SYNOPSIS
In a bid to escape her nutso ex-boyfriend, Jacob, Alyssa
(Marina Resa) takes a housekeeping gig
at a remote Southwestern home. But her retreat coincides with the Chinese calendar's
seventh month, when dead
souls allegedly raise hell among the mortal world. Skeptical Alyssa isn't convinced
by the warnings of her
Chinese employers (Shirley To and Akiko Shima) until she starts having nightmarish
visions in this creepy horror extravaganza.

"Writer-director Danny Draven shoots
on 35mm here to produce a good-looking, slick and visually
accomplished film. Making good use of the sun-drenched outdoor scenery, GHOST
MONTH is a very photogenic film.
The cast are attractive and competent, while the editing is slick and assured.
Eschewing overly-flashy techniques in favour of a much preferable straight storytelling
style, Draven delivers
an unfussy and brisk horror film that, while clearly influenced by the efforts
of our Asian friends, has enough inner logic and sense
of drama to keep it firmly in sight of its American origins... GHOST MONTH is
a commendable effort that takes some
interesting ideas and handles them with intelligence. It deserves to be seen,
and consolidates
Draven's status as a low-budget director of considerable promise."
- SEX GORE MUTANTS. U.K.
"Draven fashions an enjoyable
Chinese ghost thriller that creates a nice creepy atmosphere
and delivers solid scares along the way. CG ghost effects, used sparingly, are
quite effective.
Overall, an enjoyable ghost-a-rama!"
- Videoscope Magazine
"A genuinely creepy and slick-looking tale." - MJ Simpson, U.K. Film Journalist
"A very worthwhile ghost
story... In many ways, the production of Ghost Month after a
string of gorier monster/slasher flicks reminds me of John Carpenter directing
the old-fashioned
ghost yarn The Fog (1980) after having practically invented the American slasher
movie
with Halloween (1978). After all, shock is easy. But dread? That’s hard."
- Cold Fusion Video Reviews
"Overall, a decent film with creepiness to satisfy..." - HORRORNEWS.net
