Aroview: A big-budget Hollywood hootenanny made in Miramar and starring Lyttleton harbour, this is a must-see for any self-respecting patriot. More a fantasy-comedy than horror pic, it's a ghost-train ride packed with quirky flourishes and comic invention that shamefully got lost on Stateside audiences.
Average rating (Very Good). Showing 1-3 of 3 member reviews.
4 stars (Very Good) Very enjoyable, but the plot isn't exactly brilliant. There are still easily enough frights to keep you entertained. Michael J Fox is always fun to watch. ~dr.strangelove
4 stars (Very Good) ~Wyatt Earp
3 stars (Good Enough) The serviceable special effects are a major reason for the enjoyability of the film. Although it is probably a touch long for the material its "don't take me seriously" attitude stays the course. ~Tubbs
