I hate for the first comment to be a negative one, but for something that’s “10 years and nearly $20,000 in the making” I’m really not impressed at all.

In this article, [http://www.redandblack.com/2010/09/06/ghostbusters-gets-classic-city-revival/](http://www.redandblack.com/2010/09/06/ghostbusters-gets-classic-city-revival/) they say "Then, a crystallizing moment came after seeing a particularly bad, fan-made “Ghostbusters”-inspired film and the realization that, maybe, he could do one better.

“I was like, ‘OK, it’s time,’” he said."

I don’t know which fan film they’re referring to, there haven’t been that many, but this doesn’t look much better than any of the early ones.

I’ll try to reserve judgment until it’s released, but I certainly haven’t been won over by that trailer.

[The Boogieman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/the-boogieman) itself looks really good. I want to see more of that.

Hah…hmmmmm…well…I’ll say it. The Boogyman sounds like a 13 year old smoker 🙂 . Maybe an echo effect or something that alters the pitch or something?

Props for the intentional reverse negative shot of Ecto at 1:03.

I like the short moment of them running on the sidewalk, with the guy hold the trap out in front of him like he’s scared of it.

Agreed!!!

The whole thing looks like fun and i love the fan made movies, just wish they’d look as if they were the RGB’S with colored costumes and packs like the Palm Coast Busters!!!

Either way i cant wait to see this 😃

The humor and props look solid. While it might not have the best production/direction, I actually think there’s some good charisma here. Plus, its nice to see a foursome that’s so entrenched in the original four.

I’m surprised that with all the time and money that it wasn’t shot in 24p, and it looks like the camera will be a bit unstable, but I’m still pumped. GB Fan Films have come a long way in the last year or so. I’d take this, GB Italia, SLC, and the current crop any day over what we had going for a while there.

The acting and comedic timing certainly doesn’t look the greatest, but I gotta say…

“He actually calls himself [the Boogieman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/the-boogieman)?”

…solid gold IMO.

Can’t go wrong with a live-action Boogie, either.

Apparently the movie is over 45 minutes long too. That’s a big chuck of fan film- its no wonder it took so long.

I’m definitely going to watch it when it’s completed. The acting isn’t quite professional-grade but it works fine for a fan-film. The effects you have so-far are solid, the props all look great as does your Ectomobile and it looks like you’ve got some great shooting locations in-addition to the traditional “interior-office”, “interior-campus building/after-hours place of business” and “exterior-campus building/after-hours place of busines” (not bashing, it’s just those are usually the only places amateur film-makers with no budget can afford to shoot).

Am I reading this trailer properly though? Are you trying to portray Venkman, Stanz, Spengler and Zeddemore? I know your name patches say otherwise but that one guy is clearly doing his best Egon impression and you have the 3-white-guys/1-black-guy dynamic as well.

A spoonful of standard archetypes makes the medicine go down.

$20,000?!!! Where the hell did it all go?!!

Not understanding why “[Peter Venkman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/peter-venkman)” has a Justin Bieber haircut. Wish you guys would have altered the voice of the Boogeyman in a computer program.

But the proton streams and [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) look cool.

I’m going to assume they are counting the amount of money that went into the car and all the GB gear as part of the grand total even if they weren’t created explicitly for the film.
