Fairly run-of-the-mill Hollywood-does-J-Horror ghost story with vaguely unstable Michelle Pfeifer trying to persuade sceptical Biochemist (yay) husband Harrison Ford that their lake-side house is haunted. All fairly workman-like and I suppose it's OK if you're in the mood for that sort of thing.

i rather enjoyed it at the time - a fun film to watch in the company of
older family members.

...completely ruins the twist with one of the most obvious Chekov's guns
I can remember. Why are two random scientists in Harrison's lab talking
about a drug that paralyses "animals" but that lets them experience
everything going on, unless one of our protagonists is going to be dosed
with it later in the film? And who is the only major character with access
to that drug? QED, bad guy identified about 20 mins into the movie.
