We Have a Ghost is an ET/Poltergeist hybrid that I guess wants to create that old 80s fantasy magic. In the film, a family moves into a haunted house and one of the kids befriends a ghost in the attic.
The most interesting idea in this is of monetizing that ghost, leading to a reasonably entertaining moment of the story catching fire on social media. But outside of that, this movie is just so uninteresting. Characters run in and out with their agendas, people make faces, the kid gets the ghost to do stupid stuff, there's a chase scene.
The chase scene is where I stopped, about halfway through I think. It wasn't terrible, but like everything else in the movie, it really wasn't anything at all. It was just a lump of inert matter pretending to be a story development.
This is surprising coming from director/writer Christopher Landon, whose movies I check out because the Happy Death Day movies were so entertaining. And while his previous film, Freaky, was not very good, it still had some interesting things in it. But this, this is a film-shaped void.
Don't bother.
