“The Frighteners” (1996), directed by Peter Jackson, blends horror and dark comedy in a tale about Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox), a troubled psychic investigator who communicates with the dead.
After a series of mysterious deaths in a small town, Frank discovers that a malevolent spirit, known as the Grim Reaper, is causing the deaths to feed on the fear of the living.
As Frank teams up with an eccentric group of ghosts to unravel the mystery, he must confront his own traumatic past and battle the sinister force threatening the living.
The film masterfully mixes supernatural thrills with a touch of humor, exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and the thin line between life and death.
