We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, I will receive a copy for review, but this just means I'm able to giveaway the film as a prize too! Enter the contest at the end of this post.
I have always been a Ghostbusters fan. I have watched all the previous films and was even a big fan of The Real Ghostbusters Saturday Morning Cartoon Series. As someone who doesn't watch scary movies, Ghostbusters always had more "funny" than "fright" and that was why I enjoyed it so much. After watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife I am glad to see that they still follow that pattern. This movie is rated PG-13 and does have some frightening scenes, but they are usually followed up with a punchline or heroic moment.
Just like the other films, the story opens with something strange in the neighbourhood, but this time the neighbourhood happens to be Summerville. Summerville is a quiet farm-town with an odd past, and soon to be the new home of Callie and her two kids, Phoebe and Trevor. They go there looking to salvage what they can from a deceased relative's homestead, and soon find more than they bargained for. While they are all critical of each other and the situation that they are in, their journey takes on a whole new spirit when the supernatural enters the scene.
Ghostbusters; Afterlife is a wonderful throwback to the first film with a bit of teen drama added to the mix. This film is edgier and the characters have a bit more angst towards one another, but in the end, they realize they were brought to Summerville for a higher purpose and find their true paths. This spirited adventure was fantastic to watch and filled with fun surprises. The Blu-Ray+DVD+Digital version includes extra footage of Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) and his Father who created the original Ghostbusters film, Ivan Reitman. Today Jason posted that his Father had passed away. Ghostbusters: Afterlife will serve as a tribute to the legendary filmmaker. It truly is a family affair.
