Ghost Wars Episodes 1-3 Reviews: Good Enough To Keep Me Coming Back


"Ghost Wars" is one of the newest SyFy offerings. A small town in Alaska suffers some sort of earthquake. This is not your run of the mill natural disaster though. The incidence causes a bus to careen off a cliff. Incidentally, this is the exact same thing that happened in the opening of "The Returned". Everyone on the bus dies except for Roman Mercer. However the tremor has also awoken the dead. And they're an angry bunch. They cause a number of hallucinations among the living (which often leaves them dead as well).  



Since the town is on an island and the bridge is out, there is no escape. Luckily Roman (the town outcast) has some psychic abilities and tries to figure out what is occurring. We later learn that the tremor was caused by a test-gone-bad at a nearby research facility. Everyone there experiences hallucinations as well.   

The show has some heavy hitting actors including: Vince D'Onofrio, Kim Coates, and Meat Loaf. You'll also recognize Luvia Petersen from "Continuum" and Kandyse McClure from "Hemlock Grove". In fact, "Ghost Wars" has a bit of a "Hemlock Grove" vibe going on--with it's whistling intro and mysterious town folk.I kinda except a werewolf or vampire to pop up any second. 


Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). Is "Ghost Wars" the best thing I've ever seen? Nope. But it is good enough to keep me coming back. I'm hoping the mythology and character relationships will expand in the future. Thus far, "Ghost Wars" is better than SyFy's other new offering-- "Superstition".
