About The Film:
Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar for her scene-stealing performance in Jerry Zucker’s supernatural romance, which deftly blends broad comedy, murder mystery, and heartfelt love story. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore star as Sam and Molly, a couple torn apart when Sam is murdered and returns as a spirit, turning to a reluctant psychic for help as he tries to protect Molly.

"One of the finest (and weepiest) love stories ever to hit the big screen, Ghost is a a fundamental human tale that touches the hardest heart." - Empire Magazine

"Ghost is one part horror picture, one part comedy, one part love story, one part murder mystery and four parts entrancing." - Orlando Sentinel
