Michael Winner strikes! He managed to take a multitude of talent, pick the wrong ones to star and forget entirely about the script. Nice work.
Plot: A model moves into a converted mansion type building and quickly makes friends with a rather odd fella in a tuxedo (Rocky's coach), a pair of ballet lesbians (yep, really!), a group of demented/elderly women and a black and white cat. While living in the house, she swiftly realises that the inhabitants are in fact all ghosts (I'm not ruining this for you, I'm really not) and starts getting major migraines. In an effort to help her, her boyfriend- Chris Sarandon (The Princess Bride), who's a very successful lawyer, investigates the history of the building- which happens to be owned by the Catholic church.
Long story short (and by God I wish I'd read a few reviews prior to watching this disaster of a film), it sucked. The ending is tapped on to simply finish the film. I'd have been happier if the film just stopped.
Yep, I didn't like it.
Funniest part of the film: Jeff Goldblum's dubbed voice.
Budget: $3,700,000
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: This film could have been excellent, if only the director had stuck to an ad-libbed script and used the future star power at his disposal- Jeff Goldblum (The Fly, Jurassic Park), Christopher Walken (True Romance), Tom Berenger (Major League), Beverly D'Angelo (National Lampoon's), Oscar Winner- Ava Gardener (The Night of the Iguana) and Eli Wallach (every Clint Eastwood western ever made).
