Charlatan Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) has genuine psychic powers, but he doesn't use them to help people. Rather, he generates cases for his supernatural private-eye firm by harassing a group of hapless ghosts (including a dearly departed Wild West outlaw and an undead judge played by John Astin) into staging hauntings and poltergeists in the homes of likely marks. Bannister's world turns on its head when he starts noticing real hauntings around town -- ghostly assassinations that seem to be tied to the execution 20 years earlier of a brutal serial killer. Lucy Lunskey (Trini Alvarado), the wife of one unlucky victim, teams up with Bannister to get to the bottom of the killings and find out what shut-in Patricia Bradley (Dee Wallace Stone) and her witchy mother (Julia McCarthy) have to do with the sinister spree. ~ Brian J.

In this genial supernatural comedy, all the people in the story are in one way or another involved with a mysterious animal totem (of the dog goddess) from a South Pacific island. It is reputed to have some amazing powers, not least, the ability to rekindle passion among the listless. One woman wants to somehow capture that property and market it as an aphrodisiac. Another couple want to use it in experiments on the senior bowling group locally. All these people (and more) strive to possess the elusive treasure, but, without allowing any of them to lose, the goddess herself has other plans. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
