About this movie

Peter Jackson directs Michael J. Fox as a "ghost buster" who is in over his head in this special-effects-packed supernatural chiller that's so fiendishly entertaining, it's frightening!

The Frighteners does a good job of blending the comedy and horror genres, mostly by keeping the majority of the former in the first half of the film, and by making the humour that does appear in the later stages be more and more dark and twisted. The overall result is pretty solidly entertaining, though there are a couple of minor plot issues that you need to hand-wave away, and the final victory is a bit too neat and tidy for my tastes.

Enjoyed it, although it was a bit deferent from what I was expecting. I hadn't known Michael J. Fox would be in it, which was a nice surprise since I rather like his acting.
