This comedy is about a man called Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) whose people skills aren’t of the best. When Pincus unexpectedly dies after having an operation, but is miraculously revived after several minutes, he wakes up having the most annoying ability to talk to spirits that are earthbound. Even worse, they all need his help, especially Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who died recently and wants Pincus to break up the impending marriage of his widow, Gwen (Tea Leoni).
Bertram Pincus goes through a very interesting and funny time trying to balance his life as a dentist, a person who can see ghosts and a man Gwen will fall in love with.

This is one of the best and funniest films I have seen, I would say it is a must see!

Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with so much evil, that it has been denied entrance to heaven. If this is the case, that soul has to wander between the borderline until it finds a body to inhabit.

This supernatural thriller tells a story about a young woman Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) who is pulled into a world of nightmares and a demonic spirit that haunts her and threatens her family. Casey had always hated her mother for leaving her, but when weird and supernatural things start to happen, she understands why she left. Casey decides to go to a Spiritual Advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman). With Sendak’s help Casey finally finds out about her family curse dating back to Nazi Germany, a demonic demon that can inhabit anyone and anything. Her only chance for survival is to shut the doorway from beyond our world, which was opened by someone who was never born.
I wasn't to keen on this film, as at first i didn't really understand it. I think that it is a good film to watch and it is guaranteed to give you a shock.
