I randomly came across this movie and happy I gave it a shot. It's a very simple plot about a ghost (Spectral Agent) having to scare any and all persons from a home, Clearly a smaller budget movie but one that uses that budget well, no bad looking stock effects like many other small budget films. i'm assuming it's black and white to make the make-up not seem out of place which it doesn't. The dynamic between Jack (Macleod Andres) and Muriel (Natalie Walker) were certainly the best parts, I hope I see the two get more acting jobs after this.
Check out the film, you might find a small contained story refeshing.

Beetlejuice Lite
A quirky film which was dependent a lot on the musical vibe and warm tone.
Initiating with the plot as an odd-jobber falls in love with the ghost.
The cinematography is black and white and when you look at it, it will make you feel how cheap it looks as some scenes have gloomy jitters but the film looks sub par.
The dialogues are surface level however, it touches some of the emotional aspects of life where few audience can relate.
The film ultimately is dedicated to the loners and directing for the first time Adam Stovall This isn't a bad start but the film could have been much better.
The score is obviously what holds this film, this movie is dependent a lot for its musical appeal as some songs fit the scenes impeccably.
The acting is average but not bad.
One goof I found was around 45 minutes time when the camera man snickers which they should have easily retaken the shoot.
Generally, it is a mix of Romance-Comedy-Drama and not a bad one to watch but also not a good one either.
Ghost story
This film took me by surprise as I had no expectation from it and it struck a chord with me that came out of left field. It is an endearing ghost story that tugs at your sentimental strings leaving you with a warm feeling inside & an unexpected smile upon your face (like when your crush first notices you). It is remarkable that something shot in black and white can elicit feelings like that.
The actings from the cast are top notch & the chemistry between the 2 leads are organic. It goes without saying, the script is very smart, funny in parts and makes this cynic grow a heart like the Grinch! Some may call it a dark comedy but it is so much more than that. It is a definite recommendation from me.
