And when I wrote "poltergeist" in the synopsis, I really meant Poltergeist. Spectre's climax (well, one of the several that make the film drag on and on) directly rips off that movie. The rest of the film is filled with silly hyperactive directing, as well as overacting by Alexandra Paul. In the movie's best line, the husband (Greg Evigan) coos to his wife, "Oooh. Somebody likes to watch." Not me; not this. (Feb 12, 1999)
