Synopsis for
The Frighteners (1996) More at IMDbPro »

This is an entertaining movie starring the lovable Michael J. Fox as the psychic Frank Bannister. Psychic? Well, not in the normal sense that we see them in. He leaves his Architectural business behind, and starts up a ghost-busting business with a twist. He uses his ghost friends to first haunt the place, then comes along and cleans them out! Of course, if that was the only thing going on, it would be boring, but this plot has twists and turns to it, and keeps us going with the ghost stories, love stories, and mystery story twists all wrapped up into an entertaining plot. The beautiful Trini Alvarado plays the psychiatrist trying to deal with some of the happenings and goings on. This is a good family movie. Not for very young children because of the ghosts, killing and so forth, but it is entertaining, good guy, bad guy stuff. Certainly worth the price of a rental, or try to catch it on one of the encore channels where it is now playing.
