GHOST TEAM ONE (Paramount, 2013) D: Ben Peyser, Scott Rutherford, w/ Carlos Santos, J.R. Villarreal. Rating: N Blu-ray package: N Rating: N
If you’re massively baked, you may get a laugh from Ghost Team One’s amateurish hijinks, but everyone else will likely sit in stony silence, possibly mourning the waste of an odd idea.
On the same night that they discover their house is haunted, two guys (Carlos Santos, J.R. Villarreal) go after the same girl (Meghan Falcone), who gets hot at the thought of ghosts.
The ghost turns out to be that of a once-famed high-end hooker, now horny from beyond the grave.
The trio decide to make a documentary.
The faux doc and occasional security cam film provide the usual crappy found-footage visuals, the comedy focuses largely on wanking and the guys’ witless dick-centric banter, and the acting relies on yelling. Eventually, a climax emerges that feels like it belongs in a different, equally bad movie.
The extras’ on-set footage is shot through a camera strapped to a small dog. The results are on a par with the movie.
EXTRAS On-set footage, deleted scenes, bloopers, video diary. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese audio and subtitles.
