I've always loved The Frighteners since I saw it in the theater in 96, and remember being surprised watching this by their strongly negative reaction.

I saw it when I was 12 in theaters, loved it then but only watched it here and there since. It can be fun Peter Jackson cheese at times but I don’t think it holds up that great.

Me too. So when I heard Peter Jackson was making LOTR I honestly thought that is perfect your going to need someone weird to make it.

I started watching these guys in 1976 on PBS when I was 12. I slowly stopped watching after Gene die, it just wasn't the same. What I loved about them is they brought to light small films, or foreign films you never would have heard of. 3 of my favorite films I found because of them. "One False Move", "Duma", "The Boy Who Could Fly". There were a lot of movies I loved and they hated, but I always loved hearing their point of view. R.I.P. Boys.

Siskel's different idea for the movie, where Shaq plays himself and acts as a de facto Genie to a street kid, actually sounds like a rich premise, but alas, we live in the darkest timeline.

I've always enjoyed Multiplicity. I think the guys (and a lot of critics at the time) were a little hard on it, especially because it was seen as Harold Ramis' follow up to Groundhog Day. It may not be the classic that that film is, but it's still a very funny, charming and entertaining film that is well executed, with Keaton in top form (as usual). Thanks for posting this video. Your channel is awesome!

Ahhhh, back in my twenties when I used to really get out there. I saw The Frighteners in Canada, Fled in Peru, and Multiplicity on an international flight. I liked them all. The Frighteners was interesting to me at the time because it’s Michael J. Fox in a horror film directed by the guy who made Dead Alive. This was a very intriguing combination at that time. Still is.

I saw The Frighteners opening weekend the summer of 1996 when I was 16yo, and while I was watching it, I knew I was in the hands of a master (Peter Jackson) and that I had never seen a movie quite like this before. At that age, whenever I saw something I liked, I always waited for the end credits to see who the director was. When I saw the name Peter Jackson, I turned to one of my friends and stated "I have to see more of this guy's movies. He has such an interesting style. He is going to be something" I went home that evening, and before everyone had internet and google and imdb, I picked up a copy of Entertainment Weekly and read their review (B+), and saw that they referenced Jackson's previous movie Heavenly Creatures and how it was like "A slasher film set inside the Secret Garden". I was ecstatic. Went to Blockbuster, rented Heavenly Creatures, and was mesmerized. As a 16yo film buff I was overcome with joy and pleasure that I had just discovered a new director I could watch a back catalogue of and discover his up coming works, all the while recognizing his style and vision throughout each picture and how he used his personal vision to see the story. He was a complete auteur. The rest is history: look where Jackson is today.

He was interesting in his early years. Like Christopher Nolan, he just became a bloated Hollywood bore when he started taking on larger projects.

Anyone noticed 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy in the walls special effect looks exactly like 1996 Frighteners ghost in the wall? Just another reason of many why that was the worst horror remake imo.

Multiplicity is okay but it feels like a late 80s comedy movie. The Nutty Professor remake felt like a 1996 comedy movie.

I think The Frighteners has developed a cult following after the Lord of the Rings make Peter Jackson a household name, but I actually agree with the critics. The Frighteners is easily one of my least favorite of Jackson's movies, along with King Kong and the lamentable Hobbit trilogy.

Frighteners looks weird, Kazaam looks fine for a kids afternoon TV film but that's it. Stephen Baldwin, I probably think is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. He almost destroyed Usual Suspects.
