My Cousin, the Ghost

About This Movie

So, 'My Cousin, the Ghost' from 1987—a curious mix of comedy, horror, and even a touch of romance. The plot follows Cousin Big as he returns from the UK, on a mission to find a wife while juggling some ghostly family drama. It’s got this offbeat charm, combining slapstick humor with a haunting atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but that somehow adds to its quirky appeal. The practical effects for the ghosts are delightfully low-budget, capturing that raw, DIY vibe. The performances are a mixed bag, but Cousin Big really brings a certain energy that ties the whole thing together. It's not your typical ghost story, making it stand out in a sea of more conventional fare.
