Ghost Team

Saw the trailer for this on Hulu and wasn't sure. Looked up the ratings and it didn't seem to have done well. But then I started seeing a lot of positive reviews so I decided to give it a chance. Turns out, it was really really good. It's nice to see something different for a change. All the actors were great. I recommend everyone who is reading this to give it a chance. I don't regret watching it at all. It's really funny and has some intense moments that I wasn't expecting. Great movie!

This was really entertaining! It pretty much mocks all the ghost hunting shows that have ever been on TV, past and present. Louis, played by Jon Heder, was hoping to join the cast of a "real" ghost hunting show called Ghost Getters, which was looking for a fan to fill an open spot in the cast. To land a part on the show, fans were asked to send in their best footage of something paranormal as an audition tape (by the way, the entire cast of the fake Ghost Getters show looks exactly like the original Ghost Hunters cast on SyFy). So Louis, a huge fan of everything Ghost Getters, assembles a team to go to a haunted barn to try to get footage for the show. It was all very silly, but the veteran actors in the cast made it fun to watch.

This movie was hilarious, surprisingly heart-warming, and actually a decent thriller. It never gets boring, and the cast grows more likable throughout the film. I don't understand how this has gotten so many poor reviews, when it's definitely one of the top "ghost hunter" movies out there. Anyways, don't believe the bad type. This is legit a movie worth the time. The only part I would complain about ould be the sound editing, as the words can be hard to make out at times. I'd recommend subtitles, not because it's impossible to follow along without them, but because it makes sure you don't miss anything. Definitely check it out!

It's so bad I couldn't watch it all. Even having it on in the background was annoying. Feel a bit guilty even giving it a 2 but I guess they put some effort into making it. That's all I got. Mince.

I watched about 2/3rds of this movie in the first sitting. It was okay. Not especially funny, but somehow engaging enough to keep me from being bored. I realized about a month later that I hadn't finished the movie, and didn't know if it was still up on Netflix. Of course, it was, and I finished watching it. There are a few charming moments, but nothing that approaches memorable. There's a lot of humor that could be mined from people who buy into ghost hunting shows. Those ideas are in this movie, but it seemed like it lost focus of the funniest aspect of the premise, and instead went with some broad, predictable gags for the characters. The plot involves the group deciding to shoot an audition episode of a ghost hunting show. They go to a "haunted" barn. After poking around, they stumble on a larger, non-supernatural story. This is a decent development, but for the budget that the movie seemed to have, the writing is much more dull, and no real risks are taken.
