Description

In the sleepy little town of Fairwater, a monstrous evil has awakened...an evil so powerful, its reach extends beyond the grave. Director Peter Jackson and Executive Producer Robert Zemeckis unleash a riveting thriller with the most spectacular special effects this side of the hereafter. For Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox), death is a great way to make a living: ridding haunted houses of their "unwelcome" guests. But he's in cahoots with the very ghosts he promises to evict! It's the perfect scam...until Frank finds himself at the center of a dark mystery. A diabolical spirit is on a murderous rampage, and the whole town believes Frank is behind it. Boasting music by Danny Elfman and co-starring Trini Alvarado, Jeffrey Combs and John Astin, this supernatural chiller is so fiendishly entertaining, it's scary!

    I got this film as it was Directed by Peter Jackson and I love LOTR. Not knowing what to expect with this film, I can honestly say I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! As previously stated, a great cast and a great story and great directing makes this an unmissable film. I agree, it's not exactly a scary horror film nor is it a comedy, but it's interesting storyline makes for great watching. Just buy it, you'll watch it again and again!
  • Good

    This is one of my favourite films, and I'm suprised that so many people have never heard of it. Everyone seems to have heard of Peter Jackson, but because of his superb LOTR trilogy, and rightly so. However, I also think this is a superb film with an excellent cast and brilliant performances from everyone involved. I've seen it many times and am yet to get bored of it. I would recommend this film to anyone.
