This one got deleted too. UGH!
So, I think I said something about liking the funny take on ghost-busting. Michael J Fox sees ghosts and has some ghost-friends who haunt homes until the owners call him to "exorcise" them. Good stuff, and it's going well, until a bad-ass ghost of a former serial killer shows up and starts ticking off people around Michael J Fox, one by one. He sees a number appear on their forehead and then... they die. Of course, he always seems to be around somehow, leading police to suspect him.
Aaaaaaand there's a creepy old lady with a sketchy past who's helping him out. Creepy.
This one's not really a horror movie, it's more a blend of genres and probably closer to a light paranormal comedy than anything else. Not bad, but not particularly riveting either.
