Ghostheads

This could have been so much better. It focuses mostly on one depressed guy from New Jersey, a very odd engaged couple and a weird man from Arizona. It does, however, have some good cast interviews. Sadly, it doesn't offer much more than that. Really not worth watching unless you have a ton of free time and bored.

The film should have broaden itself to more Ghostbuster fans around the world, not just a few. The film also drags on and doesn't seem to ever end. I'm sure the director tried hard and worked with what he had - it just was a major let down for those who love Ghostbusters. This is a one and done watch for me.

"Ghostheads" came at just the right time to show that not all "Ghostbusters" fans are mean Internet ragebeasts. Personally, I'd walked into this movie expecting little more than a few interviews from the original creative minds (Aykroyd, Reitman, etc.) and some images of cosplayers. And there is that, but this movie isn't set out to poke fun at those who strap on proton packs in public. This is all about how a supernatural comedy from 30 years ago can have a positive impact on people's lives - and more than that, how they can use it to promote goodness in their community. I recognized a few faces from Ghostbusters messageboards and YouTube channels, and their stories are . . . is life-affirming too strong a word? Either way, prepare to be moved. This one's got surprising depth.

8/10

If you ever asked yourself "Who are these Ghostbusters cosplayers and why do they love this movie so much?", this surprisingly fun, positive and moving documentary explores the fandom, friendships and personal stories of the cosplayers/devotees of the classic 80s movies 'Ghostbusters' and 'Ghostbusters II' and the new reboot 'Ghostbusters (2016)'. This film is not 'Trekkies' which had attempted to make fun or laugh with the audience at the fans of the Star Trek franchise. A great tribute to the fans who commit their time, money and schedules to make people feel great in their communities. Great personal, heartwarming interviews with the fans from around the world and features interviews from the celebrities and creators of the original films. A great companion piece on Netflix to watch with the original movies and to watch before the new Ghostbusters reboot.

I knew this movie was like a Ghostbusters version of 'Heart of an Empire', but I wasn't expecting to get right-in-the-feels. As a casual fan of the franchise (and a huge Star Wars fan) it's interesting to look into a different fandom window. What makes Ghostbuster fans unique is that they put their *own* names on their uniforms, chew on that for a bit. Packed with cast and crew interviews, the weaving of the stories is handled very well. Great doc! You can keep reading this or you can just check it out for yourself on Netflix. Go on. Go see it.

My girlfriend and I decided to take a chance on this movie and were pleasantly surprised! Neither of us are into Ghostbusters and found it very interesting to learn the human side of how people can become so passionate about a movie. This documentary offers a glimpse into a world I will never be apart of.

The film follows several fans, some who seem to take their obsession too far and others who seem to have been saved by having something to give meaning to their lives. The stories move along at a quick pace and kept me entertained for the entire length.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone that is slightly curious about what sort of person would throw on a proton pack and dedicate their life Ghostbusters.
