The Frighteners

The Frighteners is a 1996 film directed by Peter Jackson about a psychic private detective who stands in the way of a serial killing death-like creature. As with his later films, Jackson filmed the movie in his home country, New Zealand. The film earned $16 million at the U.S. box office in July 1996. Sometime in 1998, director Peter Jackson, who went on to direct the Lord of the Rings trilogy, commissioned Universal Studios home video to release a laserdisc special edition of the film (with a four and a half hour documentary) as well as a standard edition DVD. Some collectors spend up to $500 to get a copy of the out of print laserdisc special edition on eBay. A Director's Cut Edition DVD was released in December 2005, to coincide with the release of Jackson's film King Kong. This edition included the 4 1/2 hour documentary and feature commentary of the laserdisc version, as well as a short introduction by Peter Jackson recorded for the DVD. The Director's Cut DVD set is available in Regions 2, 4 and 5.
