Ghostheads Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
FlashCallahan The term Ghosthead is used for a devout fan of all things Ghostbusters. They collect every item of memorabilia, go to conventions, the set of the reboot, and each state has their own sector of Ghosthead, as depicted by the different patches that they wear.The documentary is a fascinating insight to fans who go beyond the norm to show their love for the film. And when they are on their own, in the vox pop sense of the documentary, they are genuinely interesting people....a little extreme in some instances ( I think the his name was Chace, but the guy who takes his daughter to school in the Ecto- 1), but hey, it's their passion, so who am I to judge?But the documentary takes quite an interesting term when these fans actually mix with each other. It feels that they are in competition with each other, and suddenly it doesn't seem like the fun they should be having.Their is no clear evidence by physical acts in the documentary, but there are signs of body language that states different.But the biggest reason to see this is the scene where Chace meets with Peter, the first Ghosthead, who even played an extra in Ghostbusters II. It's one of the most uncomfortable situations I've seen in recent time, and again, it's down to body language.It's clear that Chace is in awe of the first Ghosthead, and Peter looks clearly uncomfortable to be in his company. It gives the documentary a dark edge, and makes it all the more watchable.Other than that, it's your usual talking heads from stars of the original, and for once, it's genuinely interesting, and you can see the love the stars have for the film.
DoctorVenkman This provides some nice insight into the great things that the Ghostbusters community does for each other and for others. Although it focused a little too much on one individual and it would've been nicer to see more groups and members given the spotlight a bit more. I wish the moments where people talk about wives not liking it or "needing to keep it separate" from your wife would have ended up on the cutting room floor. I feel like one of the intentions of this documentary was to show that the "overdoing-it nerd" stereotype is not true, and I feel like these conversations went against that idea. Ghostheads, as a community, do great things and help others and, at least in cases I'm familiar with, our wives fully support what we do. Overall, it definitely captures the spirit of who we are and what we do and is an entertaining look at the world of Ghostheads.
rawk-65057 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.
brettedgerton The team behind Ghostheads definitely put a lot of their own personal time and effort into this. They really wanted to show exactly what being involved in a fandom can be all about. Knowing one of the producers from years past and his enthusiasm and passion for Ghostbusters has really shown in this documentary. Let it be known that he does not make this a self serving documentary at all, even for the amount of dedication he has to this franchise, these individuals, and this fandom. If you sit back and take this documentary for what it really is, it can show you just how anyone, from any background can get involved and create a community for themselves to foster good ideas, to help people, and let anyone be who they want to be. We are all different, and that's OK. It is communities like these that can provide us support in times we might need it the most.
