Rating: 4/5 --
Fortunately director Jackson, at home with all kinds of excess, keeps everything spinning nicely, not even losing a step when the mood turns increasingly disturbing.

Los Angeles Times
There's not a boring moment in the film and almost every single scene adds new layers to the film's multiple mysteries.

The Young Folks
Jackson's first Hollywood outing is a smash-and-grab horror-comedy....The ectoplasmic effects have aged fairly well...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 4/5 --
An incredibly underrated scare-comedy from Peter Jackson that deserves a much wider audience.
KFOR Channel 4 News
At times the relentless special effects and tangled plotting veer towards visual and narrative overkill, but the final tonal swerve is shocking and effective.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
The actors can't keep the film's mood from verging on hysteria as the story roams all over the map. "The Frighteners" has flitted everywhere, even to heaven and hell, before it's over.

It actually works up till its last few minutes.
