Harrison Ford This film got so-so reviews when it was in theaters, but it also made megabucks too. Reviewers called it "generic, it tries to be more than one movie and fails." True, it was more than one movie but, who wanted to see a half an hour of ghost talk? I think it need more than one storyline and, it definitely worked. When Claire Spencer begins seeing ghosts and hearing whispering in her home-her hubby Norman thinks she's just imagining it. She suspects it's her neighbor's ghost who may/may not be dead. Claire soon finds out a terrible secret and she must come face to face with her fears.(**Note:I got most of that sypnosis from the back of the cover because I didn't feel like making one up right now** I first saw this movie opening night and it scared me crapless! I jumped about 7 times along with the rest of the audience. I think it is a smart, creepy, cool movie with tons of action and a cool ending. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford are perfectly cast and give a really great performance. I do have a few minor complaints. The pace in the movie is a little slow. If we aren't scared we're usually bored (It's not that boring but a few points are Fast Forwardable). I also didn't like Claire's comic relief friend very much. And finally, the movie's damn trailer gave a few of the most important points in the movie! I would check this movie out on a stormy night when your all alone at home. I don't think it's a good movie to watch with a big group of friends though. It was probably the scariest movie of 2000, so you might wanna check it out! Where is Horror whore coming from?
