My overall impression

Really enjoyed myself. Girlfriend bought tickets to the show so I didn’t know what I was getting myself into… Seeing a “horror play” with no pretense or expectation is the way to go.

The script was straight out of a cheesy 80’s movie. You’ve paid more to see worse writing on the silver screen – get over it and you’re in for a treat.

The cast and director win big with a plot that revolves around a haunted theatre. Hey! We’re seeing a play in a theatre, right? Wonder if it’s the same theatre GHOST LIGHT happened in…

Without a camera to direct the audience’s attention, the cast relies HEAVILY on creative lighting techniques. It works! Lightning strikes, flickering lights, and spastic blackouts play well into the hands of the actors. They capitalize with innovative approaches to movie tropes. You will scream in terror, more than once. I don’t think my girlfriend let go of my hand once.

Enjoy watching a horror film unravel in real time in front of your eyes.
