Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
[Michael J.] Fox seems to be trying to get hip in the movies, and he's lost his way here.
Full Review
Chicago Tribune
4 stars out of 5 -- Eccentric, muddled and CGI heavy; Jackson's Hollywood debut still manages to look like a cult classic.
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
It actually works up till its last few minutes.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Jackson's first Hollywood outing is a smash-and-grab horror-comedy....The ectoplasmic effects have aged fairly well...
Sight and Sound
Story 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.
Variety
[A]s the filmmaker points out, THE FRIGHTENERS represents a major turning point in his career. This was the first time that Mr. Jackson worked for a Hollywood studio, cast a major star and made extensive use of computer-generated imagery...
New York Times
...Everything-goes....Consistently witty and often lewd and rude... -- Rating: B+

Product Description:
When his hometown is struck by a series of mysterious deaths that appears to be the work of a malicious supernatural killer, a psychic investigator who is able to communicate with the dead attempts to get to the bottom of things and put a stop to the murders. But even with the help of three ghostly friends, he soon discovers that defeating the deadly fiend is a task much easier said than done. With its mix of humor and suspense, THE FRIGHTENERS is spooky good fun from cult horror director Peter Jackson.
