(Or, as Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide puts it, 'definitely not for all tastes but a wild time for those who get into it.') Michael J. Fox plays a psychic investigator who can actually see ghosts, and lives with a trio of undead spirits who scare people to promote Fox's ghost-busting business. In a town infamous for serial killings, a new series of deaths prompts Fox to induce his own out-of-body experience so he can battle death in a spirit-plagued netherworld where evil reigns supreme--or something like that. So much happens in this chaotic film that you might feel like you're watching several movies at once--a slasher pic, a supernatural thriller, and a black comedy all rolled into a nonstop showcase for grisly makeup and a dozen varieties of special effects. It's an odd but wildly inventive film from New Zealand director Peter Jackson, who earned critical acclaim for his previous film Heavenly Creatures and would later create the ingenious pseudo-documentary Forgotten Silver. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com: One movie lover's nightmare is another's raucous joyride, and this special effects-laden horror comedy is bound to split both camps right down the middle.

I saw a small part of this movie on tv and stopped right away because I wanted to see it all. I looked everywhere trying to find it. Due to the age of the movie online was my only option. This movie is wonderful. I'm normally not into 'scary' movies. This movie has such a wonderful balance of fun and scary, it is a MUST SEE! Rating: - A great movie for the kids... Yet another horror movie in which I found little redeeming value, despite universally positive reviews...The Frighteners. This is another movie that attempts to tackle the near impossible task of successfully fusing horror and comedy, and as with most others of its kind, I felt it failed quite miserably. Strongly lacking in horror, jokes that range from tacky to just plain goofy, and jam packed some of the cheesiest CGI you've ever laid eyes on, I'm stunned at the overall 4.5 star rating. ...

Some sligthly scary and mostly amusing parts as Michael J. Fox (Spin City, Back to the Future, Family Ties, etc.) tries to earn a living pretending to eliminate spirits from homes. He has the advantage of three spirits working for him. Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Bad Taste, etc.) was instrumental in directing, co-writing, and co-producing this movie. The movie is a rollercoaster moving almost non-stop as Fox realizes he is ... Read More Rating: - Peter Jackson Rules!!! Great Movie! Great Actors! and Peter Jackson Rules!!!
