Same OLD ghost hunter done ad infinitum!

Warning: Spoilers
What can one pontificate upon when one has viewed a film whose core basis has been done too many times to count.

A group of ghost hunters enter a location which we are informed is the "MOST haunted" in the U.S. We are then informed they are the first ghost hunters afforded this opportunity. How was it determined it is the most haunted if no one has ever been there checking out that aspect of it ever before?

All inexperienced ghost hunter can afford ritzy offices and an obviously limitless budget for expensive equipment!

Group accesses property, spiritual shenanigans ensue and then we find out aliens are inextricably woven into the plot.

Best scene in the movie: Pregnant woman in hallway about to assailed by ghost that is really just a black and white CGI composite when a bright light appears under the door. Door flies off hinges and a plasma ball enters the corridor and dis-incorporates the specter. Plasma erupts from the ball and we see Jeff Bridges and Tron appear and solidify. Boldly they step through the door to bravely face what lies beyond with their discs in hand!

I never saw that coming at all! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! President Warren G. Harding as the thin man was an incredible casting decision!

I am now connecting my tongue to a 12 volt battery to punish myself for watching this!
