Hollywood’s Best ‘I See Dead People’ Movies
In Clint Eastwood’s "Hereafter," Matt Damon plays a psychic who communicates with ghosts, continuing the trend of sensitive treatment of spectral beings. Things were better in the days when Hollywood made really scary movies about those who came back from the grave.
OK, so this movie was more funny than scary, but c’mon. A painting at the Metropolitan Museum comes to life and announces: “I, Vigo, the scourge of Carpathia, the sorrow of Moldova, command you. On a mountain of skulls in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood. What was, will be; what is will be no more. Now is the season of evil! Find me a child that I might live again!” That’s the kind of dead people we need in cinema, the kind with revenge on their minds.
