I think the best explanation surrounding how Anakin's ghost should appear lies in the film's title as "Return of the Jedi" works on a few different metaphorical levels.
The first is that Luke is returning to confront his demons, i.e. his father. He is literally returning to the fight he had to flee from at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back."
The second is Luke is clearing the pathway for the Jedi Order to return, hence the return of the Jedi by definition. Their order is being restored by conquering the Sith.
The third, and probably the strongest implication of the title is the return of Anakin Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker is the quintessential Jedi of the Skywalker Saga. Anakin Skywalker, the good man who was Luke’s father, returns. The film is "Return of the Jedi," and we see the hero, Anakin, return to his former glory in the final sequence of the film. Seeing him appear as an older man, in a manner in which he never looked, free of disfigurement, makes far less sense.

Pretty creepy British horror film and it takes a lot to creep me out, watch it with headphones on if you can, preferably in the dark.
The last 15 minutes are intense.

Is this a remake of the 2007 movie "Borderland" or something completely different.

Million Dollar Arm (2014) - A sports agent stages an unconventional recruitment strategy to get talented Indian cricket players to play Major League Baseball.
Being a Disney movie, it's scrubbed clean of any grit. I'd give it a lower rating, but I like Jon Hamm and I like baseball. 6/10

The last four posts were bickering and talking about structuring a sentence.
