Christopher Landon's latest horror-comedy isn't quite up to Freaky or Happy Death Day levels, but We Have a Ghost is still a spectral charmer. awalrusdarkly's review:
Few genre filmmakers seem to be having as much fun these days as Christopher Landon, a horror-comedy maestro who’s spent the last six years delivering instant classics likewhile mastering the balance between high-concept fun and emotional impact. That balancing act has won him plenty of fans while allowing him to keep playing in different horror sandboxes, stretching his abilities to see how far his style and narrative dexterity can really go.
When Frank and Kevin’s older brother Fulton realize that smartphone footage of Ernest exists, they do their best to turn their haunted house into a YouTube empire. But Kevin’s not interested in what Ernest can do for his family. He’s much more interested in what he can do for Ernest and, with the help of his new neighbor Joy , sets out to get to the bottom of his friendly ghost’s identity, even as the world makes Ernest into a social media celebrity.
Landon leaps right into this conceit with the confidence of a seasoned veteran, and latches onto a formula that works thanks to the partnership between Kevin and Ernest.is at its best when it hinges on the bond between a lost boy and his equally lost undead friend, and Landon’s ability to brush in color around Kevin’s family life only enhances that connection.
