The Frighteners [Limited Edition] [4K Ultra HD]

After a car accident that kills his wife, a man discovers he can communicate with the dead. DEAD YET? Before The Lord of the Rings made him a household name, Peter Jackson delivered The Frighteners - a wildly inventive blend of supernatural horror and dark comedy. Produced by Robert Zemeckis, it cemented Jackson's reputation as one of the most imaginative filmmakers of his generation. Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future) stars as Frank Bannister, a small-town psychic who uses his ghostly friends to con unsuspecting locals - until a series of mysterious deaths points to a far darker force. Racing to uncover the truth, Frank realizes he's the only person capable of stopping a malevolent spirit from claiming more victims... even if it means facing his own haunted past. As macabre as it is mischievous, The Frighteners blends chilling suspense with offbeat humor and groundbreaking visual effects. Stylish, spooky, and full of heart, this cult classic continues to thrill from beyond the grave.
