The Frighteners RC1
The Frighteners is one of those little known films that is really quite good and well-made. Michael Fox plays a ghostbuster who actually is a con man, using his three ghosts to whip up business. Add the storyline of an executed serial killer and his quest to amass the biggest body count in history, and you have one whale of a story.
The special effects are very good, and the suspense is buffered with some black comic moments. Jeffrey Combs goes delightfully over the top as the FBI agent hell-bent on getting rid of Fox Trini Alvaredo takes everything so seriously, shes very effective R. Lee Ermey reprises his Full Metal Jacket sergeant as a deadly ghost John Astin of Addams Family is barely recognized as the jaw-dropping judge Jeff Dobson is perfectly awful as the hedonistic husband of Alvaredo Jake Busey is a perfect demented killer and the delightful Dee Wallace Stone is perfect as the rather twisted suspected conspirator of the aforementioned Busey and one cant forget Julianna McCarthy (Snappers mom on Young and the Restless) as Stones seemingly crazed mother.
The movie is a lot of fun, but the opening sequence still baffles me. Dee Wallace Stone runs in terror from a ghost, which is all well and good to start the movie off ferociously, but by the end of the movie, you have to wonder what in the world was going on there?
