| User ReviewDennis FI loved it - the ghost inhabiting the body of a movie dummy - is a great gimic - he is just plain funny - the plot is a bit thin - but I enjoyed watching this by myself, then again with a friend. The gadgets in the house of one of the characters is also fantastic, as in Back to the Future - the acting overall was solid - a fun movie to watch for an evenings entertainment. |
| User ReviewLuigi MI used to watch this at least once a week as a kid and can probably still remember it word for word. Dont know if it ever made it to dvd, but the soundtrack is amazing and the 'haunted house' aspect of the film was thrillnig as a kid. I hope this is available for download, fingers crossed.............. |
| User ReviewBen MAhh, remember this from my childhood., renting this from the video shop. its a crazy film..awful effects and was quite sad really ( watching the old Butler dying after bricking up those walls..Sheesh). No idea it was an Emmerich film, going to have to re watch at some point). |
| User ReviewRob MTypical 80's kitch though the puppet monster butler is well done. It's predictable and a little dodgy in places, but fabulously cult |
| User ReviewBill MStarring Jason Lively from such gems as Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever and Night of the Creeps and Paul Gleason comes Ghost Chase. The story of a dude who was stiffed out of his inheritance because his grandfather walled himself up in the basement of his opulent house and then offed the butler who helped him do it. Then decades later, the grandson awakens the ghost of the butler who helps them track down the house and the cash! I started watching this with my brother and then fell asleep through the ending and took it back like 6-7 years ago. I just found it again last week and boy is it every bit as weird as I remember. It's a bit charming though and strangely funny in spots. Plus it was directed by Roland Emmerich who went on to make The Patriot so it's funny to think about his humble beginnings. It's worth seeing once. |
| User ReviewJames HSilly 1980's teen adventure film, with a ghost that is a major rip-off of the alien in E.T. It's pretty bad but not without a few entertaining moments. Not very original. |
