Description

Michael J. Fox stars in this horror comedy co-written and directed by Peter Jackson. Frank Bannister (Fox) is a psychic investigator in the town of Fairwater who is aided by three friendly ghosts who create supernatural disturbances for him to 'solve'.

However, when Frank begins to see numbers carved into the foreheads of people who subsequently die as a result of a bizarre heart failure, he realises that an evil spirit is causing the deaths. As the last person to be seen near the victims, Frank becomes a suspect in the eyes of eccentric federal agent Milton Dammers (Jeffrey Combs) - especially when it is revealed that Frank's own wife died some years previously in mysterious circumstances.
