Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.

"A great comedy horror about a man who can see ghosts of those who have passed on and a town with mysterious deaths of those who suddenly, as he begins to see a thread of the mystery when he is called to a haunting! Worth watching as the past of the town comes to light, as well as the accident that made him able to see ghosts!"

"One of my favorites!"

"An entertaining movie that quickly written as a movie wasn’t sure if it a comedy or serious Horror.
Roger Ebert even gave the film one star. Not knowing what genre is definitely doesn’t make the film bad. The film has nice effects for it’s time and makes a fine mystery too. "

"The title is a little misleading. It's Michael J. Fox using ghosts to scam people until things get serious."

"The movie that made me want to live in a haunted house when I was young. I'm incredibly sentimental about it. Every part is cast to perfection. Jeffery Combs' best role, fight me Reanimator fans!"
