The Frighteners Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

Dead yet?

Before The Lord of the Rings trilogy redefined fantasy cinema, Peter Jackson unleashed The Frighteners—a wildly imaginative supernatural horror-comedy that showcased the filmmaker’s unique blend of macabre humour, inventive storytelling and groundbreaking visual effects.

Michael J. Fox stars as Frank Bannister, a small-town psychic who uses his ghostly companions to scam unsuspecting residents until a string of gruesome deaths reveals a genuinely evil supernatural force. As the body count rises, Frank must confront both a terrifying spirit and the ghosts of his own past to stop an unstoppable killer. Produced by Robert Zemeckis, The Frighteners remains a cult classic that effortlessly balances scares, laughs and heartfelt emotion.
