Notes
Theatrical release: July 19, 1996. Although the film is set in California, it was filmed in New Zealand. Peter Jackson had actually sent an outline for THE FRIGHTENERS to executive producer Robert Zemeckis as a proposed episode for the HBO series TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Zemeckis thought the story was good enough to stand on its own and decided to turn it into a feature-length film. Jackson has a cameo appearance as a biker that Michael J. Fox's character bumps into exiting an office building.
Editorial reviews
"...Flashes of twisted inspiration..." Rolling Stone - p.105 - Peter Travers (08/22/1996) "...Everything-goes....Consistently witty and often lewd and rude..." -- Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly - p.84 - Tim Purtell (12/20/1996) "...Saucy, scary and pleasantly unsettling....Jackson, at home with all kinds of excess, keeps everything spinning nicely..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/19/1996) "[A]s the filmmaker points out, THE FRIGHTENERS represents a major turning point in his career. This was the first time that Mr. Jackson worked for a Hollywood studio, cast a major star and made extensive use of computer-generated imagery..." New York Times - Dave Kehr (12/06/2005) "Jackson's first Hollywood outing is a smash-and-grab horror-comedy....The ectoplasmic effects have aged fairly well..." Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (02/01/2006)
