Film Review - Ghostbusters (1984)

Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as college students thrown out over their experiments that decide to become paranormal pest exterminators called “Ghostbusters”, but after their exploits make them a success, they have to deal with a more powerful ghost, one that could bring about the apocalypse.


Ghostbusters serves as almost a model for how comedies of this type should be made, on one hand the three leads as well as Ernie Hudson are very funny bouncing off each other as well as a fun chemistry between Murray and Sigourney Weaver and on the other, the film contains some great scenes of fear as well as some terrific special effects work done by Richard Edlund.


In closing, this is great fun and deserves a 4 out of 5.
