Frighteners 09/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

Disc 1 contains the theatrical cut (110 min) and the director's cut (123 min) of The Frighteners, with an audio commentary by Peter Jackson on the director's cut, Peter Jackson's 10th anniversary introduction, and the theatrical trailer. Before The Lord of the Rings made him a household name, Peter Jackson delivered The Frighteners, a wildly inventive blend of supernatural horror and dark comedy, produced by Robert Zemeckis, that cemented his reputation as one of the most imaginative filmmakers of his generation. Michael J. Fox stars as Frank Bannister, a small-town psychic who uses his ghostly friends to con unsuspecting locals — until a series of mysterious deaths points to a far darker force. Racing to uncover the truth, Frank realizes he is the only person capable of stopping a malevolent spirit from claiming more victims, even if it means facing his own haunted past. As macabre as it is mischievous, the film blends chilling suspense with offbeat humor and groundbreaking visual effects.
