Plot Summary

Two dim-witted roommates, Brad and Alonso, become convinced their apartment is haunted by a female ghost. They decide to document their encounters with the spirit using a camcorder, hoping to gain internet fame. Their amateur ghost-hunting efforts escalate as they attempt to capture evidence, leading to increasingly absurd and terrifying situations.

Critical Reception

Ghost Team One received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many finding its humor juvenile and its scares uninspired. While some appreciated its attempt at a found-footage horror-comedy, the majority felt it failed to deliver on either front, often being described as derivative and lacking originality. Audience reception was similarly lukewarm, with praise often directed at the committed performances of the lead actors.

What Reviewers Say

  • Relies too heavily on gross-out humor and predictable jump scares.

  • The found-footage gimmick feels overused and adds little to the narrative.

  • Despite its flaws, the chemistry between the two leads offers some entertainment value.

Google audience: Audience reviews suggest that while some viewers found the film amusing and enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters, many were disappointed by the lack of genuine scares and the reliance on crude jokes.

Fun Fact

The film was shot entirely on location in a single apartment, adding to its found-footage aesthetic and creating a claustrophobic atmosphere.
