An awkward, unemployed man who can talk to the dead teams up with a rebellious bartender to find the vengeful ghost that's been terrorizing their town. Raymond has a prestigious MBA, but he can't find work. He can channel the paranormal, but chatting with a cute girl mystifies him. Kicked out of his big city apartment, Raymond returns home to his overbearing mother, ex-jock father, and beer-bellied classmates. But when a vengeful ghost terrorizes the small town, the city-boy recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to solve the mystery of the spirit threatening everyone's lives.
a ramshackle, tone-deaf curiosity, with just about enough funny moments to make the more meandering scenes and pointless digressions pass by - but... it is not just that Bates shows potential to improve - he has already done much better.
Richard Bates Jr.'s second film, Suburban Gothic, is a bit rough around the edges at times, but none of that gets in the way of the high energy and generous laughs packed into a tight and very funny 90 minutes.
Suburban Gothic is a hipster's Poltergeist that boasts more of Richard Bates Jr.'s darkly comedic wit, but more importantly, it's a strong second feature that showcases one of the more vibrant up-and-coming horror filmmakers the genre has to offer.
Suburban Gothic is ultimately a hodgepodge of horror comedy, as too many components working against one another turn the film into something forgettable.
