Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Ed-Shullivan Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Michael Moriarty, Queen Latifah, Diane Ladd and Jack Palance were perfect in their respected roles in Living With the Dead. For a made for TV film, this was definitely over achieving expectations. Mrs. Shullivan and I really enjoy a good suspense film, but eh, throw in some great science-fiction, thriller, and a non-stop "who done it" serial killer theme and you come up with in my opinion a prime-time Emmy winner for any film audience.Ted Danson is the star of this film who plays James Van Praagh, a troubled divorced man whose business is struggling financially, his elderly mother Regina Van Praagh played by Diane Ladd has just been admitted into the emergency wing of the local hospital after suffering a stroke, but James Van Praagh also has demons deep inside his mind from his early childhood memories of seeing and talking to dead people. Jack Palance plays Ted Danson's father Allan Van Praagh, who continually tells his young son well into his adulthood years that he must suppress any visions that his son James might be seeing and disregard them as nonsense. But the young James Van Praagh remembers vividly his mother relying on a composite of drugs to survive and when he is an adult his father tells James that he can arrange for him to receive the same drugs that his mother used to help her sleep. At this point James realizes that his mother must have also had visions of dead people herself, and she was trying to suppress them.Queen Latifah plays a business consultant named Midge Harmon who is called in to help save James faltering business, but she also tries to help James see that both his past and future visions are real so she brings him to a meeting of like minded people where James is introduced to a very calm Psychic named Adrian played by Michael Moriarty. Adrian patiently tries to reassure James that his visions are real and that eventually when he is ready to accept that his uncanny ability to speak to the dead is very real, he will be at peace with himself, and be able to assist people talk to their dead relatives through him. The film moves along at a very even pace maintaining the suspense as James continues to interact with many dead people and a slew of young boys who are trying to instruct James how he can assist in finding their serial killer. There are a number of potential serial killer suspects and you will find yourself questioning who the real murderer is.This is by far a much better suspense film than is generally available on television, and since Mrs. Shullivan and I just watched the film 14 years after it was originally released and it still has great appeal I can recommend to other viewers that it is well worth your evening's entertainment and you will not be disappointed. I give the film a solid 8 out of 10 rating.

rsternesq I have to admit I am not a fan of Ted Danson. I think this is the only project of his that I liked and I liked it despite him. This is a very good movie, good writing, good production values and wonders of wonders great acting. Much better than Medium or Ghost Whisperer and near as good as Sixth Sense but, of course, Ted Danson is no Bruce. Oh well. You can't have everything and this made for TV movie sure delivers a lot. Jack Palance is quite a bonus. Just seeing that face reminds this viewer of what movies can be when they try. This one tries and pretty much succeeds. Had this movie been in a traditional format of two or so hours it would not have had the power to immerse the viewer into the characters' world so while it is a bit long and takes a sizable commitment of time, it is worth it. Highly recommended.

exiled_human Its a must see movie. Its story is great,acting is great and once you watch it you'll like to watch it again like i do .When i first saw it i missed its name but just saw a flash of it which read the word heaven. I tried searching for it over the web again and again when one day google brought me here and i found it. In my country when i asked about this movie they told me that a movie with this name doesn't exist but once i found the poster of it on the web i showed it to all my friends who didn't believe me and finally they believed me.This movie is on number 2 from the most popular movies i have ever searched. The first one was taken By Harry Potter but i must say its a great movie.You cant know what the end will be.. unless you see it.. BTW i first watched it on Hallmark.Which i would like to thank them to showing such a great movie to me.. Thank you Hallmark ..

jb-208 I have just finished watching the DVD "La porte de l'au-delà" which is the French title of "Living with the Dead".I found that movie very enjoyable with a "The Sixth Sense" feel even if it took some time to get on with the subject. That may be due to the fact that this version seems to be a "long" one (it has a running time of 2h46 = 166 min) compared to the 142 min UK Runtime.I'll give it an 8/10 :) :)
