If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? The Ghostbusters, yes – but the strangest thing that ought to be exterminated is the irresistible urge of studios to keep churning out awful sequels to the classic 1984 comedy horror film. The latest such Ghostbusters feature sequel was helmed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, the original director of the first two films in the franchise.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife insipidly relies on cameos from the original cast and the resurrection of the original villain of the first film, Gozer the god of destruction, in a hapless bid to recreate the magic. But nostalgia alone can't compensate for the awkward acting, poor cast chemistry, and above all, frightfully bad writing for what's supposed to be a comedy but is vehementlyfunny despite desperately trying to be so. The action component of this action-comedy is not exciting either.The new protagonist, Phoebe , is the socially awkward but very smart teenage granddaughter of Dr Egon Spengler, the deceased member of the original Ghostbusters team.
There are a couple of mid-credits scenes which appear to set up yet another sequel, but God knows who will want to watch
