Girl Haunts Boy

Watched with my wife and it was a quick fun movie that was a change of pace from the regular halloween releases the last few years. Definitely recommend for teens and pre-teens or just a nice couples movie to relax to. When it was over sitting with my wife we kept talking about it being so familiar and after some searching we remembered the old Disney movie with the Pink Power Ranger. Not exactly the same and (apparently there is no streaming copy of Susie Q available). Girl Haunts boy was Still a good watch with nice music and the actors did a nice job with a ghostly romance story. If you can find a copy of Susie Q after I would recommend for a follow up to this one.

Girl Haunts Boy was honestly a pleasant surprise. It had that cozy, slightly quirky vibe that works well for a supernatural romance, and the directing kept things grounded even when the story leaned into the more whimsical moments. Emily Ting handled the pacing pretty well, giving the characters enough space to grow without dragging the plot. The production was clean and polished without feeling too polished, if that makes sense. It had a kind of indie spirit but looked and sounded like a proper feature.

Acting-wise, both Peyton List and Michael Cimino brought a lot of charm and sincerity to their roles. They had great chemistry, and it helped carry the emotional beats without things feeling forced. The script kept things light without losing its emotional core, which made it easy to connect with the characters. Nothing felt over-explained or too dramatic. The score was subtle but nicely done, and the cinematography had some soft, warm tones that gave the film a nice visual texture. It's one of those films that doesn't scream for attention but ends up sticking with you a bit after. Definitely worth a watch.

I enjoyed the premise of the story but some aspects in the movie made me think the producers didn't quite get things right. For example, since when does a century old female ghost wear white nail polish? At different scenes she doesn't have nail polish though. Also, a national museum at night would not have the front door open and without a guard making it really easy to break in. Little things like that just makes me question the lack of attention to details. Yeah yeah I know it's a petty little thing, but things like that should matter when you're filming a movie. Authenticity matters to make the experience more fluid.

As someone who usually steers clear of romance movies, Girl Haunts Boy took me by complete surprise. It's not your typical love story-it's an enchanting mix of humor, heartfelt emotion, and an irresistible touch of the supernatural. The film struck a rare balance between being adorably fresh and deeply emotional, keeping me glued to the screen the entire time.

The chemistry between the two leads was simply magical. Their dynamic felt so genuine and natural that I couldn't help but root for them. From their witty banter to the quiet, tender moments, their connection completely drew me in.

What really sets Girl Haunts Boy apart is its unique tone. While the movie is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and quirky charm, there's an underlying sadness that tugs at your heartstrings. Somehow, though, it never feels heavy-it's more of a bittersweet, uplifting sadness. I cried so much, but I with a happy, full heart.

If you're looking for a romance that feels fresh, funny, and deeply touching, Girl Haunts Boy is a must-watch. Even if romance isn't your usual genre (like me), this film might just surprise you. It's a beautiful reminder that love, in all its forms, can be hauntingly unforgettable.

Original, fun and safe, even for kids. I like scary stuff and romance too, so... Well there's a venn diagram!

In this tiny niche I would include "Warm Bodies" where a girl finds true love with a zombie, and even the old "Gremlins" movies.

Hallmark style, pretty scenery, with warm sets, and plenty of bokeh. There aren't a lot of twists, but the few they use are great!

Peyton is new to me, but she's fantastic and I would give a movie a chance just to see her do more. This part seemed as easy as breathing for her.

Overall 8 of Ten rated as what it is. A safe and fun Halloween Romance. As those go, this is one of the best.
