Only a fraction of the novel, but still quite a film. It's not that the film is so scary, but that the ghost is so alluring. This film has the big boss from Rollerball.
"Alma Mobley/Eva Galli
Alma Mobley is a mysterious woman that seems to have a strange, ethereal attractiveness.
The only problem is, she's the Euro-American version of a 'vengeful spirit.'
So if you got the balls to go out with her, you better not get on her shit list, because when she's angry, grown men cry...
...to death.

"Ghost Story is not really a horror movie, but it's definitely a ghost story. It has Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Patricia Neal. Those are some of the best actors of their time, and they still have it even in the 80's.
What makes this movie different is the lack of cliched horror elements. There's minimal screaming, no running through hallways, but the movie has an atmosphere, and it never lets you down. If you haven't watched it before, just send an order to netflix"

It's not long before tragedy strikes, a pattern emerges, and it's discovered that a certain true story buried in their past has come back to haunt them.
It's a solid horror offering from the early 80s featuri"

OK, so some of the special effects are a little dated. I don't know I still enjoy this film after all these years... well by enjoy I mean it still creeps me out."
