The Ghost Writer is a 2022 supernatural horror movie about a struggling author who plagiarizes his late father’s final manuscript, unwittingly awakening vengeful spirits tied to a dark family secret he can’t escape.
Synopsis: Gilliger Graham, a washed-up writer teetering on the brink of obscurity, receives an ultimatum from his agent: deliver a hit novel or kiss his career goodbye. Desperate, he retreats to his crumbling family home, the site of his father’s mysterious death years earlier. A literary titan in his time, Gilliger’s father casts a long shadow, and the house brims with painful memories. As writer’s block tightens its grip, Gilliger drowns his frustrations in whiskey until he stumbles upon a hidden manuscript – his father’s final, unfinished work. The novel is a masterpiece, far beyond anything Gilliger could ever create. He decides to plagiarize it, retyping the words as his own. However, as the story unfolds, its characters begin to haunt him, and chilling revelations emerge: the manuscript is a cryptic confession, tying his father to a gruesome, long-buried murder.
