Synopsis: A student with some drug and money problems lay hands on an ancien coffin that contains some mechanisms and seem to have a mysterious power.
Review: Interesting story that this one of a mechanical antique coffin that reproduces for a moment the sensation of dying (Near Death Experience of NDA). But the question that rises, like in the Final Destination franchise or in Flatliners (L'experience interdite), is: can you cheat Death?
Well, you already know what the answer need to be in order to make a good thriller or slasher movie. In The Ghostmaker, the story is centered on the three friends that make the discovery, and what they do with it. I estimate the quality of the movie somewhere between a good telefilm and a cheap B movie. Not too bad after all. And a good realisation for the illustrator
Mauro Borrelli.
Rating: 6 /10
