Profile of Ghostbusters

The mood of Ghostbusters is humorous, offbeat, and witty. The plot centers around ghosts, misfits, and supernatural occurences. It features grossout humor and irreverent humor. Ghostbusters is a comedy, sci-fi, and fantasy movie. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. The pacing is fast. Ghostbusters is set in New York. It happens in the 1980s. The musical score is pop and rock. Ghostbusters is known for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. It is especially suggested for a date night and teens. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Summary of Ghostbusters

When Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murrary) and his Columbia University colleagues (Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson) are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. Although the three parascientists are idle for awhile, their television advertisements finally pay off when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) contracts them. It seems her apartment has become the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorizing New York City. Soon they're going to her rescue, trying to rid the city of the slimy creatures. Ghostbusters hit US screens in June of 1984 and went on to become one of the most successful comedy films of all time, spawning a sequel and a popular animated series.
