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.
Let me add it up for you. Stephen King, adapted by Stanley Kubrick, and starring Jack Nicholson as a writer who goes completely and murderously, freaking crazy during a winter in Colorado. The dead people in this movie totally understand that it doesn’t take much to scare the living—just some buckets of blood racing down the hallway and some creepy twins asking our young hero, Danny, if he’d like to play. Seriously, Nicholson looks the picture of crazy and when his wife, played by Shelley Duvall, figures it out, you can literally see the blood draining from her face.
