Ghost of Goldfield

D: Ok, we all know the story of the Goldfield Hotel right? I mean, folks who have seen the documentary of Ghost Adventures when they investigated it should have a clue at least.
This movie takes artistic license and creates a story based on the infamous hotels dark story of Elizabeth. The working gal who was kept prisoner by the owner of the hotel. A film crew goes out to the hotel to investigate the ghost of Elizabeth who resides there. They discover terrifying secrets as well as the fact, that most of them are useless.
Seriously, the characters that are a part of this fictional film crew are the last people that you want on your team. One of them is a kleptomaniac and screams at her own shadow. She isn't even part of the crew. She is just the audio guys girlfriend. The only things that she is good for, is to distract the ghost, while you get away. The other is a drunk frat boy who's main contribute to the team is the booze. Plus you got horrible acting done by the main gal. Since this is based on a true story, I would think that they would do some form of justice for poor Elizabeth. But no. If anything all they did was create a typical C class movie with 'College' students and put them in a situation they have no business in, and leave no closure as to the reason for the haunting to continue. Take my advice, stick with the documentary that Ghost Adventures made. Its more entertaining and scary. Plus, there are no bad death scenes caused by ghosts in it.

N: Well I have enjoyed the historical aspects of the Goldfield Hotel, but half way through this flick I was ready to find a room and just plain take a nap. So exhausting watching these teenage brats barge around these hotel in an effort to catch a haunting. First the main chick has not affiliation with the Discovery Channel, or she would be more professional. Some of the scenes that showed us the past and what took place far more interesting then watching what the kids had been doing. Another low-grade flick that did not meet the mark.
