After a convicted murderer's execution, and when copycat killers become suicides, the original detective is dragged into what becomes a vastly more complex case.

Although I wouldn't recommend this broadly, it was so impactful that I could only sketch out a vague description from memory and had to wait for the inception of artificial intelligence to help me track it down.

A psychologist goes insane when his wife dies, and he drags his daughter into a life of the paranormal.

A really straightforward and tame movie. It's absolutely nothing compared to the awe that 80s kids movies have, and I would never recommend it to kids with a brain.

Failed-scientists begin a ghost capturing service, and the need for their services grows, threatening all of New York city.

I don't have a lot of movies anything like this which I could consider listing as mandatory, so this one gets in pretty easily.

Kinda boring but suitable for kids.

A disabled person is welcomed into a community which turns on him after a series of misunderstandings.

Pretty wholesome, although it stops making sense nearing the end. A good enough watch.

When a guy somehow marries a corpse, he learns his town has an alternate reality where its dead reside

It's kinda pointless.

During a zombie apocalypse, a guy with a past gets selected for his skills to pursue a cure.

Pretty good all around. I like the realism.

An old man is surprised to learn has has 19 year old daughter, who becomes embroiled in a web of vengeance and violence set against him.

I really like this movie. It might play out as too flat for most people, but for me the character was well-crafted and acted.

Like few movies, He Never Died explores age and power at its extreme. Fans of Interview with the Vampire - (1994 movie), for example, should appreciate such elements.
