About This Movie

Computer Ghosts is this quirky little TV movie from 1988 that mixes comedy and fantasy in a way you don’t see often nowadays. The premise is a bit wild—this security company uses computer-generated ghosts to scare away bidders and scoop up properties for cheap. The atmosphere has a playful, almost campy vibe, which pairs nicely with the practical effects that definitely remind you of the era’s tech limitations. The pacing is pretty brisk, keeping the laughs coming while weaving in that supernatural twist. And there’s this mysterious couple who pop up to challenge the company, adding a layer of intrigue that I found interesting. It's a unique watch for anyone into oddball cinema from this period.

Has a distinct '80s TV movie vibe.Features practical effects that add to its charm.A mix of comedy and fantasy that's not overly common.
