10. We Have A Ghost

Comedy horrors aren't easy to get right.

They can create a disconnect by their very nature, which means that they have to be handled very carefully in order to achieve the desired balance between funny and bloody.

This balance was not achieved by Christopher Landon's We Have a Ghost.

The brains behind Happy Death Day take a sideways glance at the traditional haunted house narrative in this Netflix film starring Stranger Things' David Harbour and the MCU's Anthony Mackie.

Upon moving into their new home, the Presley family (no relation to Elvis, probably) discover that an amnesiac spectre is haunting them. It's up to the humans to find out about the ghost's past in order to lay him to rest.

Whilst We Have a Ghost did some things right, it didn't quite nail everything it tried to do.

It attempted to combine a scary ghost story with a slapstick comedy with a feelgood redemption arc and ended up watering down all of those elements in the process.

It had its moments, but the movie sadly fell short of what it could have been.

We're not angry, we're just disappointed.
