The Frighteners
An architect named Frank Panister, a brilliant man, passes by himself as a person capable of exorcism. Frank will do a great job when Satanic spirit appears, and perhaps he is the only person who can prevent her from killing the living and the dead in a terrible way. Frank's life changes when he begins that exciting task that threatens the lives of everyone who fears the emergence of that evil spirit.

Despite being awful in almost every respect, The Frighteners does offer one small pleasure: R. Lee Ermey parodying his Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant character.

An incredibly underrated scare-comedy from Peter Jackson that deserves a much wider audience.
January 01, 2000
An object lesson in what to avoid when making the transition from low-budget films to studio productions.

Woulda been five stars, but the cop-out ending smacks of the test-screening process.
December 15, 2010
Violent, frenzied, foul-mouthed ghost comedy.
March 18, 2003
Quirky Peter Jackson film that's half comedy and half horror/gore-fest. Mostly enjoyable results, although Fox a bit miscast.

At times the relentless special effects and tangled plotting veer towards visual and narrative overkill, but the final tonal swerve is shocking and effective.

It actually works up till its last few minutes.
January 01, 2000
A mess with sporadic flashes of creativity.

The actors can't keep the film's mood from verging on hysteria as the story roams all over the map. "The Frighteners" has flitted everywhere, even to heaven and hell, before it's over.

Story was originally conceived as an episode of "Tales From the Crypt," and that is perhaps what it should have remained, as the thinness of the conceit shows throughout, painfully so in the first half.

Fortunately director Jackson, at home with all kinds of excess, keeps everything spinning nicely, not even losing a step when the mood turns increasingly disturbing.
