September 25, 2014Pre-Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson was an indomitable genius. Everything he made was brilliant. From 'Bad Taste' and 'Meet the Feebles' to 'Dead Alive', 'Heavenly Creatures', and 'Forgotten Silver'. 'The Frighteners' is absolutely no exception. A masterpiece of a fun horror film, 'The Frighteners' has everything I need in a movie. Michael J. Fox stars as Frank Bannister, a paranormal investigator who actually has the ability to communicate with ghosts and uses his special skills to con people out of money. When people start dying around town, Frank eventually finds out that it is the work of a long-dead serial killer (Jake Busey) who, along with his accomplice (Dee Wallace), is continuing his life's work to rack up the body count. Seriously, this movie is unbelievably awesome. If you haven't seen it, the only person you are hurting is yourself.
