There’s a dreamlike logic to Colin West’s second feature (after the promising but not-quite-there Double Walker) which invites viewers to step back from the puzzle with which they are presented and absorb other forms of meaning. In light of this, its slighty too obvious central conceit becomes not a challenge, not another twee twist, but a framework through which to explore ideas about personal identity and the search for meaning, as well as delivering gentle comedy. There’s a warmth underlying it all which doubtless contributed to the affection with which it was received on the festival circuit.
The story focuses on the character of Cameron (Jim Gaffigan), the fiftysomething presenter of a once popular educational science programme now shifted to the midnight slot. The familiar routine of his life is disrupted when, as he is cycling home one day, he is narrowly missed by a red sports car when falls out.

If you were given the choice to live one last day as a human or forever as a ghost, which would you choose? In Double Walker, the film’s main character chooses the latter. Simply credited as Ghost, she speaks of meeting two dark figures who present her with these two choices as though it were a dream. Played by the up-and-comer Sylvie Mix—who co-wrote the film with director Colin West—Ghost suddenly awakens and finds herself back home. Angry and confused over her death, she finds comfort sitting next to her mother on the couch, despite being unseen. The bond between this mother and her child is stitched throughout and presented strongly, and it helps that the mother is played by Mix’s own (Maika Carter). In attempting to learn the truth of what happened to her, the theme of domestic violence and the lingering effect it has...

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
Double Walker (Colin West)
If one is looking for some post-Halloween chills, Colin West’s micro-budget ghost story Double Walker mostly fits the bill, albeit with a few stumbles. Approaching the supernatural with a more grounded feel akin to Paul Harrill’s Light From Light and David Lowery’s A Ghost Story, the film tracks a woman in specter form (a stand-out Sylvie Mix) who tracks down those responsible for her murder. While the production’s limitations can be painfully clear at times, with flat cinematography and flashbacks that feel far too on the nose, the film eventually coheres into a compelling look at the sins of humankind and what may come after death.

The saying goes that there are no atheists in a foxhole. I would probably disagree, but I can see the point, as I could understand anyone perhaps trying to bargain their way out of death, or, at least if they weren't prepared for their death, striking a deal that in hindsight, was a bad idea. The idea of everlasting life, with serious consequences, has been explored with interest, as it's quite a philosophical conundrum: would you take just one more day as a human, with the ability to close all your affairs, or would you prefer to live forever, but as a ghost? Filmmaker Colin West and co-writer Sylvie Mix take this conuncrum under investigation in Double Walker, a stripped-down ghost story about one woman's...

If you were given a choice, live one last day as a human, or forever as a ghost, which would you choose? That's a heck of a question to contemplate. Likely in the moment, most of us wouldn't want to die. But the prospect of living forever is not appetizing. Filmmaker Colin West asks us to contemplate this question in his new feature Double Walker, which presents this strange tale through the eyes of someone who did, indeed, make the latter choice. A young Ghost (producer/co-writer Sylvie Mix) haunts her cold Midwestern hometown, trying to piece together the horrific flashes of memories from her past. One by one she kills the men she believes were responsible for her death, though her plan is derailed when...
