Ghost (1990)
Directed by Jerry
Zucker this film stars Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg
and Tony Goldwyn. A banker murdered in a mugging stays on earth as a
ghost to protect his girlfriend from the people that killed him.
At the time of it's
release this film was a smash hit making money hand over fist but
comes across as decidedly average. The plot offers no real depth in
terms of exploring death and how it affects people instead being more
interested in the superficial plot, while Whoopi Goldberg is the best
thing in the film she is stuck in a stereotypical “magic negro”
role. Some of the special effects are also starting to look a little
dated, especially the shadow demons that appear.
3/5
