Inner Ghosts is a low-budget supernatural horror movie directed and written by Paulo Leite in his directorial debut. The film began as a Kickstarter campaign from Leite which was funded successfully in 2018. A touch on the convoluted side of things, it still kept my attention, for better or worse, and in the end I found that there were some really inventive and interesting ideas going on here.
What struck me immediately, which isn’t usually the case with low-budget horror films, was the impeccable and delightful music that Inner Ghosts had going on. The work done by Miguel Cordeiro who composed the minimalist and eerie score to the film is worth mentioning in my view. It really helped to immediately convey a specific energy and added true quality to things.
