Ghost Team One - Operazione Fantasma

Look, this movie is not going to win awards, it's not scary and it's juvenile, but it made me laugh when I was in a bad mood.

Okay, I like oddball, off the wall, low budget movies. I can find humor in places most people don't and I don't require drugs or alcohol to do it. For this film I just don't get it. Another reviewer compared this to Naked Gun....., wonder what roll he had in the making/producing of this movie??? Save yourself, this starts out slow and stays there for 90% of the film. Yes there are a couple funny moments and when the "climax" arrives it makes you chuckle, but that's it. You will never get this time back in your life, so seriously go buy some paint and watch it dry, you will thank me. I gave it 2 stars as I am in a generous mood today :)

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.

Ghost Team one is filmed in the documentary format but thankfully not another generic brain dead found footage feature.

90% comedy 10% horror it tells the story of two room mates who appear to have a haunting in their flat. Bringing in their new mysterious Latino friend they set about installing cameras to see whats really going on.

The movie is silly, with obnoxious characters, childish dialogue and not much in the way of content. It makes up for this with a degree of charm originality and unexpected laughs.

Motivated by sexual desire this ghost brings lots of very puerile humor to the table. Sex, erections, boobs and spectral copulation make up the most of the comedy themes, yet somehow this works better than you'd expect.

If you can get past just how annoying one of the leads is then you might find yourself having some fun here despite it being plain silly and with a rather cringe inducingly daft finale.

You can do worse, but don't expect much in the realms of horror.

The Good:

Some laughs to be had

The Bad:

Some really obnoxious characters

Dodgy ending

I got only 18 minutes into the film before my braincells started to give out on me. For the sake of your sanity don't watch this dribble. It's marked as Horror in Amazon but it should be comedy the crappy kind. I normally stick it through to the end in every movie I see but this movie I couldn't.
