Pale Canterville imitation
17 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is the latest film/TV incarnation of Oscar Wilde's story, The Canterville Ghost -- and probably the worst. The only possible bit of originality was changing the site from an English castle to an American Western town, but I'll bet that had far more to do with reducing cost than exercising creativity. Despite Lesley-Ann Down's talent and experience, she wasn't convincing as a villain, or perhaps she just didn't care -- yet she was by far the best of the cast. Unlike a previous reviewer, I do not consider this the worst movie ever (my candidate for that dishonor is Attack of the Mushroom People), but must agree that this film is pretty bad.
