The Frighteners
Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his "special" gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.
The Frighteners blends supernatural horror with comedy, fantasy, and mystery. Ghostly threats are present and scary moments occur, but the overall tone leans into humor and genre-blending rather than delivering horror as the sole or primary identity.
Best for viewers looking for a slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
