Awesome Movie
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This movie is hilarious. I was really surprised at the quality of the acting. Carlos Santos as Sergio, J.R. Villarreal as Brad, Fernanda Romero as Fernanda and Tony Cavalero as Chuck are all outstanding. They are completely believable and have superb chemistry bouncing off one another.Sergio, Brad and Chuck are sharing a house. Sergio and Brad are best mates, Brad is obsessed with sex and his male parts, Chuck is a rather unbalanced housemate who celebrates his sobriety with a daily video log. Chuck is rather volatile and unpredictable with his behaviour. Sergio and Brad throw a house party, Sergio believes he has seen a ghost in the house and is completely terrified. Fernanda is really interested and wants to help see if the house is haunted. Fernanda is absolutely stunning and both Sergio and Brad want her for themselves.They form a ghost hunting trio and start investigating the history of the house. Fernanda brings over a Ouija board to try to connect with the spirit. Chuck's behaviour starts becoming more odd than normal.This movie is a found footage type, with Sergio, Brad and co all being filmed by a friend. It is the best movie of this type I have seen. I am not a fan of comedy but this incorporates horror and comedy, suspense and innuendo beautifully. I wish there was a sequel!!
I was lured in by the movie cover/poster and with the enticement of this being a comedy with a supernatural twist. However, I had not heard about the movie prior to finding it and picking it up. But still, a horror comedy with a ghostly element, what is there not to like?Right, well I must start off by saying that "Ghost Team One" is as such not an overly bad movie. It just didn't turn out to be what I had expected. Sure, there are some good moments and some good enough laughs to be found here and there. But the movie as a whole just didn't turn out to be all that impressive or interesting.What worked in favor of the movie was the characters and the acting talents recruited to portray these characters. Sure, the characters were generic to the core, but there was just still something lovable and funny about them. I will say that it was Carlos Santos who carried most of the movie singlehandedly.The story in "Ghost Team One" was probably what killed the enjoyment for me, because it didn't turn out to be a rather interesting or captivating storyline. So writers Andrew Knauer and Arthur Pielli hardly gave directors Ben Peyser and Scott Rutherford all that much to work with. And that also transcended onto the acting talents, because they had little to work with in terms of a fulfilling script."Ghost Team One" is hardly an effects movie, and makes use of very few effects actually. But then again, it is not the type of movie that has to rely on special effects.Now, there were the occasional hilarious scene here and there, but they were not enough to levitate the movie out of the mediocre fast lane.I managed to sit through the entire movie, although I was pressed at times in terms of focusing on the movie and concentrating on the movie. Once you have seen "Ghost Team One" the first time, chances are slim to none that you will return to watch it again.
So this low budget feature actually impressed me a lot. Somewhat parodying, Paranormal Activity and other films that came after it, the movie gives the genre a frat boy spin to it with four dudes living in a haunted house with a ghost who seems to be attracted to sexual energy, and two of the four boys attempt to produce a documentary about it in order to impress a hot chick who seems to be oddly interested in the haunting. Put together really well, the characters were really cool and interesting. While mostly trying to be funny the movie did have some eerie ghost story moments that I loved. The three main actors on the poster had really good chemistry and played their frat boy stereotypes really well. If you are a fan of the found footage genre, than I would put this on the list.
I watched this movie on Netflix so my expectations were extremely low. It went above my expectations as just another dumb movie to just pass the time because I've had quite a good few laughs from it. It's one of those movies thats just enjoyably dumb.I like to think of this movie as a mix between "Paranormal Activity" and "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil". It's got a few hit and miss jokes as well as a little bit of horror in it. If it makes you laugh in just the first few minutes then you might find this movie enjoyable. Just don't put too much expectation thinking this is a high budget movie.It's got a good cast of actors who I think played the characters perfectly. The story is pretty straight forward, two buddies investigating a haunted house. This is one of those movies that is just worth checking out if you got nothing else to watch on Netflix.
