Overblown and noisy, but a clever comedy ghost story with a serial killer element.
The cast plays it well, with Fox nice and laid back, and the direction keeps the pace and plot bubbling over. One flaw I guess is that the scary reaper is defeated and replaced with a lesser menace well before the final conflict - I'd reserve the best till last. Also the FBI guy is a bit of a plot convenience.
The effects are very good, but one thing that annoyed me is almost every minute is filled with dramatic music. I suppose it was the last fling for '80s cheese so no way to avoid it.
Overall it's a bit long and busy, but amusing and entertaining all the same.
