Hello everyone, This is Ultimate Recapped here.
Today I'm going to explain an American supernatural comedy film called" Ghostbusters ", released
in 2016. Don't waste your time, Be ready for some spoilers
ahead.
The film starts with a group of people are taking a tour of the " Aldridge " mansion
in New York City. The tour guide named, Garrett, tells the tourism
that the daughter of the house owner has killed all the members in the house, except her father.
After the house owner knows this, he realizes that his daughter is a disturbed woman so
he decides to lock her in the basement. During talking, a candlestick falls over on
the table near the basement to creep the group out, but it's just part of a trick Garrett
played. But what the group doesn't see is a device
beneath the nightstand that is flickering and vibrating.
Later, as he is closing up shop, Garrett hears a noise near the basement.
The door begins shaking, and he runs for it. Garrett tries to run out of the mansion, but
the doorknob has been heated. He tries to break out a window with a stool
chair but the stool chair is to be thrown back.
After seeing this, Garrett runs back toward the basement.
The floor is filling up with green slime, and the stairs break apart.
Garrett holds on as he sees a ghost rise up from the floor.
Later, the movie cuts at " Columbia University ", Dr. Erin, is so excited because today she
can lecture in the big hall. She heads to the big hall to train alone before
the lecture starts. Meanwhile, she is approached by an old man
named, Ed Mulgrave, a publisher who has a book that Erin wrote some years ago on the
" Existence of ghosts ". She's not proud of having written it, and
she's even less than pleased to learn it has resurfaced.
Erin knows it was done by her former friend and colleague named, Abby.
Meanwhile, Ed approaches Erin because of the haunting at the Aldridge mansion and asks
her to look in on it.
Later, When Erin looks up to Abby's current work in her office, she learns from the university's
dean that she is up for tenure. So now she does what she can to hide her knowledge
of the Existence of ghosts.
After that, Erin finds Abby in her lab with her new work partner Holtzmann, a brilliant
engineer who is also a bit nutty. Erin and Abby are still upset with each other
over the book, and Erin demands Abby take the book off the website Amazon.
During talking, Erin then brings up the Aldridge mansion haunting, inspiring Abby and Holtzmann
to spring into action, because they waiting for this for a long time.
Erin reluctantly joined them because she wants to talk with Abby about the book.
Later, the women go to the Aldridge mansion, when they meet Garrett, who claims that he
has haunting by Aldridge's daughter.
However, the three ladies head into the mansion with some equipment.
The basement has been locked tight while Erin steps on some green slime.
Suddenly, Erin notices that the basement door is now open and she thinks that maybe Abby
makes it and wants to scare her. After that, Abby rejects this while the tool
for catching the ghost wave warns them, and the basement is emitting an eerie blue glow.
They are then face-to-face with the ghost of Aldridge's daughter.
Erin approaches her calmly, but Aldridge's face turns demonic and she spews ectoplasmic
bile all over Erin. The ghost then flies out of the building while
the ladies record a video with Erin proclaiming that ghosts are real.
Unfortunately, the video falls into the university's dean's hands, and he fires Erin for being
a bad representation of the school.
Now that Erin is jobless, she then going to meet Abby and Holtzmann.
Abby suggests she join with them because the ghosts are real, and their dream when they
were a child is possible. Finally, she decides to join Abby and Holtzmann
in their research. Later, Abby and Holtzmann also lose their
job after talking to the dean, who happens to be crazy.
So they steal equipment from the school's lab and decide to open up their own facility.
Later the movie cuts at a subway worker woman named Patty.
She is approached by a weird guy named Rowan. He then walks into the tunnel while Patty
spots him in the security camera. She then has to go into the tunnel to check
something out. Behind her, Rowan plants another device similar
to the one at the Aldridge mansion. Patty then sees a ghost in a prison suit and
she runs like hell away from it.
Later, Rowan returns to his work, as the cleaner in a hotel.
It turns that, he was bullied his whole life, so he has a plan to revenge the universe.
Erin, Abby, and Holtzmann head to find the new location to set up their work, but the
rent is so expensive that they decide to set up shop in a new location above a Chinese
food restaurant. A young man named, Kevin, shows up for a receptionist
job. Erin thinks he's hot, but during the interview,
Kevin proves to be really dumb, Still, they hire him on the spot.
Shortly afterward, they are then visited by Patty, who mentions the ghost she spotted
in the subway. Patty then leads the ladies to the tunnel
where she spotted the ghost. Holtzmann brings along some equipment she
built to catch the ghost as well. There, the ladies meet a man, who is spraying
on the wall. The ladies ask him about the clue of the ghost,
but the man confused the meaning, and then he sprays the ghostbuster symbol on the wall
instead. After that, Patty leads them into the tunnel,
where she used to see the ghost. After that, they see the same ghost that Patty
saw hovering above them. They record the ghost with their HD cams while
Erin is given a proton laser to capture it. The laser isn't strong enough to hold the
ghost down, and the train is coming in fast. The ladies run to safety as the train hits
the ghost, causing them to get splattered with ectoplasm slime while the ghost is stuck
on the train.
The video of the ghost goes viral, and the media dubs the team "Ghostbusters", while
some people have bullied them. Patty then decides to join the team since
she knows how to get around the city, and she provides the team with a vehicle for carrying
equipment. It's a hearse, a vehicle used to carry the
body of a deceased person in a coffin, that she borrowed from her uncle, which only Holtzmann
seems to enjoy.
Cut at the hotel, an old woman staying in the hotel room tells Rowan about her room
having problems as some of the green slimes were shed from the ceiling.
Rowan tells her it was just shed from the air conditioner, but in fact, it leaked from
the ghosts.
Cut to the ladies, Holtzmann shows off some new equipment she made to catch ghosts, including
a new laser gun, a grenade, and a proton glove. Abby takes the new laser gun to test behind
the building, but the gun has more power so it turns out to be dangerous, but the team
thinks it's all cool.
Meanwhile, Rowan heads to the musical theater, while he seems to take something with him
as well.
During that time, the ladies enjoy their new creatives, Erin tells Holtzmann and Patty
about how she knows Abby and why they believe the ghost is real.
Erin says she was bullied when she was a child after she tells them she sees the ghost when
her neighbor died. No one believes in her, but only Abby trusts
her and since then they are best friends. In addition, they make custom music and dance
for their dream to be the ghost catcher.
Later, the ladies watch the Tv show while their video was interesting from the people.
But a man in the Tv show says to their video in the subway, ghost as fake.
However, the ladies didn't unhope because they realize what they did is real.
Immediately, the Ghostbusters is called to investigate a ghostly sighting at a musical
theater. This may be, Rowan is seen planting another
device in the theater when we see him in the scene before.
The ladies head to the theater with their vehicle, but the vehicle was sprayed that
look cool, including the Ghostbuster's symbol as well.
Soon, the ladies arrive at the theater, and they break the road in search of ghosts.
Abby's specter detector goes off near the dressing rooms when she sees another device
in there, like the one in the Aldridge Mansion and the subway.
Meanwhile, Patty is chased by a mannequin possessed by a ghost.
The Ghostbusters hit the mannequin with their proton lasers, releasing a huge flying ghost
monster into the theater. After that, they follow it up to the stage
where a band is performing. The ghost flies out, making everyone think
it's part of the show until the Ghostbusters rush the stage and try to hit it with their
proton lasers. Abby orders the audience to catch her when
she wants to pass them to catch the ghost, and Patty follows, but nobody catches her.
But when Patty gets up and has the ghost perched on her shoulders, while the other three wait
for Patty to be still as they ready to hit it with their proton lasers.
Immediately, Holtzmann pulls out a trap and has the ghost sucked into it.
After safe, everyone cheers the team on, while the rock band starts to their performance
to congratulate as well. Later, the news of the Ghostbusters was heard
by Rowan, making him so angry with them.
Cut at the Ghostbusters, they are then visited by an old scientist, who always thinks that
the team is faking their ghost capture. Erin gets annoyed by him and decides to prove
him by bringing out the trap and releasing the ghost.
Immediately, the ghost flies out and pushes the man out a window as it escapes into the
city.
After the police arrive, the ladies are escorted by Agents to meet with Mayor and his assistant.
There, the mayor is thankful for the Ghostbuster's capture of the ghost but they want the Ghostbusters
to say they are frauds so as to not cause a stir in the city.
In addition, the mayor said that if having any cases of ghosts in the city, the cop will
solve them.
After that, the Ghostbusters return to their headquarters, but they didn't care about the
mayor's order, instead, they made more weapons to catch the ghost.
Soon, the team is alerted to a new ghost sighting in the city, while Erin is interested that
there is a pattern to all the appearances in the city.
It is discovered that all the devices found are along leylines that intersect at the " Mercado
Hotel ", where is Rowan is working. In addition, the ladies find a picture of
the staff, and Patty recognizes Rowan among them, knowing he used to go the subway.
After knowing this, the Ghostbusters heads to the hotel and find Rowan in the basement
with a device he built in which he plans to release a horde of ghosts upon the city as
payback for being constantly mistreated. Abby tries to convince Rowan to stop his plans
until she mentions the police are on their way.
Rowan then grabs two pillars and electrocutes himself before the police arrive.
After the police arrived, Erin and Abby spot that Rowan has a copy of their book, as Erin,
takes it back. The mayor's assistant also arrived there and
says thank you to the Ghostbusters, but she then orders the agents to capture the Ghostbusters
outside, because the mayor didn't want to stir in the city.
Later, the basement is then closed off, but the specter detector is left behind and goes
haywire.
On the way return to their place, Erin was followed by a man, who messes with her and
reminds her about the past. Erin's patience is run out, so she hits him
with the face causing him knocked out but everything that happens has been recorded
in the camera. Soon, Erin's news was dug after her video
has shown on the Tv. In addition, she was bullied by the people,
so she decides to leave the Ghostbusters for a while.
At home, Erin reads through a copy of her book that Rowan was keeping before he died,
to orchestrate his plan. She looks through the drawings and sees that
he had always planned to electrocute himself so that he can become a ghost and eventually
lead the ghosts and terrorize the world.
During that time, at headquarters, Abby hears a knocking at the door, but no one is there.
There is a rattling on the sink's pipe, and she sees a green glow in the drain, while
Rowan's ghost goes out and possesses Abby.
During that, Erin tries to call the headquarters but nobody responds.
Meanwhile, Abby starts breaking Holtzmann's equipment while Holtzmann tries to stop her,
Abby grabs her by the throat to dangle her out a window.
Immediately, Patty intervenes and rescues Holtzmann.
After Holtzmann is safe, Patty smacks Rowan out of Abby, and Rowan flies out over the
building. Unfortunately, Kevin pulls up on his motorcycle
in front of the headquarters causing Rowan to have the advantage over him and possess
him. Finally, Rowan rides off back to the hotel.
At the same time, Erin runs to a restaurant where she finds the Mayor and his assistant
eating. She frantically tries to warn them to evacuate
the city, but she comes off as crazy, so she is taken away.
Soon, Rowan in Kevin's body makes it to the hotel basement and attacks the two guards
standing outside. He manages to break the barriers keeping the
ghosts trapped to allow them to fly free, beginning the ghost invasion upon the city.
A portal opens in the sky, releasing more and more ghosts upon the city.
Abby, Holtzmann, and Patty gear up and head off the fight ghosts.
They run into the city but none other than a ghost called, Slimer, the green ghost eating
from a hot dog cart. Slimer then steals their vehicle and drives
off. Abby and Patty get ready to shoot at the car,
but Holtzmann says the equipment on top of the car is basically a nuke so they decide
to free him.
They then spot a bunch of ghosts that look like giant parade floats, which they in the
balloons. The ghost float in a giant shape, while the
ladies fire the laser gun and kill many of the balloons.
Unfortunately, one of the balloons shows up and presses down on the three, rendering them
immobile. Immediately, Erin saves them by popping the
balloon with a knife and freeing them.
Meanwhile, Rowan in Kevin's body is faced off against dozens of the soldiers.
He plays with the soldiers and manages them to dance before he freezes the police and
military.
Cut to the Ghostbusters, they face off against dozens of ghosts, including Aldridge's daughter,
the subway ghost, and the theater ghost The Ghostbuster kills the ghost one by one
until the ghosts are wiped out from their way.
Soon, the Ghostbusters head to the hotel to find a still-possessed Kevin having frozen
the police and military.
Rowan then leaves Kevin's body while he asks the Ghostbusters which form that they want
to see in the next. The Ghostbusters says he should transfer to
a cute ghost or small and beautiful. Immediately, Rowan decides to take on a familiar,
more friendly form is known as the Ghostbusters logo.
However, he grows into a humongous beast that bursts out of the hotel and begins wreaking
havoc on the city.
Now, the Ghostbusters learns the only way is to destroy the portal that Rowan made in
the hotel. The Ghostbusters return to the hotel and try
to destroy the portal with the laser guns, but it not working because they don't have
enough power.
Meanwhile, they see Slimer and other ghosts riding down the street, causing them to get
the idea to hit the vehicle's nuclear reactor into the portal to reverse it and eventually
close it. After that, they fire their lasers at the
ghosts to have them steer into the portal. The plan works, and the ghosts start getting
pulled back into the portal. But, Rowan with the gigantic body, holds on
to two buildings against the suck, so the team hits him in the groin with their lasers
to loosen his grip. He starts to get sucked in, but he grabs Abby
and pulls her into the portal. No choice, Erin hooks herself up to a wire
and jumps into the portal to help Abby. She fires her laser at Rowan's hand to release
Abby while he is pulled into the abyss. Before the portal totally closes, Holtzmann
and Patty pull the two out, and they return with totally beached white hair.
After everything back to normal, the mayor continues to deny the ghost problem, but he
secretly gives the Ghostbusters funding to continue their work.
Now, the Ghostbusters upgrade their headquarters to a firehouse.
During that, Patty's uncle then pulls in with a new vehicle but he's not happy about what
happened to the other one.
During the credits, we see the team being visited by Holtzmann's mentor named, Rebecca,
who inspired her to be crazy. At the same time, Patty then calls the team
to the roof, while the city's buildings are lit up to say "I Love GB", which means that
I Love Ghostbuster.
After the credits scenes, the team is doing some work while Patty is listening to a recording.
Erin walks over to see what's up as Patty simply asks, What's Zuul?
