Inner Ghosts (2018)

Inner Ghosts: Directed by Paulo Leite, João Alves. With Iris Cayatte, Inês Sá Frias, Paulo Leite, Celia Williams. A woman who gave up on her life as a medium receives a gift from the afterlife: a device that can perform wonderful things – at a price.

“So, story goes that Helen is a medium who gave it up to study the u0026quot;spiritualu0026quot; element in living humans as means to communicate with those that donu0026#39;t have the ability to manage their memory and cognitive process well enough, such as in the case of dementia. But first she has to practice on ghosts. This produced a hysterical scene of Helen giving a ghost a mini-mental status exam question. Priceless! But, alas, poor Helen becomes fixated on the communication with ghosts and training two others who have psychic abilities. (This film posits that one can develop psychic abilities if you have the beginning abilities and are open to expanding on these.) She is rebuked by her partner (is it a business venture? an academic setting? Iu0026#39;m not certain.) as it isnu0026#39;t profitable to build research and sellable applications using ghost communication as a basis. This all leads to more improbable boring material as 3-D printing becomes essential to the process of communicating with the deceased. Somehow. This one I feel is more to be blamed on the contrivances of the script and the lazy plot points to get to the end of the story with their u0026quot;shockeru0026quot; of a turn of events. Hohum.”
