Product Description

Synopsis
Peter O'Toole stars as the drunken owner of the Castle Hotel which he desperately needs to sell to pay off his endless bills. To attract buyers, he advertises the property as the most ghost-ridden hotel in the Emerald Isle. Unfortunately, when prospective buyers arrive, he press-gangs his loyal staff to form a makeshift bunch of fake phantoms. The buyers soon get wise to the ruse however, and all seems lost until a real bunch of ghosts turns up......

5.0 out of 5 stars Region 2?, 1 Mar 2005
By A Customer
I love this film i first saw it when i was a kid and i laughed from start to finish.
But why on earth is a movie set in Ireland on Region 1 DVD and not 2?
I've got it on Video but i'd kill to have it on Region 2 DVD. C'mon what's taking you so long!!!
Overall a great film and probably Steve Guttenburgs only good movie, Peter O'Toole is great, Beverly D'Angelo is Hiliarious and the hotel staff are fantastic.
If you own a multi regional DVD player or you're an American - BUY IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best movies u can own, 11 Dec 2003
Oh my god...where to start?

This film is brilliant!

I first saw it about 9yrs ago and couldnt stop laughing at Steve Guttenberg and Liam Neeson.

The story takes place in Ireland in a old Castle Plunkett.

The owner is bankrupt and comes up with a great plan to rip everyone off with haunting the castle with help from his staff, but the group of Americans come over..give him a run for his money.

Over the next little while, after hysterical attempts of haunting and near death events, the real ghosts take it into they're own hands.

Thats all ur getting, if u want to see something funny, romantic and chilling, then this is it.

Stars include:

Steve Guttenberg
Peter O'Toole
Liam Neeson

Trust me...its worth it and i cant believe its taken MGM this long to make it into DVD!!!

By A Customer
An excellent film which has become extremely hard to find.
For all the others out there who remain young at heart, stay that way.
