Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
In New England, four old men entertain each other by telling ghost stories. But these men are tormented by their own horrendous real-life tale, involving a crime they committed against a young lady during their youth -- an act they've hidden for the past 50 years. But this secret comes back to haunt them, as the evil spirit of the woman avenges the crime committed against her.

Notes:
Fred Astaire's final film. He died in 1987. Also Melvyn Douglas' final film.

Reviews:
