My husband and I agreed to watch this one. We love supernatural horror type stuff. I can't remember the last time a "scary" movie actually gave me the creeps. But Ghosts of War succeeded! 

The acting was good and the story had me hooked until...the ending. I know what they were trying to do and it is a surprising twist but instead of taking that sharp left turn into OMG! it dropped off the cliff into WTF?

I've included the trailer and a 25-minute video explaining the ending... and the guy concludes it doesn't make any sense! This is such a freaking shame because it is really good until the ending.

So, should you see it? That's a hard one. It's on Netflix so you aren't losing any money and the first 90% is worth watching. I'll leave that up to you.

My husband gives it 3 sheep


I'll give it two ratings:
Before ending: 4.25 "cursed" Sheep


After ending: 2 "SMH" Sheep
