    A fun trip

    When I started off watching this I underestimated it greatly. The movie itself was very well made and while it may not appeal to some, I'd definitely recommend this to someone who's just bored and needs to pass time. But still. It was pretty good.

    Much funnier in the first 40 minutes...

    ...then the entire movie ended up being. It kind of ended up being drawn out and not funny and a little too wacky. If the movie would have stuck with its humorous beginning and stayed like that throughout it would have been a much better watch.

    watchable low budget comedy horror

    Okish. not bad. low budget. ok direction. nice effort. thanks.

    Ordinary and tiring

    A watchable mystery that tends to drag but is well acted, most of the time. Some guy can see dead guys and while helping a dead cop uncover who killed him he encounters some strange people and some weird stuff happens. Yes, the comedy is a bit flat but it does keep it light. More a TV movie really.

    Enjoyable fun story

    A little bit Hot Fuzz, a little bit Frighteners, a little bit its own thing. Amusing. Relied far more on story than effects, which is what often makes low budget movies superior.

    And the mid-credit scene was just sweet, and a good resolution.
