Films on Disc has been sited by Classic Movies as one of their Best New Links. The kids will enjoy the disgusting banter of the nasty trio of malevolent ghost apparitions that are meant to add spice to the saccharine creation of Casper. There are even a good many cinematic references meant to tickle the fancy of adults accompanying the kids to see this special effects driven flick,but these fall flat and are far from imaginative. Still, Casper's good nature is not terribly hard to sit through. It is easy to marvel equally at the skill of the special effects and the banality of the scripting.
Set design is a good deal of fun.
The entire picture seems like an excuse for an excellent amusement park haunted house. Could it be the next theme park attraction in the making. The images on this laser disc are very lively. Even though much of the film is confined to the dark and foreboding ambiance of a ghost infested house, picture detail or brightness never suffer. The translucent nature of the ghost creations is very well presented for laser.
