Ghostheads (2016)

a documentary on Netflix July, 2016

This film sat on my queue for a while.  I decided to avoid this streaming service's reviews, watch the 2016 Ghostbusters movie and then watch Ghostheads.  I was surprised at how much I liked this documentary (and the 2016 movie).  Ghostheads is well-paced and energetic.  Interviews with actors, directors and ghostheads* (*people who dress as Ghostbusters and attend conventions) were interwoven expertly. I actually did not realize that the fans of the two older Ghostbusters movies were so positive concerning the 2016 version. The internet had led me in the opposite direction. The editing of this documentary kept the pace moving along with the soundtrack. While dressing up or being fascinated by a fictional character may seem juvenile to some, the people in this movie used this fascination for good.
