Review

 

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 centre 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 saw this film several years ago and was highly entertained by it. There was plenty of good special effects, off the wall humor, a freaky storyline, and cool characters. This movie is as entertaining as it gets.- A modern day horror/ adventure/ comedy that holds your attention for the full two hours. This is an underrated movie, and a MUST SEE!!!
