I'll need a litle more to go on, some perameters.

Are you shooting film or video? A short or a feature? What locations do you have access to? What effects/make-ups/digi-compositing skill do you or your crew possess? What's the budget? Will everything be "in-camera" or do you have a post facility at your disposal in which you can add effects?

Just want to get a sharper focus.

A good old fashioned dollar bin giallo heavy on the Karo syrup is a good bet on a microbudget, as are ghost stories. In a ghost story, you can convey a lot without showing much of anything, which is a nice luxury for a filmmaker. It's also good because you get to scare people atmospherically instead of with effects.

No call for that. You asked for help, you got criticism. If you cannot deal with criticism, you will certainly fail. And I happen to agree with Return.
