Ghosters Phantom Patrol

If you liked Ghostbusters your going to enjoy this indie film. It has a very familiar feel but with new awesome looking specters and some quirky new heroes. If you want to see some amazing special effects done on a shoe string budget this is the movie to see. It will have you asking, "How did they do that?" The acting was surprisingly good too. It is hard to find good family films these days and this movie fills the void while providing plenty of excitement for the whole family. You can feel safe letting your kids over 7 watch it. So pop some popcorn, dim the lights, and hunker down with the kids for a fun ride.

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) ...and today we review ....ghostbeaters .......the movie!!!

What i just watched was ........the definition of "hey lets wing it " in film form ......... it feels like your watching a haunted house on halloween as a movie ..... its just ....wow bad ......so SO terribly bad .........its the commination of ripping off ghostbusters 1 &2 .........but adding in VERY unnecessary family drama ???? IF they would have taken out the entire family bits ..... it would have been 1000% better ......the weird little .."Italian "guy and his car biz ......... not needed ....especially at the end being the rip off of the end of ghostbusters one with the staypuff marshmellow man ....but the mom the entire time just basically being annoying driving complaining ? ....why ? ... her and the kids driving around complaining .........if i wanted that i would go on a road trip with my OWN family i dont need that from a movie where im supposed to be watching cool ghosts scare a couple of hapless security guards

speaking of those 2 ......they were fine .....the ghosts however .... i mean ... i do give them kudos for using the screen projector ghosts from my yard last year .... and he green screen FX ....good lawd ..... why ? ... SO many questions ....why did they add the fake rain constantly but NOT have the actors be wet ever ?....

this film was so awful YET i kept watching it until the end , i have turned off much higher quality films for less ....so some underlining charm lives in this film to have kept my attention long enough it seems ....maybe its because i TOO am guilty of making terrible films in the exact same way as this team has done here ....lol... YUP .... using green screen and still frame images just moving across the screen ...or maybe even some looped rain and some bad stock footage trees .... maybe its all that reminding me of my own fun times of making awesomeness...dang i hate to love it ....but i love to hate it

i cant give it a good score because its not good .... but i do admire the film maker for making it .... great job ....you got a new fan for sure

2/10.

Horrible cgi

constant "rain" despite the obvious sunny day

constant references to a ghost being "hot" or "sexy" (she looks no more than 16 years old)

acting is forced and characters have no personality or chemistry together whatsoever

try to make characters seem smarter than others or more badass when they aren't and just come across as unrealistic

dry jokes

unnecessary subplots that go nowhere and just add confusion

Soundtrack does not fit the theme of the scene and is too loud to hear the dialogue of the characters

inconsistent/forced accents

plot makes no sense and is a rip off of Ghostbusters

ghost design and movements look off

serious scenes are cringey to watch

Why is there a dinosaur ghost?

Forced exposition at the beginning.

Camera quality looks like a YouTube skit let alone the weird camera angles

ghosts don't do anything scary

unnecessary flirting that gives second hand embarrassment

cliche villain that does nothing for the plot

green screen is obvious and doesn't look good

random claymation at the end???

Voiceovers don't match up with their mouths

ghosts break the fourth wall by screaming at the camera unnecessarily

too much dialogue it gets boring

Overall wouldn't watch unless you need to make fun of something....

There is instant nostalgia when this movie if you grew up watching the Ghostbuster films. It's kid friendly and fits with other films like Spy Kids and We Can Be Heroes. Fun watch that the whole family can appreciate. I felt like it held it's own and not trying to be a goofy spoof film or anything like that even though it parallels famous ghost films that came before it. There isn't a lot of good films like this that the 80's and 90's used to offer more of so its fun to see a modern take on a Ghost film with decent special effects. If you are a fan of Ghostbusters or The Frighteners then you will enjoy this film.

Ok ladies and gentlemen, time for a review of this....can it really be classified as a movie? This movie is pretty awful: Acting: stiff, cringy, inappropriate reactions/no reaction.

Special effects: the ghosts are actually not too bad most of the time, but the "rain" all the time and nothing is getting wet or people even reacting to rain! Green screen is usually pretty obvious.

Sound: the music!!!! Oh god the music is too loud! We needed to put on the closed captioning to know what was being said because all we could hear was the music! And the music choice itself was so weirdly not at all appropriate for the scenes. The car chase scene had music akin to an early cell phone ring time in a tropical tune.

Other: the access card was a Costco membership card. Poseidon inhabited ghost just disappeared into the ocean and never addressed. And well, the post credits thing....wha?? Claymation video game space adventure? I don't think this movie was written by a human and it's director and editor must have been busy doing something else in post production and let a wild squirrel roam free in the cutting room.
