After the death of his father, Cole (Michael Cimino) moves with his mother to a new house in a new town to discover he's also sharing a room with the ghost of 17-year-old Bea (Peyton List), an adventurous, funny teenager from the 1920s trapped in present day and has been haunting the house since the 1920s under the curse of an ancient ring. The two lonely teens become fast friends and eventually fall in love -- but when Cole discovers a way to undo the curse, he must decide whether to keep Bea with him or let her go.

[Girl Haunts Boy] begins simply with a girl meeting a boy, and develops into a thoughtful film about the past and its continued impact on us in the present.

While the idea of interacting with ghosts may feel like it is a movie to watch more around the Halloween season, Girl Haunts Boy is a film that could be enjoyable at any point of the year.

Ghost stories are a dime a dozen. Ghost stories that are actually about grief, about love, and about the joy that can be found, even in dark times, when someone else really, truly sees you, are very rare indeed.

"Girl Haunts Boy" is a surprisingly emotional, feel-good flick with a sprinkling of spooky and a wallop of well-realized character drama. It's a cozy Fall treat eager to envelop you in its warmth and tenderness.

If you like your spooky movies with a more wholesome vibe, you don’t want to miss Girl Haunts Boy. Cimino anchors the ghostly romance with his charm and warmth, while List brings a free-spirited wit to her role.

Girl Haunts Boy can be slow, but List and Cimino add a lot of heart and warmth to a story that helps heal the broken.

Como puede ser que una comedia romántica adolescente sobre el fantasma de una chica que solo un chico de su edad puede ver sea tan buena película y aborde al mismo tiempo temas tan complejos como la perdida o la importancia de apreciar el pasado? La verdad que una muy grata sorpresa, una historia simple pero que se enfoca mas en los sentimientos y creo que por eso funciona tan bien. Simple, inocente pero a la vez hermosa.

Very sweet and very heartfelt, with good acting and direction. An excellent choice for family movie night if your kids are young (especially girls.) Peyton List had me at hello.
