Bad Taste director Peter Jackson gets to unleash his particular, peculiar vision with the backing of Hollywood cash and a full FX crew. Jackson's normal wit and style is diluted by the need for a formula plot and resolution, but the story of Michael J Fox's psychic investigator confronting a spectral murder is still a fun, heady ride.

Instead, fans have to be content with such producer-spiel as "It stretches the bounds of computer graphics and storytelling." But then, they all say that.
