Peter Jackson directs Michael J. Fox as a "ghost buster" who is in over his head in this special-effects-packed supernatural chiller that's so fiendishly entertaining, it's frightening!

This film is a classic if only for the tribute scene to full metal jacket. Fox is suitable cast as the hero of the tale. The script is amusing, scary and brilliant. Great film.
