A superb black comedy and one of Zemeckis' best films, also for adults. The film is based on an allegory about life and death. Zemeckis shows people who live while dead, and who, dying, remain alive. Dr. Menville, having made the wrong choice, works with the dead and does not live, but exists. The film has a simple message: life is determined by deeds, not the physical existence of the body. A living body without positive activity is no different from a dead body. And all this is presented with really high-quality humor in the style of Edgar Poe.
