In the quiet town of Fairwater, Frank Bannister makes a living by
ridding haunted houses of their unwelcome "guest". But, as it
happens, he is in collusion with the very ghosts he promises to
evict. It works well until he happens upon a case which involves
a diabolical spirit on a murderous rampage - and the town
believes Frank is behind it. Filmed in Lyttelton, standing in as
Fairwater along with a few Wellington area shots, this film was not highly
received at the U.S. boxoffice, although it is very well directed
with excellent special effects. The mix of humour with horror
might have been the reason. A very entertaining film that is
definately recommended.
