Loved the movie !!! Peter O'Toole at his best !!! We all know that Mr. O'Toole is wonderful in dramatic roles but you need to watch him in a comedy .. the man is a genius !!! I happened to catch the movie on late night TV and knew I had to own the DVD !!!

I remember seeing this movie many years ago, and enjoyed it. Hence, decided to buy it on DVD. The movie is like I remembered, but there are some problems with it. The story line of the movie deals with a castle, being reposed and moved to California. The current owner (O'Toole) decides to draw attention to the castle, as it is an inn, decides to create spooks and ghosts. This he does, not too successfully, but in so doing, the real spooks and ghosts disapprove and decide to take matters in their own hands. The rest of the movie deals with the interaction between these real ghosts and the humans within the castle. The plot is bumpy, with not consistent acting across the board. Peter O'Toole is great as the owner/descendant of the castle, and provides probably the best acting of the movie. The other characters are a not as well developed, and do not provide as good of acting as O'Toole. The only other actor that comes close is Liam Neeson as Martin Brogan, one of the spirits. Over all though a fairly enjoyable movie, though having some sexual connotations and a simulated sex scene (both of which could have been left out as they added nothing to the movie). There are some good scenes in it, and Peter O'Toole probably is the one who keeps the entire thing going.Read full review
Set on a rural Irish loch, this castle hotel has little to offer except faulty plumbing, frayed electrical, and loose building stones. But the plan to bring it back to life, or more to the point, underlife has been sprung. That only manages to upset the real spirits of the castle which in turn allows the castle manager to attain his ultimate goals. The acting is fine with well known A-list actors of the day such as Peter O'Toole, Steve Guttenberg, Beverly D'Angelo, Jennifer Tilly, and Peter Gallagher. Also turning in a good performance was Liz Smith, a perennial favorite of British TV. The locations feature a loch, forest, and the stately castle Plunkett. This was no blockbuster when it was released but makes for good late night television when all they have on is the usual crap shown today. This is a cable channel favorite.Read full review
Who This has a built-in love story with Hannah as the lovelorn spirit/seductress. I enjoyed the comedic side of Peter O'Toole.
