Interesting at times--enough times to land it in the "watchable" category--Ghost Town is a potentially interesting story rendered mundane through poor storytelling. A couple of goofs on the part of the filmmakers don't help either. Just as the town itself is caught between past and present, the film is caught between being a western and a ghost story, without the style of the former, the mood of the latter, and without the conviction of either. (1999/Jan 24, 2002)
