GHOSTS
With Anthony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lilliard, F. Murray
Abraham
Directed by Steve Beck
If MTV horror is your bag o' bones,
then look no further. After the death of an eccentric, his nephew (who's down
on his luck with two kids after his wife tragically died in a house fire) inherits
his house. Thinking it's the answer to their prayers, they are in fact part of
the ludicrous scheme to set an evil mechanism in motion. This is just too ridiculous,
from the elaborate house to the glasses that make ghosts visible. The wide spook
variety is fun, but dumb. The biggest star here is the elaborate house with its
glass walls and ancient writing sandblasted onto it; the design is magnificent,
but the story and performances pathetic. Even the poster design outdoes this one.
