   A GHOST WAITS is a new take on an old idea.  Muriel is fairly   
   successfully haunting a house: all the renters break their lease   
   and run away, in a set of shots of household pandemonium under the   
   titles.  (The last one even leaves a bookcase full of books!)   
      
   Then Jack shows up to prep the house for the next renters and he   
   isn't scared off so easily.  In fact, for a long time we don't hear   
   anything other than background music Jack is playing or see   
   anything besides Jack talking to himself.  Eventually more ghostly   
   things start happening.  It still seems like a feature-length skit,   
   but this is a movie of slow reveals.  We find out that there is   
   more to the haunting than just a ghost who cannot rest, and it is   
   not revealing anything the advertising doesn't when I say that it   
   is more a rom-com than a horror film.   
      
   Filmed in black and white, with the ghost lit from under her chin,   
   A GHOST WAITS was definitely influenced by classic ghost stories   
   such as TOPPER and THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR.   Nevertheless, it   
   blazes its own trail.  It surpasses expectations, and while it is   
   ultimately more promising than accomplished, its use of an   
   interesting concept makes it worth seeing.
