Our poor hero just wants a house. His father never could hold to a place for them to live and he wants to make right on that. He finds what should be a dream home, great view, excellent interior. Oh, and an angry apparition.
It seems that what ever lives in this house wants him gone. Most people would say 'see ya' and be done with it, but he can't. He has to honor his fathers dying wish.
*Spoiler Alert* The film works better in the first half, when we witness our hero being repeatedly beaten and abused by inanimate objects. His rants to the local police are pure comedy and his interaction with the town folk are equally humorous. However, at around the half-way mark he gains the ability to see the ghost in question. Most of the conflict is lost at that point, so the film introduces a new adversary to both the man and the spirit which forces them to work together, but it never really plays out. The movie loses it's footing and never regains it. Too bad.
This would have been an excellent horror-comedy, but as is it's just a decent time waster.
7/10
