I spent the last week trying to remember the title of the film... it definitely qualifies as a Mindbender: The Frighteners (Peter Jackson, 1996(?)) Link: http://www.hollywood.com/movies/frighteners/ Dave's Three-Sentence-Synopsis: "Ghostbuster sees things no-one else can see. Is he a crazy murderer after all? Or do these rather improbable ghosts really exist?" Dave's Four-Paragraph-Synopsis: Michael J. Fox plays a "Ghostbuster" - he gained the ability to see ghosts at a particularly nasty car accident where something murdered his wife. He lives in an old house, water leaking through the roof, and using some friendly ghosts to acquirte customers. When several murders occur in the community, the Sherriff's attention immediately moves onto the 'ghost freak' - well, there had not been enough evidence to convict him of murder after the car accident, but this time the Sherriff knows he has his guy. Seeing ghosts? The guy must be psycho. MJ Fox is captured; in prison, he goes through a period on intense self-doubt. Are the ghosts real? Did he murder all these people? Though there are clues as to which reality is the 'true' one, neither he (nor, I think, the audience; though some friends of mine disagreed, but they watched the movie stoned) knows for certain at that point in the film... But this girl believes in him, and he flees from prison to destroy evil (he thinks) or go on a murder spree (the FBI version). Some of the scenes are explicitly connected to the question of "Which Reality?" - in the prison, for example, when the main character doubts his own sanity; or when the rather (er) unconventional FBI guy confronts the Hero just before the mission's success, and tells him that he _knows_ what is going on in the MJF character's brain, what he's going to say, that he's seen cases like this before... Hope it helps... I highly recommend this film, but I must admit I'm a fan of Peter Jackson's (er) unconventional (cough) sense of humour. It's _not_ a splatter movie though. david skreiner ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/screensite
