Cinekuest for the Halloweening-Lockdown Edition-The FrightnersFor our non-spooky time revelers, we cough*somewhat mostly one person*cough have used the at-home hijinks opportunity to pick another crazy-cool episode with extra-as-fuck actor Jeffrey Combs. Also cool lead star Michael J. Fox. See if you can find the director’s cameo. See into the funky-ass mind of director Peter Jackson before he went full Hollywood Dominator with LOTR. Frank Bannister (MJ Fox) was a normal, yuppie architect thirsting after his own basketball court when an unfortunate accident left him driving a busted-ass Model Pos Ford and slumming with the spectors of the un-living. Cool dudes, mostly. Channeling his best Peter Venkman, Franky boy grifts random marks using a squirt gun and a toaster oven with the aid of his dead-bros. This works for a time until word gets around about a spirit shyster. By the power of plot-force, this coincides with a string of seemingly unrelated, unexplainable deaths (sure they are). Enter FBI Agent Paranormal Obsessionist Extraordinaire, Milton Dammers (Jeffrey Combs) who takes his shiet so seriously, he’s got a fucking uzi (standard issue, sure). This guy would be a beast if he wasn’t so borked in the brain. And afraid of the ladies. Imagine if you will, Agent Herbert West himself- just less power of science and more X-files nuthouse Illuminati. Get ready for one of the best comedy horror movies of the mid 90’s. Join Rey, Roland and Daniel as we recount the killer funnies.
