185 - The Frighteners (Patreon)

Tim and Jen look at Peter Jackson’s transition from splatter king to mainstream whizbang effects filmmaker, The Frighteners.

Check out part one of The Frighteners blooper reel! Part two may be viewed here. Damn, that’s a lot of blooperin’!

In 2018, Germain Lussier wrote a positive reappraisal of the film for Gizmodo. 

Lussier does not appear to be alone in liking the film, since a recent post from MSN claims that Universal intends to remake The Frighteners. Maybe we’ll get that franchise after all!
