On the US opening weekend, the film, which had started with 2,160 copies, grossed 18.1 million US dollars; that is more than seven times the cost of production. By April 16, 2013, he had made 40 million US dollars in North America (USA and Canada) alone.
The film was largely received negatively by critics. Of 53 reviews evaluated on the Rotten Tomatoes meta site , the film received only 9% positive ratings.
"The 'Ghost Movie' staged by Michael Tiddes turns out to be a cleverly designed parade of rough nonsense, malicious jokes, targeted tastelessness and revealing swipes, which is only half as funny as it could have been."
"Parodies of 'Paranormal Activity' and other found footage horror films have too often served as a joke."
"A tired attempt to corrupt the inflationary" found footage "horror, whereby the staging can think of nothing more than to stretch a non-existent plot to the length of a feature film with infantile fecal jokes."
“Infantile would be a compliment here. When it comes to humor, Ghost Movie doesn't go into the bottom drawer, but looks directly under the cupboard and scares you more than all the horror films that it takes on - the fear of a sequel. "
