Rating: Summary: An enjoyable piece of sleaze Review: 3 hot japanese supermodels play a trio of ghostbusters in an erotic comedy. Basically it is just fluff. There is not any hardcore action though and there is a story, so this is not porn.
Rating: Summary: I've decided Review: After watching this movie a total of 1.5 times, and talking to some of my friend who I have let borrow it, we have come to the conclusion that Ghosthustlers is, in fact, porn with a plot. And you know, the sad thing is, my friends and I are 14/15 years old, just buying it to look for something funny. The movie quality, itself, is bad too! The picture looks like a comcorder and the sound is nothing different. I'm a big supporter of TokyoPop and thats why I initially bought this, but please, KEEP YOUR MONEY!

Rating: Summary: All that you expect--and a bit more! Review: DVD of a Japanese TV series featuring gorgeous supermodel Senna Matsuda and two other lesser Japanese babe icons. Basically a low budget Ghostbusters set in high school with heavy sexual overtones. High school built on site of haunted whorehouse leads to schoolgirls becoming sexually possessed causing nudity, promiscuity, and phallic slugs crawling around the restrooms. (Rather like Cronenberg's Shivers!). Our three heroines are members of a high school paranormal society who are called in to fight the sexual evil. Budget is real low, so the ghostbusting equipment looks like vaccums with flashing lights on em. The penis like slugs are grossly well done, but everything else looks bargain basement.... There is some (topless) nudity but entirely from other bit role actresses. Minimal violence. No obscenity, but definitely not for kids. Despite it's cheapness, this is not filmed poorly. Sound is fine, though only in 2 channel stereo. Film quality is excellent. In Japanese with well done English subtitles. No extra features. Recommended? Yes---plot is actually reasonably intricate (more so than the average Buffy episode), the penis monsters have a huge amount of camp appeal, and the heroines are most easy to look at. And Ms Matsuda is garbed in a bikini and shorts at one point, which can only be a good thing! Not Citizen Kane, or even Ghostbusters, but worth a look for fans of low budget horror and Japanese pop culture.
Rating: Summary: I was robbed! Review: I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but it did not even meet my low expectations. The movie description on the buying info page is accurate enough, but what they don't tell you is how lame it comes off. When this movie starts up, you will wonder if you somehow got somebody's home video burned on to DVD. The video quality is shockingly bad with noticable pixelization (strangely, the bit rate is very high and I did not notice much in the way of compression artifacts). There is a cheesy quality to the video that makes me think of camcorders in the back yard. The audio has a similar lack of professional quality. In some scenes there is noticable echo from the room they are shooting in. The plot, dialogue, and acting are of similar quality. The plot is kind of a mix between Ghostbusters and some sort of USA Up All Night flick (with slightly less censoring), except [worse]. Most slasher movie directors would be ashamed to have such a poorly put together movie! Oh, and the special effects were some of the worst I have ever seen. They would have been better off with guys under sheets. Don't buy this movie, I am very sorry that I did. If you are interested in Asian supernatural movies, check out Mr. Vampire instead. It is a Chinese vampire movie and it is very good.

Rating: Summary: It Wants To Be Manga Review: OK, this movie looks pretty funny on the shelf of an online store. I mean, the heroins are super models, and it has ghosts and its supposedly funny. 'Ghosthustelrs' has is comical moments, but online, they fail to tell people that this is not a COMEDY movie, but EROTIC COMEDY/HORROR movie. Changes things, ne? I don't want to ruin the movie for y'all because its pretty good, but lemme just point out some things that you should know when buying this: 1) THERE IS NUDITY..DON"T WATCH WITH PARENTS 2) The monsters are SLIMY reproductions of the "male organ" (pretty gross, yeah) 3) There is lots of sexual sighing and things, so don't watch when parents could hear. 4) They DO swear. 5) I RATE IS A VERY VERY HARD PG-13. Think twice about buying this. I'm only warning you!! The movies itslef, was made pretty well, I mean, good plot line and all. Know I know most of you have read of bout...'a mixture of Sailor Moon and Ghostbusters...' What they don't include in that combo is Sex and the City. It SHOULD read like this '...a sick mixture of Sailor Moon, Sex and the City, and Ghostbusters...' Considers yourselfs warned and in all seriousness...THIS SHOULD BE RATED LIKE 16 AND UP!

Rating: Summary: It Wants To Be Manga Review: This movie is about as bad as it gets. While the actors and actresses are all very attractive, the poor quality of the acting is actually distracting. Beyond that, the "special effects" are outdone by even Ed Wood. Watching this I was reminded of low budget Nickelodeon. The problem with that is this is in no way meant for kids as the "Ghosthustlers" are dealing with "erotomaniac spirits". The ghosts are simply super imposed (badly), and what's worse, they are dealt with by their special ghosthustling equipment which are two vacuum cleaners with vegetable steamers for pots glued onto them. The writing was so bad I actually felt insulted. Take the attitude of "Saved By The Bell", the style of "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and the tension of "The Andy Griffith Show" and this is what you get. Avoid this movie!
