New Showbiz Analysis

Ghosts That Still Walk follows the standard horror conventions of the 1970s, using a supernatural possession cliché. While the film introduces Indigenous spiritual motifs, it lacks the complexity or characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity needed for a more progressive rating. The narrative focuses on a young boy's descent into terror, without evidence of systemic critique or diverse character development. The film primarily serves as a genre piece rather than a tool for cultural exploration.
