Horror Vault's take

A cash-strapped Irish castle owner cooks up a scheme to lure tourists by marketing his crumbling estate as genuinely haunted — a lie that spectacularly unravels when the real resident ghosts decide to make themselves known. What follows is a chaotic collision of the living and the dead, fueled by mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and the kind of mayhem only a castle full of secrets can produce. Director Neil Jordan blends gothic atmosphere with screwball comedy, delivering a supernatural romp that leans heavily on charm and an irresistible ensemble cast.
