In The Frighteners, director Peter Jackson delivers a unique blend of horror, comedy, and supernatural thrills.

The film centers on Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox), a down-on-his-luck psychic investigator who has the unusual ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He uses this gift to con people into hiring him for “haunting removals,” accompanied by his quirky team of spirits, each with their own distinct personalities.

But Frank’s world takes a dark turn when a malevolent, unseen entity begins killing people in his town, leaving behind a trail of ghostly victims. As Frank investigates, he discovers a terrifying connection between these deaths and his own tragic past. With the help of the ghost of a detective (Jeffrey Combs) and the beautiful widow, Lucy (Trini Alvarado), Frank races against time to stop a vengeful spirit that’s far more dangerous than he could have imagined.

The Frighteners blends eerie supernatural elements with sharp humor, creating an atmosphere that keeps audiences both laughing and on edge. The film’s thrilling story is filled with twists, as Frank’s quest to uncover the truth uncovers secrets that threaten not only his life but the very fabric of reality itself. With Jackson’s trademark visual style and a standout performance from Michael J. Fox, The Frighteners remains a cult classic that keeps viewers hooked from start to finish.
