About this movie

New York City has a problem: paranormal occurrences have been plaguing the city in increasing numbers, and the only people who know this are three extraordinarily bright, slightly offbeat NYU parapsychologists who have lost their research grant. Forced out of academia, they start their own business. In this 1985 Oscar® nominee for Best Special Effects, Drs. Venkman (Bill Murray), Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Spengler (Harold Ramis) set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, haunts and poltergeists for money. But even the spirit exterminators are severely tested when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) and her weird neighbor (Rick Moranis) become possessed by demons living in their building. Soon every spook in the city is loose, and our heroes face their supreme challenge at a rooftop demonic shrine. © 1984 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Watching this on my android tv, there is a noticeable delay in the video to audio quality which is incredibly frustrating. This happens literally from the start of the film and there's no way to change it. Film however, is a classic

My condolences to those of you who weren't alive to experience the awesomeness that was the 80s: THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. It's SO brilliant, that to this day, it's still being shown on the big screen in selected theaters around Hallowe'en, so if you see it coming, GO SEE IT. With a cracking script penned by Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler, it's captivating from the get go, and Venkmen SHINES throughout but especially in meeting with the mayor and when he works the crowd: If you're not chanting, screaming and applauding with the rest, i don't want to know you. I got it at £3.99 HD, so hold out and keep checking Play Store (don't be the person who buys at the wrong time then complains about pricing). You just get the movie but I like it that way since extras just detract from the movie magic, love. CLASSIC and ETERNAL. P.S. ALSO GET THE FANTASTIC SOUNDTRACK!! :D AND ALL THE MERCH! XD
