Movie Review: Put “GHOST TOWN” Out to Pasture
Owen Conway's flawed horror western isn't completely unwatchable, but it is nearly unenjoyable.

If it remains, in the end, little more than a well-polished B-picture, it’s also blessedly free of the distractions that weighed down JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION.
The filmmakers have the SCREAM formula down cold by this point, and the skill to keep the proceedings from playing like formula.
THE WELDER falters on nearly every front. Whatever social commentary it attempts to offer about racism and mental health issues is derailed by Vincent De Paul’s wooden portrayal of a vengeful mad scientist conducting nonsensical “welding” experiments on his victims.
It’s no small achievement that Okumura and co. make UNSEEN a cohesive whole while intertwining a pair of plotlines with widely varying tones.
