A couple finds the apartment of their dreams- the problem i it's haunted by an evil ghost.
This well made horror comedy not only is a well done horror film but a pointed look at life in New York City. Playing it largely close to real the film pulls us in. While the film can be occasionally silly, the film is largely the sort of funny that doesn't kill the chills.
That the film works thanks to the cast headed by Sally Struthers and Jennifer Leigh Houston who sell the madness.
To be honest, I had no plans to watch the film, but a slot opened up in festival coverage and I decided to give the film a shot... and I was surprised and after the Psycho opening, the film pulls it back and we end up with a spot on look at life in NYC. I was enchanted because I know people like them.
What I like about the scary stuff is that it doesn't follow the typical path. There is all this shading that we get that makes this not your daddy's haunting.
I had a good time with this
