Reviews:
“When Margot roams through the old house, it’s quite atmospheric. And the father-son team, who absolutely want to prove that nothing paranormal is going on, is also a plus. Only that’s not enough to offset the frugal rest of this rather low-cost production.” 4 out of 10, Film Rezensionen [translated from German]
“The Ghost Within is a throwback to an old-fashioned haunted house ghost film. The moody setting is provided by dimly lit rooms with burning candles as the only light source. The haunting is focused on one apparition. This is a film for classic horror enthusiasts, but not for those who seek a horror movie peppered with graphic kills, jump scares, and slash/gash.” 80% Wherever I Look
