Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
An incredibly underrated scare-comedy from Peter Jackson that deserves a much wider audience.
KFOR Channel 4 News
Rating: 4/5 --
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.

Violent, frenzied, foul-mouthed ghost comedy.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 3/10 --
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.
Fantastica Daily
Rating: 3/5 --
It actually works up till its last few minutes.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 3/5 --
Full of special effects, but still strangely 'indie', the movie has a unique sensibility ...

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.

Product Description:
When his hometown is struck by a series of mysterious deaths that appears to be the work of a malicious supernatural killer, a psychic investigator who is able to communicate with the dead attempts to get to the bottom of things and put a stop to the murders. But even with the help of three ghostly friends, he soon discovers that defeating the deadly fiend is a task much easier said than done. With its mix of humor and suspense, THE FRIGHTENERS is spooky good fun from cult horror director Peter Jackson.
