Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Film| Cert: 12A | ★★★✩✩
Mixing saccharine nostalgia and slightly more modern ideas, Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is what one gets when a franchise finally throws in the towel and gives its fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for all along. Written by Reitman and Gil Kenan, the film stars Stranger Things alum Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House), Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon (The Leftovers).
After falling on hard times, single mother Callie (Coon) decides to move herself and her two children Trevor (Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna) to the creepy old farmhouse left to her by her recently deceased father. Callie soon catches the eye of local school teacher and seismologist Mr. Grooberson (Rudd). When things start to go bump in the night at the old farm, the children find themselves batting ghosts, monsters and all manner of unsightly creatures. Despite their best efforts, the young Ghostbusting team might soon need a more qualified helping hand when things start to get monumentally out of control.
