It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreI really loved watching this show when it was on the air and sadly I have to watch it on netflix now. This show was pretty entertaining and loved watching the different locations and castles. There did always seem to be a castle somewhere that needed investigating.I watch a lot of movies like this and love horror films also. I think this show was better then the original ghost hunters. I am unsure why they took this show off the air. The crew they used changed a lot but the new members were quickly likable and enjoyable. I think that this show would have done well for a few more seasons. This show is great for anyone who likes ghost stories and castles. Did I mention they see a lot of castle? lol
View MoreLet me state, for the record, that I am a fan of paranormal/ghost hunting type shows, and my opinion here is not based on personal beliefs.That being said, I hated "Ghost Hunters International." Not only does it lack the tension and excitement of the original, but it seems that Barry Fitzgerald and co. draw their conclusions from a minimal amount of investigation.They'll wander around a haunted location for a few hours during the night with their night-vision cams, etc., and chatter pointlessly throughout. On top of that, they don't seem to "investigate" every room or even the areas of the location that are reported to have the most paranormal activity. Then, based on their brief "hunt," they'll prematurely conclude whether or not a location is haunted.It may be that this show suffers from a lack of skilled editing, something that shows such as "Paranormal Witness" do not. Besides that, however, it really seems that the investigators are amateurs. No repeat viewing for me.
View MoreThis show is only good for a few laughs and that's about it. Otherwise it's mostly composed of watching them roam around in some locale while being filmed in a weird night-vision that gives them evil looking eyes.In an average episode they will proclaim such things as "Did you hear that?" or "I think I saw something." or "I saw a shadow over there." No real evidence is really shown that really shows a ghost, it's mostly some so called audio evidence of a knock or some voice that is just about impossible to make out. The photographic evidence too is nothing of note as it's composed mostly of some shadow or mist.Somehow it reminds me of the opening of Ghostbusters, where they are investigating the ghost at the library and when they encounter her they don't know what really to do and run out. Somehow I can imagine the same thing would happen to these guys if they actually saw a real ghost, they would run away in a heartbeat.About the only good thing about the show is seeing locales that one will likely never be able to visit, and for that I give it 2 stars.
View MoreAs a loyal Ghost Hunters fan, I was really excited to learn they were doing a spin off show, doing all the cases in Europe (Leap Castle anyone?)!! I didn't care that it wasn't Jason and Grant doing it, and I was excited to see mix of old TAPS members and some new people. I saw the first episode and enjoyed it, but as I continued to watch subsequent episodes, I realized it just wasn't the same. It doesn't have the same energy that the regular Ghost Hunters show has. The team members don't seem to have the same chemistry. No one seems to joke around, and they're all so serious when on camera. Now maybe some aren't used to being in the spot light (namely Robb and Shannon), but the others (Brian, Donna, Andy and Barry) should be pretty used to being on camera. There isn't the playfulness among them all, that TAPS has. This team is almost boring. With them it seems like it's just "Get in, Get out". It's all business, which I realize might be professional, but come on, it's a TV show, entertain a little! (I place some fault on the people who direct and produce, they should know better.) So as much as I wanted to LOVE the show, it just isn't the same as the original. I will still watch it, as they do investigate cool places, but they need to lighten up a little and have fun!
