It’s day 4 of the special Halloween edition of Netflix Flick Pick and I think it’s time to shift gears a little bit. So far I’ve given you a selection of straight Rated R horror films but what if you wanted to watch something with the kids. Don’t worry tonight’s Netflix Flick Pick, Ghostbusters, has got you covered.
Written by Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramos, and directed by the legendary Ivan Reitman this paranormal comedy delivers ghosts, demons, gods and a giant monster intent on destroying the city. Best of all it does it all while staying family friendly so you don’t have to put the kids to bed in order to watch. Heck dress them up as Ghostbusters and turn it into a full blown Halloween party.
Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver, the all star cast delivers even beyond lofty exoectations. Bill Murray especially delivers one of his funniest performances ever, which should be enough to make you run to your TV and start streaming immediately. It’s not just Murray though, Aykroyd and Ramis’ script allows for everyone to shine and Reitman deftly balances the inspired comedy with enough horror to make things tense and keep the stakes high.
Dan Aykroyd is working on a script for a third installment in the franchise but it’s been confirmed that Bill Murray will not be a part of any such endeavor. Not sure that it can be done without the legendary actor and star of the first two films but here’s hoping it turns out well. Until then enjoy the original classic with all four members of the Ghostbusters that taught you the lesson to one of life’s most important questions, “Who you gonna call?”
