David McK (3932 KP) rated Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) in Movies
Nov 28, 2021 (Updated Dec 20, 2025)
Ghostbusters: The video game in 2009.
At that stage, it was - unofficially - touted as Ghostbusters 3.
The (atrocious) remake was in 2006.
This was released in 2021 - so over 30 years since Ghostbusters 2 - and is now the 'official' third entry in the franchise.
Having said that, there is absolutely no mention of Ghostbusters 2 during it, so you could easily skip that if you wanted a rewatch before going to see this.
This follows a new family, who find they have ties to a Ghostbuster of yore, when they are evicted from their tenement and inherit a farmhouse out in the rural countryside: a farmhouse that has secrets of its own, as does the surrounding neighbourhood.
It's also no secret that this relies heavily on nostalgia for the original and that family is at the core of the movie, written - as it is - by the son of the late Ivan Reitman (Jason Reitman) - and paying an elegiac tribute to the late Harold Ramis (1 of the original 4 Ghostbusters - Egon Spengler - , who passed in 2014.
Oh, and the post (not mid) -credits scene? Goes some way to making up for how Ernie Hudson was treated in the original, when he saw his scenes drastically cut from what was intended.
