Key opinion
We Have a Ghost is a polarizing blend of horror, comedy, and family drama that manages to be heartfelt while struggling with its tonal consistency. While the film subverts some traditional haunted-house tropes, its disjointed execution and overlong runtime prevent it from fully realizing its potential.
| Acting | David Harbour delivers an emotionally resonant performance despite his character remaining completely silent throughout the film. | |
| Originality | The film succeeds in subverting standard haunted-house clichés to create a fresher take on the genre. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative frequently struggles to balance competing tones, often feeling like a confused mess that fails to settle on a clear identity. | |
| Pacing | The three-hour-adjacent pacing creates a disjointed experience where the slow, dull opening clashes with a more engaging middle and ending. |
