As an accomplished character actor and leading man, David Harbour has just about done it all in his career. But his latest role as Ernest the Ghost in Netflix’s We Have a Ghost is unlike any character he—or almost any other modern actor—has ever attempted. The gimmick is this: Harbour has no lines. He doesn’t speak once in the entire movie.

Actors lend their voices to movies without showing their faces all the time, but rarely does it happen the other way around for a leading performance in the 21st century. The question is, why make a movie in which one of its most recognizable stars on Netflix doesn’t say a word?

The answer is the same for any question about good artistic choices: Because it makes the story better.

Review: We Have A Ghost is the quintessential Neflix movie: a solid budget, recognizable actors in supporting roles, and some fresh-faced teen talent performing for a talented director. It also is overlong and does not seem to have any oversight on what should have been trimmed from its excessive running time. Christopher Landon’s movie is a mash-up of Ghostbusters, Harry and the Hendersons, and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial with an aim at being a family friendly adventure movie but one that does not really make any inroads towards a particular audience. With a mute performance from David Harbour as Ernest, We Have A Ghost...

We Have a Ghost is a comedy movie written and directed by Christopher Landon starring David Harbour, Jahi Di’Allo Winston and Anthony Mackie.

Oh, and dishy Jennifer Coolidge!

A movie with ghosts, familiar, full of clichés… Let´s go, so what were you expecting with kind of a plot? A good Hollywood product with good actors and professional directing in a movie that conjures the usual formulas, which work and thanks to the precision of millions of miles of cellulloid… knows how to press the right buttons in the viewer.

Storyline

A family moves into a very large house with a suspicious low price. They are not alone, evidently and soon the ghost starts doing its tricks.

Writer/Director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) evokes the family-friendly Amblin movies of yesterday for his latest, Netflix’s We Have a Ghost. Wearing its formative gateway horror influences on its sleeves, We Have a Ghost blends nostalgic family adventure-induced charm with Landon’s distinct ability to render authentic characters to an affecting degree. While it threatens to overstay its welcome, the tender adventure delivers ghostly charm, poignant family bonds, and humor that’ll appeal to new generations of budding genre fans.

The Presley family moved into a long-vacant fixer-upper near Chicago, looking for a fresh start. It’s the latest in a string of new beginnings for ambitious, restless dad Frank (Anthony Mackie), much to the chagrin of his youngest son, Kevin (Jahi Winston). Not even older brother Fulton (Niles Fitch) or peacekeeping mom Melanie (Erica Ash) can stave off the mounting tension between them. Kevin’s tired...

Happy Death Day and Freaky director Christopher Landon’s Amblin-style family adventure We Have a Ghost premieres on Netflix on February 24.

Written and directed by Landon, We Have a Ghost is an adaptation of a story written by Geoff Manaugh, published on Vice in October of that year.

In the film, “Finding a ghost named Ernest haunting their new home turns Kevin’s family into overnight social media sensations. But when Kevin and Ernest go rogue to investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA.”

We Have a Ghost stars Jahi Di’Allo Winston (Charm City Kings) as Kevin and David Harbour (Violent Night, “Stranger Things”) as the ghostly Ernest. Ahead of the film’s premiere, Bloody Disgusting spoke with Harbour about what it’s like to portray a nonspeaking ghost and what keeps him returning to the genre.

Harbour may have a recognizable voice,...

In case you’re wondering what it’s like to work with Jennifer Coolidge, David Harbour’s here to confirm that she’s “as amazing as you think she is, both off camera and on.”

Although the “Stranger Things” star “really only [had] one day with her” on set while filming their upcoming movie “We Have A Ghost”, Harbour, who plays a ghost named Ernest, had a pleasant experience working alongside Coolidge, who portrays a TV medium.

Netflix has launched the trailer for its forthcoming horror comedy ‘We Have a Ghost’ starring David Harbour and Anthony Mackie.

The story follows a family who has moved into a haunted house. When the youngest son, Kevin (Niles Fitch), ventures into the attic on a ghost-hunting quest, he discovers a mute and not-so-scary ghost named Ernest (Harbour).

He films their interaction and then uploads it onto YouTube and the family (led by Mackie’s character) becomes an overnight sensation, with everyone, including psychics wanting a piece of the spectre.

When they investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA who have malicious intent for the spirit. Can the family help Ernest before it’s too late?

Jennifer Coolidge also stars along with Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Tig Notaro, Erica Ash, Faith Ford, Niles Fitch, Isabella Russo, and Steve Coulter.

Jennifer Coolidge has lived many lives on screen, one of her latest being in Netflix’s upcoming film We Have a Ghost. Judging by her fear-stricken reaction to seeing an actual ghost, the psychic medium she plays, Judy Romano, is the kind of supernatural communicator who hopes they never actually have to come in contact with the supernatural.

It doesn’t help that the ghost at hand, a wronged family man named Ernest (David Harbour), is in cahoots with a teenager named Kevin (Jahi Di’Allo Winston), whose family moved into a haunted house.

In the mood for a good haunting but don’t want to be scared?

Then, you might want to check out the new trailer for We Have a Ghost. The comedy is a Netflix original starring the streaming service’s Stranger Things star, David Harbour, and Anthony Mackie. The movie looks to have a fun twist on the typical tropes of a family moving into a new home in a new town that knows of rumors of an apparition in said home. Harbour’s spectre is the friendliest ghost outside of Casper and hijinks ensue when he and Mackie’s family start co-existing as local celebrities.

The official Netflix synopsis reads,

“Ernest the ghost, discovered by the homeowner who named him that because the apparation looks like Ernest Borgnine. The homeowner Frank, begins filming his ghost and posting it for the world to see on social media. Ernest becomes a viral sensation.

What happens when you take a modern-day dysfunctional family and move them into a haunted house? According to movies of the past, they get the bejesus scared out of them on a daily basis, until they finally decide to get the hell out of dodge and leave the specter-filled home behind. But I think Netflix's upcoming comedy "We Have A Ghost" paints a much more realistic image of how it would go down: Sure, the family is initially scared, but then they break out the cameras, make a YouTube account, and turn their haunting into a lucrative phenomenon known as internet fame.

The film hails from filmmaker Christopher Landon, known for helming the "Happy Death Day" films, and the criminally under-appreciated comedic-slasher "Freaky." This time, Landon's stepping back from horror and further into the realm of comedy with a supernatural thriller that's suitable for the whole family. Written and directed by Landon,...
