The construction of a skyscraper is being haunted by a ghost.
There are two reasons to watch this movie: Michael Moriarty and Kevin McCarthy. If there is a third reason, I must not have noticed it. And sadly, McCarthy's role is relatively minor... he should be carrying the picture, but he just was not given the honor.
Moriarty is a gifted actor, whether or not that is evident here. He can play very goofy, oddball roles (as he has done repeatedly for Larry Cohen) or he can win awards and star alongside some of the greatest names in Hollywood (as he did in "Pale Rider"). This is somewhere in the middle -- not an amazing performance, but not goofy, either (despite the supernatural and horror elements that could easily have asked for horror).
