Ghost Team (2016) Offers Up Campy Fun

A man who is trapped in the monotonous cycle of adulting seeks to become the newest member of a fictional TV paranormal team. After assembling a team, they trespass onto a large, seemingly abandoned farm searching for evidence of paranormal activity. Sometimes we all need campy fun, and Ghost Team delivers.

Jon Heder stars as “Louis,” a man who realizes that his adult life is not the one he envisioned. He owns a single location copy shop. He chain smokes and dreams of being more, much more. He wants to be a paranormal star—like Jason Hawes and Steve Gonsalves (from the real TV show Ghost Hunters) who make cameos. One day property owner “Mitch” enters requesting 15 laminated “No Trespassing” signs for his “creepy” property that looks like it’s haunted. Louis assembles his team singing to “Dream Weaver” and hoping to hit the paranormal jackpot. Unfortunately, all they have is a crackpot, played by the wonderfully refreshing Amy Sedaris.

Admittedly, this is not a blockbuster film to the caliber of Poltergeist. It’s a low—seriously low—budget film that began streaming a month before its limited release opening. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that with all the emotionally draining news and mega-blockbuster film releases, it’s nice to clear the clutter in our brains by just watching an innocuous film. This is the film to watch.

Okay, so the reviews are weak; the Tomatometer is green. Go in with low expectations, and you will not be disappointed. The irony is that this film nails the boredom and tediousness that paranormal investigations entail. The movie may have received more “star” ratings had a paranormal investigator reviewed it because there are more laughs than reported.

Fair warning, though: IMDb.com places this movie’s genre as merely “Comedy.” Running 83 minutes and rated PG-13, Ghost Team is streaming on Netflix.

Ghost Hunters Returns for Season 10

Jason Hawes and his team of paranormal investigators return for their 10th season on the SyFy Channel, http://www.syfy.com/ghosthunters. The 13-episode season does not have an actual debut date; however, it is sometime in 2015. On average the show draws 1.7 million viewers. Over half of the viewership consists of adults, ages 24-54. The official page on Facebook still shows the Season 9 cast, https://www.facebook.com/GhostHunters.

In other news, former team member Amy Bruni took to Facebook this week cautioning fans that a recent article circulating the Internet claiming that she and fellow ghost hunter, Adam Berry, were fired is false. Citing heavy travel schedules and missing family, Bruni wrote that she was exhausted and made the decision on her own to leave the popular show. She now participates in public investigation events through her company, Strange Escapes, http://www.strange-escapes.com/. Bruni’s post is another great example of “reporters” whipping out sensational falsehoods on the Internet. Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.
