Review

Jackson proves once again that he's an original with this horror/suspense/private eye/love story/serial killer/ghost comedy. Fox is Frank Bannister, a con man ghost-hunter who has the unique power to see the dearly departed. He stumbles into the middle of a series of murders being committed by a ghastly apparition only he can see. Able to determine who will be next on this soultaker's list, he decides to use his gift to stop the malevolent spirit when a beautiful young widow (Alvarado) shows up with a number on her head.

Exhilarating from start to finish, The Frighteners features terrific computer-generated special effects and is a brilliant fusion of comedy and horror, alternately hilarious and downright shocking.

Not for all tastes, but highly recommended for fans of Jackson and for those looking for something definitely different.
