Critic Reviews of "The Frighteners"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009Story was originally conceived as an episode of "Tales From the Crypt," and that is perhaps what it should have remained, as the thinness of the conceit shows throughout, painfully so in the first half.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006At times the relentless special effects and tangled plotting veer towards visual and narrative overkill, but the final tonal swerve is shocking and effective.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The actors can't keep the film's mood from verging on hysteria as the story roams all over the map. "The Frighteners" has flitted everywhere, even to heaven and hell, before it's over.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Fortunately director Jackson, at home with all kinds of excess, keeps everything spinning nicely, not even losing a step when the mood turns increasingly disturbing.
San Francisco ChronicleJanuary 01, 2000An object lesson in what to avoid when making the transition from low-budget films to studio productions.
USA TodayJanuary 01, 2000A mess with sporadic flashes of creativity.
Common Sense MediaDecember 15, 2010Violent, frenzied, foul-mouthed ghost comedy.
Fantastica DailyJanuary 23, 2006Despite being awful in almost every respect, The Frighteners does offer one small pleasure: R. Lee Ermey parodying his Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant character.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)December 04, 2003It actually works up till its last few minutes.
KFOR Channel 4 NewsJuly 14, 2003An incredibly underrated scare-comedy from Peter Jackson that deserves a much wider audience.
eFilmCritic.comMarch 18, 2003Quirky Peter Jackson film that's half comedy and half horror/gore-fest. Mostly enjoyable results, although Fox a bit miscast.
New TimesMarch 07, 2003Woulda been five stars, but the cop-out ending smacks of the test-screening process.
