![]() ![]() He is also the last to realize what the heck is going on. I especially like the goofy interaction between Meg Tilly as the nympho and Peter Gallagher as the soon-to-be Priest. Everyone in the movie is fantastic because, though some may start out to be quite annoying (such as the self-declared "professional parasychologist" or the cynical Sharon (D'Angelo)), they eventually come to be very entertaining as the movie goes along. But how does a ghost and a human end up together (and they have to end up together.after all it's a Hollywood love story)? Well, that's why you have to watch the movie. The ghosts keep playing out the murder over and over again, and Jack, accidently intervening in one of the reenactments, somehow frees Mary from the murder. Jack actually starts to fall in love with one of the ghosts, a Plunkett ancestry named Mary (Daryl Hannah), a sickley looking young girl who died by the knife of her husband (Liam Neesom). Guttenberg is Jack, a sorry guy who's married to a real dull lady (Beverly D'Angelo) that really can't stand to know him, especially when he drags her out to some stupid castle. The movie is a romantic comedy, of course, though it could've worked simply as a story of the funny occurences in the haunted castle as Plunkett and his frantic guests scurry about trying to deal with the situation any way that they can. And this is where the movie really starts to get funny because everyone, after their various confrontations with the undead and all the strange things that start to happen in the castle, start to become so neurotic as they try to figure out what's going on. But Plunkett and the gang (nor their furious guests) would ever have imagined real ghosts showing up. No, Plunkett's plan involves a few crappy props and some cheap scare tactics to thrill their small group of American guests. Of course, Plunkett doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts, especially when he hasn't seen any for himself, despite his mother's attempts to convince him that they're everywhere. And so, the guests are invited to stay among the spirits of the Plunkett family. After talking with his looney, but sincere old mother who always claims that she talks to his dead father and the rest of the poor spirits looming around the dark castle, Plunkett decides that the castle ought to be haunted. The old fashioned castle needs a clever advertising gimmick to entice visitors. Peter Plunkett (Peter O'Toole), and his gang of merry Irishmen are facing foreclosure on their grand castle resort. The film was released on Blu Ray from Final Cut on Augin the UK.High Spirits turned out to be a pretty good comedy. ![]() It was packaged as a double feature with Vampire's Kiss on February 13, 2015.
