About This Movie

So, 'Ghosts Can't Do It' is quite the bizarre romp, blending action, comedy, and fantasy in a way that feels uniquely John Derek. The film wrestles with themes of love and obsession, presenting a rather outlandish premise: an elderly man who, after kicking the bucket, asks his young wife to off another dude so he can possess his body. It's got this strange, almost surreal atmosphere, with a pacing that drags in parts but keeps your interest through its sheer oddity. The practical effects are charmingly dated, and the performances—especially from the leads—bring a certain... earnestness to the madness. It's definitely not your everyday ghost story, and that’s what makes it stand out in the collection.
