AT THE MOVIES #959                       FAITH BASED

 

Simon Morris reviews three films all dependent, more or less, on audiences already softened up to like them.

 

 

 

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire sees the return of the new cast – and most of the old cast – of the rebooted franchise.   Stars Paul Rudd (Antman) and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) join old favourites Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray as the Ghostbusters get back to the Big Apple.

 

 

 

  

Immaculate sees teen favourite Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) play an American nun in Italy, who finds that her new spiritual home isn’t as safe as she thought.   Produced by Sweeney herself.

 

 

 

And Road House is a remake of an Eighties thriller starring Patrick Swayze, no stranger to ghosts himself.   Stars Jake Gyllenhaal, with guest appearances by MMA star Conor McGregor and singer Post Malone.  Available on Prime Video.
