Carnival of Souls (1998)

A woman faces the man that killed her mother when she was young. She drives her car off a bridge with him in it and kills him. Now she's being haunted by his ghost. Or is she? This is a remake, and even though I haven't seen the original, it has to be better than this one. The whole story dragged on leading up to the inevitable twist which you can see coming 20 minuets into the film. DOn't waste your time. 1.5 out of 5.
