Ghostbusters (2016)

Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing
that ghosts are real.

A few years later, Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. When ghosts invade Manhattan, Gilbert reunites with Yates, teaming up with a nuclear engineer, Jillian Holtzmann, and a subway worker, Patty Tolan, to save the world from a mysterious evil and powerful demon known as Rowan who can exercise control over human forms.

Critic Reviews:

• " Ghostbusters is a genuinely entertaining film … quite funny, actually spooky at times and even fun and exciting. " – Damond Fudge

• " It's as if, in exorcizing the original's mi­sogyny, Ghostbusters has at last managed to find the soul it thought it had all along. " – Noah Berlatsky

• " What Feig and company did by inverting gender expectations was create a reboot with intent and purpose, bringing a wholly new vibrancy and dynamic to expected events. " – Ryan Syrek
