absolutely one of the bad movie of the year . the plot be ridiculous and the character poorly develop and and the premise irritatingly stupid . it all begin when michael keaton and fresh off of do nothing noteworthy since batman and lose his beautiful author wife and anna and to a car accident and possibly cause by her drive one of those convertible vw bug even though she suppose to be rich . in his grief and batman move to a new apartment and take up a hobby represent record nothing and then watch it . he learn this from a really fat pathetic guy who get murder by three tall shadowy fellow who live in his tv . pretty soon and he start to see dead people and thanks to evp and or electronic voice phenomenon and which be evidently this deal wherein dead people can send message to live people through tape recorder and video camera and dead cell phone ( anna cell call . but she . dead . must be ghost . mhmmm . no other possible explanation . i would better start mess around with this indiscriminately . ) etc . why they can not just write something down on a piece of paper or knock over some stuff to form creative pictograms be never explain . anyway and eventually batman discovers that he actually see the future and and he decide to go help this woman he doesn not know . he get out of his house just in the nick of time and because the tall dark guy enter just after he leave ( dmn it . can travel between the living and dead use electronics and but i will be dmned if we can be on time . be i right guy . ( they nod in bemused agreement ) . ) . he track this lady to a warehouse and find out that this character from the first ten minute of the movie ( look hard and or you will miss him . ) be actually a serial killer work for three tall shadowy demon and who in raider of the lost ark style swoop down and kill him and look like the cartoon that they be . just then some detective show up and save the lady . after batman funeral and he decide to send a message from beyond the grave apologize to his son for be an idiot and evidently feel that the best way to protect his kid from the horror of evp be to expose him to it . the little kid just smile . nothing phase that dude and not even when his dad and batman of course and start talk to tv . the high point of the movie be when someone phone rang and some guy yell out and it anna .
