Death of a Ghost Hunter
Renowned "ghost hunter", Carter Simms is paid to conduct a paranormal investigation of a supposedly haunted house. Along with a cameraman, a reporter, and a spiritual advocate, she embarks on a three night journey into terror.
Why it matters
A found-footage ghost story that leans into atmospheric dread and raw, low-budget charm to deliver a slow-burn haunting.
- Embodies mid-2000s indie paranormal flicks with earnest performances and minimal effects — a time capsule for haunt aficionados.
- Focuses on building unease through confined settings and creaky old-house tropes rather than cheap jump scares.
- Perfect for fans of Blair Witch-style realism who appreciate mood over spectacle.
- Falls short on narrative payoff and polish, but its authentic scrappiness offers a glimpse into grassroots ghost hunting cinema.
