The Frighteners
Directed by Peter Jackson
Frank Bannister heeft na een auto-ongeluk een bijzondere gave gekregen. Hij kan namelijk geesten zien. Hij sluit een dealtje met een paar geesten, waardoor zij bij iemand thuis gaan spoken en Bannister ze tegen betaling wel even komt wegjagen. Als er opeens op bovennatuurlijke wijze allemaal mensen worden vermoord, is Bannister één van de hoofdverdachten.
Where to Watch The Frighteners
- Jean Sean3 mei 2026First saw this movie in elementary school. Rewatched it and it's still kicks ass. Even though the CGI shows its age on some parts, it holds up extremely well. The actors that play the antagonists are so god damn creepy that any time I see them in any other films, it's hard to shake the image of the absolute psychopaths they play in this movie. It's fun, scary, weird and makes me wish we got more Michael J Fox (damn you Parkinson's)
- GBWest1 november 2025The Frighteners is a fun comedy, action, horror. Michael J Fox brings the energy. Yes, he is a charlatan, taking advantage of his ability to communicate with the dead. However, when he comes across something odd he tries to donthe right thing, even when it causes more trouble for himself. This movie was supposed to be a Tales From The Crypt movie and took on a life of its own. That much is obvious when the story gets rolling. You'll laugh and cheer for the hero to save the day.
- Zokkiie2 april 2026This movie is a total hidden gem—funny, a little creepy, and full of that weird charm that lingers. The visuals are inventive, the pacing never drags, and the humor lands just right. Definitely one of those films that’s way more memorable than most give it credit for. It’s a cult classic for a reason, and honestly, highly underrated—once you watch it, it sticks with you in the best way.
