This is the worst ghost movie ever! It runs like a Lifetime movie of the week with a ghost theme. It has that soap opera feel and ultra cheap ghost effects. I picked this up at Best Buy as a 3 pack from Rare Flix and what a piece of shit this was. I was debating whether to review it or not, with notes in hand. I said yes because if this movie can’t find a home anywhere else to be reviewed it should be here at Splatter. When the shit hits the fan... you know the rest.

Molly is happily married to Jeff. They have a nice house with a large pool and a Jacuzzi. Then, out of nowhere, her saucy young sister Susan shows up in need of a place to live. Susan has always been the troublesome sister in the family but Molly agrees to have her stay not knowing that she’s invited the ultimate home wrecker as a guest in her home. Susan starts things off nicely by relaxing in the Jacuzzi topless (yes we get a glimpse) then follows it up with stealing cash and jewelry from her sister. To top things off she enters Jeff’s bedroom at night, while Molly was out, and seduces him dressed in black lingerie. Molly walks in just in time and kicks Susan out of the house.

Susan then walks around the city streets at night and ends up in a bar where she meets a supposed ex Vietnam vet who will kill Molly for her. The dude is lying and drunk off his ass. They sneak into Molly’s house and she wakes up, pulls a pistol and shoots at them. They both flee with the mission unaccomplished. Molly only saw the guy flee and not Susan. Susan begs to be taken back in, that she’s changed her slutty ways. Later Susan hires a second hitman from a soldier’s of fortune mag and this guy seems to be the real deal. I ask myself why she wants to be with Jeff (Molly’s husband) so badly, to the point of killing her own sister. The movie barely explains this by saying Susan was adopted and Molly was always the parents favored. Susan sends the hitman a picture of her instead of Molly by mistake and so Susan ends up being killed by the hitman.

Now as a ghost she causes more trouble for Molly and Jeff. She throws around stuff and has ghost sex with Jeff in one scene. Don’t ask me how that works, I don’t know. Susan then goes off to kill the hitman that killed her. He was just doing his job I say. Anyway she chases him around a secluded wooded area getting him impaled on a tree branch, killing him instantly. Now things will take a turn for the WTF?. Susan takes possession of Molly’s body and Molly becomes the ghost. So Jeff can now have sex with Susan guilt free, but he suspects something and doesn’t. I’d bang my way to reason if I were him. Molly appears to her husband as Susan and warns him about some crap. But then (Not even I expected this) the ghost of the hitman shows up and kills Susan in Molly’s body. But Molly’s body is left alive so Molly’s spirit can return and Susan is vanished forever to wherever spirits end up in this film.

I hated this movie. I don’t understand how your sweet 17yr old sister can show up at your house one day and seduce your husband and steal your money and jewels by nightfall. That topless scene got me through the whole film, the hope that I would see some more young flesh, but that’s all we get. The ghost effects are so cheap and retarded - great stuff. The last twist where they switch bodies was so dumb and handled wrongly. Haven’t they heard of adding more boobs or blood!
