I loved Robert Zemeckis films like back to the future, Peter jackson for directing "rings", danny elfman for his great musical scores like batman and who doesn't like Michael J Fox. But as much as I tried, I just couldn't like this film,it tries too hard to be a jack of all trades rather than to be a master of one.Its not funny enough to be a sci-fi comedy-hit like Ghostbusters was and its not scary enough to be even labeled suspenseful, let alone a horror. And because of its forced comedic element and uneven story,it can't be called a drama. I know I'm disagreeing with the majority on here but it was a mess for me, I couldn't get into it,I didn't know whether I should be taking it seriously or viewing it as a fantasy,either way it didn't work for me.
