For Frank Bannister death is a great way to make a living: ridding houses of their unwelcome "guests". But as it happens, 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 and terrible mystery. A diabolical spirit is on a murderous rampage, and the whole town of Fairwater believes that Frank is behind it. Desperate to find the true culprit and exorcise his own personal demons, frank crosses the ultimate barrier into a shadowy realm where even death can't stop a killer.
This is a roller-coaster ride from beginning to end, filled with creepy and demented humour for those of us who crave a little more than "I know what you did last summer". If "The Lord of the rings" is anything as good as Jackson's previous work we're in for a real treat.
Investigation finished: 2001-01-24
Story: 9/10 - Peter Jackson takes familiar scares and freshens them up, making them enjoyable again.
Acting: 7/10 - I never thought I would say this, but Michael J.Fox is actually very good. Jeffrey Combs stars as a psycopath, surprise surprise.
Violence: 3/10 - Peter Jackson has toned down the splatter for this one, but it's still huge fun.
Nudity: 0/10 - J. Fox gets to keep his clothes on, thank god!
Coolness: 10/10 - Very tounge-in-cheek filled with weirdness galore and cheap laughs.
F/X: 10/10 - Spectacular effects, I loved the grim reaper floating over Fairwater households. Tim Burton Favourite Danny Elfman provides the excellent score.
