Our take on Ghost

Jerry Zucker's 1990 blend of romance, fantasy and thriller follows a young man murdered on a city street whose spirit lingers to protect the woman he loves from the danger closing in around her. Guided by a reluctant psychic who can hear him, he races to warn her before it's too late. Balancing tender longing with suspense and unexpected humor, the film moves fluidly between grief, mystery and the supernatural. It suits viewers drawn to emotional love stories with a genre twist, and anyone who likes their romance shadowed by peril. Patient and heartfelt, it rewards those willing to embrace its sentiment alongside its darker turns.
