a small highlight of THE GHOST BELONGED TO ME, and I have the books GHOST BELONGED TO ME and THE MANY GHOSTS OF BLOSSOM CULP. This film should be on every video shelf. Also I wish I knew what happened to the cast.
paintbrush_2003 LOVED this movie. Couldn't get enough of it for a time, and the books that surrounded it [like The Dreadful Future of Blossom Culp or something like that by Richard Peck]. It's way too scary for little kids, but kids over about the age of 8 or 9 may get a big kick out of it. Haven't seen it for years, though, so it might be a little too dated for the average 2003 kid to enjoy.
Marta Excellent film, which I recommend for everyone in the family.Alexander Armsworth and his family move to an authentic antebellum plantation, once owned by a river pirate during the civil war. Blossom, a schoolmate of Alexander's who has a crush on him, lives nearby. Alexander sees a suspicious light in the garage, and upon investigation finds a ghost and her ghostly dog. She tells him her name, Inez, and asks for his help in finding the "child of glass" so that she can go to her eternal rest.During a seance with Blossom, Alexander finds out that the river captain killed the little girl when she wouldn't tell him where the family treasure was, and cursed her to wander the plantation till doomsday. Alexander and Blossom try to solve the riddle; along the way there's an elegant party given by Alexander's mother, which Inez's ghost dog wrecks chasing the family cat; there's a drunken caretaker that is fired for negligence and decides to take out his anger on Alexander; and a fire that levels the garage and everyone thinks Alexander was inside.Alexander falls down an abandoned well, and when Blossom rescues him, she finds the "child of glass". Together, they take it to Inez's crypt in a dark cemetery, where girl and doll are finally reunited. Inez can finally rest, but as a thank you she leaves them with a fantastic gift.This film is a must for everyone. It's got ghosts, mystery, spooky cemeteries and suspense. Steve Shaw, who plays Alexander, is very, very good, and Katy Kurtz plays Blossom with panache. My kids loved this movie, as does everyone who watches it. It's hard to find, though, since it's not for sale anymore.It was adapted from the book "The Ghost Belonged to Me".
