This preoccupation with the occult has become the latest fad in Hollywood, but is abhorrent to most moral Americans who adhere to biblical values and have matured beyond the infantile infatuation with a nominalistic worldview into a real ontology. Christians therefore must be all the more diligent in explaining to others that this belief is not found in the Bible and that these things do not happen in reality.
However, its tiresome premise of after-death deeds and tasks performed before progressing on has been featured many times before (TOPPER, HEAVEN CAN WAIT and ALWAYS to name a few). With good acting, the film is a well-made one that will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. Oda Mae subsequently becomes a reluctant liaison for the two lovers. With Molly’s life in danger, Sam’s need to reach her becomes urgent. When Oda Mae closes Carl’s bank account, the vengeful Carl plans to kill Molly. Sam and Oda Mae work together to get the goods on Carl, Sam’s fellow banker and drug money launderer who murdered him. However, when Sam comes to Oda Mae with a story of laundered drug money and murder, no one believes her because of her police record as a con artist. The charlatan psychic is astonished to discover her powers are authentic and actually work. While mastering the skills of the spirit world, Sam calls on Oda Mae Brown, a spiritual medium. Stranded as a ghost in New York City, Sam is determined to communicate with Molly, the woman he loves.
When Sam is murdered, however, his spirit lingers on Earth trying to make sense of his meaningless death. Sam Wheat, a New York banker, and his girlfriend, Molly Jensen, are renovating the flat they have just moved into together. This is not a horror film, as the title suggests, but a romantic comedy.
