The Blackwell Ghost 7

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The last time we joined Turner he was communicating with his dead wife via keyboard (I think, my memory ain’t all it’s cracked up to be) and was now the owner of that Lightfoot house that offered up so much evidence of the paranormal while still raising a handful of questions. Now, Turner Clay confesses that the Florida house has almost completely gone silent with supernatural activity. He’ll still hear the keyboard playing sometimes at his family home but it’s a disheartening turn of events. Officer Ramey gets ahold of him and tells him he needs to see him immediately. A local girl has gone missing, and left behind at the possible crime scene was a note with a photo of Ruth Blackwell above the words “want to play”. This definitely connects our hero to things especially because the same note was sent to him a year ago by someone, someone who Turner is now beginning to think is a mentally unwell stalker. Even if he’s hopeful there will be no connection and he can just move on with his life… yeah, sure. A couple days later he gets a package containing a piece of cloth covered in blood with a note that says “A gift for my new friend”. Uh oh. He gets dragged in further as the law officers need his help because he’s the only one this weirdo seems to be willing to communicate with after he gets an email invite to a private chat. He has grandma grab the kids and gets to work, begrudgingly communicating with a probable psychopath. Cryptic statements follow as one would expect when joining a chatroom with a lunatic stalker that has probably killed a young woman. The creep sends Turner a photo of himself from a few months ago attempting to follow the map he has. So Turner heads back to Florida to keep tracking that Lightfoot map. Sure as shit, he finds something this time around. A DIY trail cam and a note that leads him to an old-ass mailbox in the middle of the woods. What’s in that old-ass mailbox in the middle of the woods? Why, it’s another fucking clue of course! A piece of paper in a glass bottle with another riddle (don’t worry, Turner breaks it all down for us) and then a look at the trail cam’s SD card features video of a masked man that would probably disturb anyone more than any phantom knocks ever could. Soon after, masked creep calls Turner to let him know that he’s watching him. Since Turner is alone at the Lightfoot location, that’s something that would induce the crapping of one’s pants. More clues come through and Turner attempts to help where he can and play the weirdo’s games for the sake of the missing girl and unfound victims of Lightfoot. The modified Speak & Spell warns of danger as Turner gets in over his head thanks to some really irresponsible police work. Dropping the supernatural angle for the most part gives this one a different vibe as it throws the true crime angle to the front of everything and it’s alright but the whole pitting Turner Clay against a criminal mastermind is pretty silly and, of course, the film closes with the game still afoot.
