In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Frighteners (1996)
A comedy horror directed by Peter Jackson, starring Michael J. Fox.
A man who can communicate with ghosts sends his ghost friends into people's houses so that he can banish them and make money. Then a real ghost shows up and starts killing people just for fun. The con-man has to catch and kill the evil spirit.
About the only time when I like comedy or horror is when they are together like in this or Freddy's Dead. The characters and plot were good. There was some style and the pacing was quick. The production and entertainment values were there too. I'm rating this adequate because it was cool, but didn't go that extra mile.
