Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This micro-budget variation on Ghost starts with a 'fatal' car crash, following which Natalia (Schilling), her old flame Zach (Thomsen), and bad boy Brad (Shark) are caught in limbo between life and death. Invisible to others and unable to influence events around them, they are pursued by 'Soultaker' (Estevez), racing against time to reunite their displaced souls with their barely living bodies. Rissi's uneven direction and cheapo special effects are no match for actor/writer Vivian Schilling's neatly turned script, but the film as a whole pays off nicely.Author: NF
