Watched the USA's 2023 We Have A Ghost (2:07:06). The Presley family purchases a house in Chicago, only to later discover that a ghost named Ernest Scheller resides in the attic. Kevin, the younger of two brothers, befriends the ghost. Together with his next-door neighbor Joy Yoshino, he launches a research on how Ernest died and attempts to help his spirit move on.
At last, here is a rare, wholesome, feel-good, general patronage Halloween movie, except for one thing: like all movies produced in Christian countries, the dialogue is peppered with "Shit!" (which the same Christians pretentiously spell out as "Sh*t!" as though to make the written word incomprehensible). Ironically, they are the same persons who blur out genitals, nipples, and asses on classical sculpture, oil paintings, and even Barbie dolls, and no one bothers to analyze the Victorian disconnect.
The movie is also a commentary on how the media and the government intrude on people's personal lives. It ends, though, like an episode out of Ghost Whisperer minus Jennifer Love Hewitt.
