Living with the Dead
120 min.
Ted Danson gives a strong performance as a man who is able to talk with the dead in this sometimes chilling two-part 2002 TV-mystery, inspired by the life of medium James Van Praagh.
As Part 1 begins, Van Praagh (Danson) is struggling to keep his failing business afloat while grieving the death of his mother (Diane Ladd). During this emotional time, he begins to “see” the spirits of dead people who want to communicate with him, a phenomenon that also occurred in his childhood. The most disturbing vision is of a boy whose hands are tied, who, Van Praagh soon realizes, was murdered by a serial killer who may still be active. Karen: Mary Steenburgen. Midge: Queen Latifah.
