The ensemble cast of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire holding proton packs.
Ghostbusters is one of the rare popular culture franchises that has resonated with audiences for over four decades. When Ivan Reitmam’s original film hit theaters in the summer of 1984, it was unlike any other blockbuster that had preceded it. Ghostbusters was just spooky enough to keep audiences on their toes but deeply silly in a manner rarely seen in popcorn action franchises like Star Wars or Indiana Jones.
5 ‘Ghostbusters: Answer the Call’ Directed by Paul Feig Director Paul Feig faced sizable expectations when he was tasked with retooling the Ghostbusters franchise. Instead of serving as a “legacy sequel” in the vein of Star Wars: The Force Awakens or Creed, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call served as a reboot set within a completely different continuity.
Although it doesn’t pack the same emotional punch that its predecessor did, >Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is still a relatively entertaining supernatural comedy that benefits from the strong chemistry between its cast members. The sequel sees Callie Spengler , her son Trevor , her daughter Phoebe , and her boyfriend Gary Grooberson once again strapping on the Ghostbusters suits when a supernatural entity threatens to unleash a winter storm in the middle of the summer.
In addition to serving as a clever bit of social commentary, this unique take on the antagonist allows for some more creative jump scares and set pieces. Ghostbusters II actually has a great concept for the series’ next villain, as an evil slime emerges from the sewers of New York that feeds on the citizens' negative energy. A final battle set during New Year’s Eve stands out as a highlight in particular.
