After the death of his father, Cole (Michael Cimino) moves with his mother to a new house in a new town to discover he's also sharing a room with the ghost of 17-year-old Bea (Peyton List), an adventurous, funny teenager from the 1920s trapped in present day and has been haunting the house since the 1920s under the curse of an ancient ring. The two lonely teens become fast friends and eventually fall in love -- but when Cole discovers a way to undo the curse, he must decide whether to keep Bea with him or let her go.

[Girl Haunts Boy] begins simply with a girl meeting a boy, and develops into a thoughtful film about the past and its continued impact on us in the present.

While the idea of interacting with ghosts may feel like it is a movie to watch more around the Halloween season, Girl Haunts Boy is a film that could be enjoyable at any point of the year.

Ghost stories are a dime a dozen. Ghost stories that are actually about grief, about love, and about the joy that can be found, even in dark times, when someone else really, truly sees you, are very rare indeed.

"Girl Haunts Boy" is a surprisingly emotional, feel-good flick with a sprinkling of spooky and a wallop of well-realized character drama. It's a cozy Fall treat eager to envelop you in its warmth and tenderness.

Rated: 3.5/5

If you like your spooky movies with a more wholesome vibe, you don’t want to miss Girl Haunts Boy. Cimino anchors the ghostly romance with his charm and warmth, while List brings a free-spirited wit to her role.

Girl Haunts Boy can be slow, but List and Cimino add a lot of heart and warmth to a story that helps heal the broken.

I had no clue about this movie, but it was really cute. A pretty unique storyline. Be ready to shed a tear during the last scene in a good way.

PG films are meant to be simple, and easy to follow. They capture what it is to be a child, teenager and sometimes adult. Girl Haunts Boy is brilliant because it showcases grief and loneliness that follow a tragedy. Bea I believe represents what we want, but cannot have following tragedy. Cole is lonely, and Bea saves him from that, and yet we learn through the movie that Bea deserves to be free, and Cole needs to grieve. Although it may be cheesy, I personally cried for the last thirty minutes of the film, because accepting the truth versus wanting the opposite are framed in the film. Peyton List and Michael Cimino both have excellent performances, and this movie deserves a rewatch. I hope more PG films can be appreciated for their complexity, just like this one.

At one point, a character said "how do you know?" Five stars.

It was great until the ending. Not sure why the director decided to go for a bittersweet ending, when it could have ended so much better.
