Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

daqueen_46 The girl you have listed as the actress who played Wendy isn't the real one. The real actress who did the role is my daughter Shelley, and I have the earrings... How do you like THAT one? I wish I could show you some personal pix, plus the earrings.. You need a photo of her for the file, not this stand-in.. The movie was filmed at our family estate in Foresthill, CA.. George Hamilton is my ex-boy-toy named Robert, too. He also does "Big Bird" for PBS and does the Johnny Depp stuff, too. You can hear the voice. He's also done the role of Chekov on the old Star Trek series. You can hear the Chekov scream in Johnny Depp's holler in one of his pirate flicks as he runs down the beach. He's sang under many names: the Monkees, John Denver, etc... He's on Two and a Half Men, lately, as Jon Cryer. I could send you pix of him, too. I was Tabitha on the old Bewitched series. You have to watch for the name-games with us show-biz folks. "Shelving" stuff to bring out years later is one of our tricks, too. It's about privacy...

gwshogi3 I rented this for my four-year-old son from our local public library. As the third Casper film, and a direct-to-video release (the only advertising I remember was on cereal boxes), I wasn't expecting much from this little venture, but I was delightfully surprised. I actually sat and watched the whole thing, and the climax is quite suspenseful. A great cast, some witty writing, and fine performances by George Hamilton as the villainous arch-warlock Desmond Spellman (am I the only one who thinks this is a dig at Aaron Spelling?), Richard Moll, Vincent Schiavelli—and the three adult witches, Shelly Duval, Teri Garr and Cathy Moriarty. The CGI ghosts are well done.But the biggest surprise of all is Hilary Duff's sparkling performance as Wendy. Based on all the ditzy teen idol crap she did later-- rolling her eyes and huffing every thirty seconds as "Lizzy McGuire" and singing those plastic pop tunes--I expected her to just float around on her broom and look cute. But this is the best acting I've ever seen her do. I can hardly believe it's the same person. She's a delightful little bundle of energy, delivers her lines intelligently, and really works her little duff off (sorry, couldn't resist that). It's a shame her career took such an airhead direction. This video shows she was capable of better things, but she's already being forgotten.One caution: The ending, with the swirling "Mystic Abyss", when it seems like Wendy might actually be a gonner, as well as the "possession" scenes might be a little too much for some preschoolers.

bmccree1912 Casper meets Wendy lacks the female heroine that was played best by Christina Ricci as Kat Harvey. The Witches in Hocus Pocus are more believable than the witches in this film. Even though the main heroine is suppose to be young and outgoing, I think Hilary Duff was somewhat inexperienced and in a way could not fill the shoes of Christina Ricci. Cathy Moriarty is better as a villain like in the first Casper movie than somewhat of a hero in this one. Casper and the ghostly trio are the best characters and my favorite characters, too. The film is also missing the male hero or main character like Dr. Harvey and the guy played by Steve Guttenburg, who was good in Tower of terror. The main reason why I don't feel this is the best or even as close to being as good as Casper is the plot and lack of some more excellent main characters. I've never heard of this guy who plays Desmond Spellman, but I don't think the villain should be like an evil Businessman. The Henchmen should not look like the men in black with blasters.

leanne82nw This is by no means a great movie at all, the special effects are pretty dodgy and the story quite weird also. The main reason why this would be of interest to viewers is that it marks the film debut of Hilary Duff, who is 11 years old in this film. This movie was one of her first ever jobs and she does a good job, given the material she is working with. Her voice is a lot higher pitched than it is on Lizzie. A standout scene would be Wendy and Casper dancing under a gazebo.
