How Much Have You Seen? What flavor of seasoned popcorn would you like if the theater offered it? Im gleichen Jahr war sie in der Fernsehproduktion Die Staatsaffäre [39] als deutsche Bundeskanzlerin zu sehen.Nothing about this movie is a "horror film". I understand this movie was "a supernatural horror film" but for me this movie just didn't cut it.
This movie does not deserve to be in the horror genre. This movie is something you put on just to fall asleep around 3 am. I do not recommend.
Boring, bland, average, and just overall lacked any cinematic standards. After about five minutes into the movie I thought, "Oh no, not another child that sees ghosts.
Now, to be fair, it didn't go into unchartered territory. In fact, the movie revisited a well established premise. This leads to a split between he and his wife, Kristen Sarah Wayne Callies , as she blames him for their son's abduction.
Shortly before Charlie's Jack Fulton abduction he had strange visions and even heard something tell him to "Pay the Ghost". All of that plays a major role in Mike's subsequent search for his son as it takes him to stranger and stranger locations.
I would call the movie eerie and ominous even but not quite scary. There is a particular frustration when a terrible thing happens to you in a desolate location because no one is around to help you.
There is another, more intensified frustration when a terrible thing happens to you in New York City and there are literally thousands of people around you.
That's precisely what Mike was dealing with. Pay the Ghost was for my money, a very decent not trying to be a horror but more suspenseful drama unfolding.
Nicholas Cage who son is abducted by three century vengeful ghost who takes little children on Halloween.
The flow of the story was very smooth with not a lot empty clues to leave you wondering what would happen next. I'm not Cage fan, but I do like a good Sunday afternoon film that keeps your attention span for more than an hour, and this road to recovery for his career film did just that.
There were even a few parts that took me by surprise in a good scary way and kept me wanting to know how this story would end.
That's how you know got my attention. Overall it was good to see Cage is something that just made sense. The last film I saw him in was Left Behind, and that title is exactly where he should've left that script.
If you just like a decent story with a few good jumps, give this one a watch, You can pay the ghost attention.
It's pretty generic "lost my son! The acting was well done. It wasn't super annoying if you watched the Last Witch Hunter, it's that sort of quality of writing and acting but the CGI was worse in pay the ghost Very predictable dialogue and storyline, but I am a fan of horror movies that aren't super gory or too much thriller or jump scares out of nowhere so this was PERFECT for me!
I recommend entirely! I like Nic Cage movies and this is another one of his better films. I just like it when he's a dad and not a treasure hunter.
I think he's getting to that age that he can't play the dad of young children anymore. He looks over 50! Coventry 10 December I strongly suspect that, around or so, Nicolas Cage participated in a secret scientific experiment to have himself cloned, and that since then there are at least three of four Nicks walking around in Hollywood!
How else would you explain the large number of Nick Cage vehicles that is getting released each year?
I seems that, every time I blink my eyes, two or three titles are added to Cage's filmography here on IMDb. I don't mind, though, and it's even quite clever because I and surely many others with me will pretty much watch everything that Nicolas Cage stars in, regardless of the quality.
Take "Pay the Ghost", for instance. I probably never would have bothered to continue watching if it weren't for Cage's name prominently decorating the opening credits, as it looks like just another derivative and predictable ghost story with a weak plot and an overload of fake scares.
Make no mistake, "Pay the Ghost" IS a forgettable and weak supernatural horror entry, but hey, maybe I was in an exceptionally good mood because I nevertheless enjoyed it.
The script is obviously trying to cash in on "Insidious", "Sinister" and every other recently released thrillers featuring ghost children, and Cage strictly acts on automatic pilot, but I was still interested in the plot of his missing son.
Charlie mysteriously vanished during last year's Halloween parade and, nearly one year later, his father discovers that several children go missing every year on All Hallows Eve without ever getting found.
Mike reunites with his estranged wife and together they stumble upon a harrowing tragedy that occurred nearly three centuries ago.
Certain scenes are quite brutal, like the fade of the spiritual medium, and the happy ending doesn't feel too forced.
But, like I said, I was in a good mood and Cage himself probably already doesn't remember "Pay the Ghost" anymore.
He's a great actor and I can't wait for him to get back to the old Nick but, this movie actually wasn't that bad.. Kept my attention through the entire movie..
That, "Man, what is going to happened next" feeling.. Of course it's not his finest work but, it's definitely not his worse.
I liked the story, the plot was good and so was the acting. I think it's a good watch. I really do HOPE he comes back strong after this film.
Again, I think it's worth it guys. FlashCallahan 25 September One year after Mike Lawford's young son disappeared during a Halloween carnival, he begins to experience strange, unsettling visions, and terrifying messages he can't explain.
Together with his estranged wife, he will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery and find their son, but in doing so, he unearths a legend that refuses to remain buried in the past You know that an actor is in trouble when every DVD cover featuring them graces the words 'Academy Award Winner' before their name, and their face is obviously airbrushed on to a separate body, because they didn't have the time to pose.
What is particularly funny about this cover is that it's the exact same pose Cage had for last years 'Classic' left behind.
Oh, and they always look a lot skinnier than they actually are. Who can remember the days where Seagal had those hilarious photo-shopped pictures.
I just used to buy the DVD for the cover. So Cage decides to go down the horror route, and whilst the idea is sound, a kind of Jacobs Ladder meets a very dodgy version of Don't Look Now, the makers of the film just do not know how to generate a scare, or even an air of tension.
So we begin with the boy having visions of a vulture circling him, and then disappearing whilst Cage is buying him Ice-cream in a comedy cowboy outfit.
And then it's almost a year later, where Cage has turned into the desperate father looking for answers.
This is where the film falls apart, because they don't use the full potential of Cage and his wonderful maniacal acting arc. Nope, they have him spend the rest of the film looking concerned and perplexed while he meets a whole bunch of weirdos who talk to him in riddles and send home on wild goose chases.
He begins to see his son here, there, and everywhere, and as we all know in films like this, once he gets to where his son should be its someone who looks just slightly different.
It's your typical cookie cutter, almost family friendly horror, which features a strange scene involving school kids in masks and a teacher, who is claiming that she knows nothing, and then proceeds to explain the whole myth of the title there is a reason why his son went missing, and it's a little bland.
So all in all, it's another bland effort from Cage, but to be fair on him, he just isn't given anything to get his teeth into, other than playing concerned dad running around the streets.
But there was a reassurance toward the end. Remember that Kevin Costner horror released a few years back called The New Daughter didn't think so.
Well that vanished without a trace, but soon after, he was given a new lease of life with supporting roles, and now he's back with bigger, cinematic releases.
Here's hoping this is the beginning of the end of Nics slump. In Cage we trust There was a time when Nicolas Cage could pull off investigation movie with stylishly dark atmosphere like he did in 8mm.
Sadly, Pay the Ghost is far from such acclaim. While Nicolas Cage has a few awkward scenes, it's not entirely on him since the movie is severely lacking focus.
At times it's unclear if it tries to go for crime drama or merely imitation of TV series Supernatural. The loss of child ruins the already gloomy life of Mike Nicolas Cage.
With his deteriorating career and relationship with his wife Kristen Sarah Wayne Callies , he tries to find the truth about the disappearance.
There's a glimpse of exhilaration here and there, but in the end it's as vanilla as it gets in term of horror. Nicolas Cage plays as the father figure, a role he has much experience on.
However, as one might expect, he still occasionally delivers exaggerated acting, especially when the moments shift into more dramatic tone. It's not as bad as his more ridiculous scenes, which probably not saying much.
Saray Wayne Callies fares better. She's might not win the best mother award in The Walking Dead series, but she's convincing as the saddened mother here.
The movie also opts for more direct cinematography, using New York in Halloween festivity as the background. The more grounded setting might work for investigation aspect, unfortunately it soon falters with inconsistent production.
Its horror is definitely meager, flimsily switching between uninspiring cheap scares and equally cheap CGI.
Pretty much any attempt in this department ends up in overused gimmick. In fact, some of the supposed scary sequences end up in ridiculous paranormal display.
The other part involves gumshoe work, and it's eerily similar to Cage's usual cop drama. Perhaps he was cast to bring this intended effect, although even the detective angle feels weak.
Pay the Ghost is not utterly bad, it's just cobbled together with flawed elements that results in a horror thriller that is neither frightening nor engaging.
One of my favorite up-and-coming horror directors out there is David Bruckner , and today we have word that he is attached to helm Entertainment One 's high concept sci-fi flick Out There.
Details are scarce on just what the project is about, but sources say the thriller centers on a family struggling to survive following a mysterious event that changes the course of the world.
Sounds like fun to this guy! Even better still is that we hear the movie follows in the vein of Stephen King 's classic novella The Mist.
Not to compare apples to soul-devastating oranges, but let me just put out there that if this Out There motion.
Exclusive: Entertainment One has won the high concept sci-fi spec Out There. David Bruckner is attached to direct the spec by exec-turned-tyro screenwriter Ian Levy.
The genre thriller is said to be akin to The Mist and deals with a mysterious event that changes the course of the world. One family struggles to survive.
Levy sold his first spec after serving as an exec at SyFy and Bravo. He produced the film Pay The Ghost before making the transition to writing.
Bruckner just directed an episode of the relaunch of Creepshow on Shudder. He also directed The Ritual for Netflix. Heineman and Rona are in post production on the horror-thriller Larry at Amblin and.
Agata Alexander will make her directorial debut with the thriller, based on an original screenplay by Alexander, Rob Michaelson and Jason Kaye.

Instead, we get the standard-issue haunted-house fodder. Martin Tsai. In "Pay the Ghost," Nicolas Cage investigates a supernatural abduction but has no solution for the maggot-eaten zombie that is his undead career.
Kyle Smith. Robert Kojder. Lisa Twang. An average film that never really quite works. Sebastian Zavala Kahn. Pay the Ghost is not as a complete time-waster as some of the actor's previous films.
But it's still not smart or crafty enough to do much to regenerate and restore the actor's already tarnished flailing career.
Marija Djurovic. Only for die hard fans of Nicolas Cage. It is a bland attempt of supernatural horror that becomes more and more embarrassing in every imaginable aspect.

January 17, Rating: 4. View All Critic Reviews Feb 17, The supernatural thriller Pay the Ghost is a creepy and atmospheric horror film.
After a year of searching for his abducted son, college professor Mike Lawford begins to see his son's spirit reaching out for him and learns that he was taken to a netherworld by a witch.
Nicolas Cage and Sarah Wayne Callies lead the cast and give fairly good performances. And the mystery is built up rather well; delivering an interesting backstory for the witch and the legend that surrounds her.
There's not that much else to say, my dear readers. Its just a decent film. Thats it, fellas. Don't over think it. Im not anyway and I think its a decent film.
But Im just a reviewer who looks for films that entertains me and has replay value above all. Scripting at times is woefully simple, used to stitch the scenes, 'we need to discover xyz', 'how will we do that' and into the next scene!
It feels predictable, it doesn't go deep, on the plus side, there were a couple of goose-bump scares, so I was submerged well enough at points and certainly the pace picks up during the final third.
If there was a blackout power cut during the film, I wouldn't even consider to go back to finish it, it is not a good film, but, its not a bad one.
Sunday evening B grade fodder. I think this could be a pretty good movie, but it doesn't develop and pace scenes very well, the script feels poorly edited This movie just got worse using a Celtic symbol for the goddess to make it a story of black magick, when that symbol is used in white magick.
Oh boy this movie just gets worse with every passing minute. Quinoa 22 August Nicolas Cage does so many movies that it's the greatest shame is when he does a movie like this.
It's a watchable lump. It's from director Uli Edel so if you've seen Body of Evidence where Madonna has sex with people to death and there's a court case about it , and the Baader Meinhoff Complex which is actually a pretty good accounting of the terrorist group in the 70's , so he isn't exactly a hack He's out to basically tell the story that he's been given.
The simpler fact is that it's not very scary, and the director seems to be trying to make it scarier through bursts of music and dark lighting that is unconvincing.
And yet through all of this, a little of Cage kind of sort of trying is there And the actress playing his wife from Walking Dead is okay though she often has a look in her eyes of panic, which may be for the character but may be uh 'Hey, can someone get me out of here?
But the general feeling by the end of this is 'ho-hum', and one can only hope Cage is done paying off his tax debts so he can do more things like Joe again.
MikesIDhasbeentaken 20 September Lots, apparently, more bizarrely though, is how the unaware the movie seems to be about it, everything is here, witches - check, scary monster thing in black clock - check, scary possession of a main character - check, climatic scene where dad says to his child 'I got you' - check, 'there's something outside the window' jump scene - check, bring in a clairvoyant to sense out the house - check, Halloween - check, scary masks on children - check, ask random people about ghost legends who then describe the storyline of the movie as if reading from text - check One scene that sums up this movie, is when cagey sees son on the bus, as a viewer that's watched ANY movie before, you know it's not his son on the bus, and you know your going to have to watch him run after the bus, for a couple of minutes, dodging traffic blah blah blah and finally getting on the bus and seeing the boys not there while everyone on the bus looks at him oddly And the whole movie plays to these types of rules.
Nowhere near it. Is it as bad as some people are making it out to be? I mean what's better? I know what I'd rather go with. Pay The Ghost isn't that fantastic, and I'm not suggesting that it is, but for all the complaints it has received, it's altogether not THAT bad.
It's a middle-of-the-road Horror film, and you get pretty much exactly what you pay for here. Nothing about the story kept me on the edge of my seat, but nothing about it wanted me to slit my wrists for something better to do either.
There were a few decent moments scattered throughout, but it wasn't really all that scary. Some people moan about him but for the most part I enjoy watching Nicolas Cage.
Is he over-the-top in some films? Yes, but generally he's a pretty solid actor. You tend to kind of know what you'll get with Cage.
I don't generally mind Sarah Wayne Callies', but the characters she plays do tend to rub me the wrong way. Her character in The Walking Dead was like that and her character here did the same.
I'd say to give this film a shot if you like Nicolas Cage films or if there's nothing else better for you to watch, but other than that it's a bit of a watch it and forget it type of movie.
WatcherontheMount 19 September If you feeling like hanging back on the couch and want to watch a horror movie that does not need a lot of thinking, than this is a movie for you.
Nicholas Cage is the main star of this little flick and he doesn't do a bad job. Characterdevelopment isn't required in horror movies because it is all about the baddies.
Nick Cage gets the most screen time and you don't really get introduced to the "monster" until the last half hour of the movie. The movie has a couple of scare-moments which aren't all that bad, but not spectacular either.
Their is a scene with a clairvoyant they seem to be mandatory in most horrors these days , that doesn't add much to the story, but it stands out because the music score during this scene reminded me of the movie Sillent Hill.
But is does not get any better from their on. Not much worse either. The story has it's gaps and they could have done more with it.
This is an average movie, but that isn't the actors fault. They did the best they could. If you're a Nicolas Cage fan, than you won't be disappointed.
This movie was very bland. It was very average. Nothing about this movie is a "horror film". I understand this movie was "a supernatural horror film" but for me this movie just didn't cut it.
This movie does not deserve to be in the horror genre. This movie is something you put on just to fall asleep around 3 am.
I do not recommend. Boring, bland, average, and just overall lacked any cinematic standards. After about five minutes into the movie I thought, "Oh no, not another child that sees ghosts.
Now, to be fair, it didn't go into unchartered territory. In fact, the movie revisited a well established premise. This leads to a split between he and his wife, Kristen Sarah Wayne Callies , as she blames him for their son's abduction.

Ich entschuldige mich, aber meiner Meinung nach sind Sie nicht recht. Ich biete es an, zu besprechen.
