The Last Sign

(2005)

This dude likes to use his wife as a punching bag,* and I guess he figures she's got plenty more coming because after he dies he starts haunting her. At first she's not sure if she's really seeing his ghost or just being a typical flakey chick, but she also keeps seeing the number 8 everywhere and that pretty much clinches it. See, the husband said 8 was his lucky number because "you can write it without ever taking your pen off the paper". Wow- that's the only number you can do that with, if you exclude 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 0. What a dumbass. It's still pretty freaky though because how often do you really see the number 8 on a day-to-day basis? Think about it. Pretty soon the ghost starts making all these crank phone calls, and... Okay, wait a minute- that's the best he can come up with? Why not send her a bunch of pizzas too? Even worse, later it turns out that the husband isn't even the one actually making the calls- he like contracted it out to another ghost! Dude, seriously, if you're not gonna commit just go ahead and walk into the light and be done with it, you slack-ass fuck. Jesus. Finally the chick's female boss, who's trying way too hard to be her friend (dyke alert), tells her she needs to talk to the ghost, and when she does it turns out that he just wanted to say he was sorry. So I guess the moral of this movie is that guys who beat their women really love them deep down inside. I think I'll give my copy of this to that broad down the street who keeps walking into doors.

*I've never been able to figure out what you chicks see in guys like that. It must be the hitting.
