is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire a step or down for the franchise? Read our review to find out!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire tries to keep the momentum of the new Ghostbusters movie franchise going after the 2021 'requel' film Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Meanwhile, a local man-bro named Nadeem sells Ray Stantz some strange artifacts owned by his late grandmother – including an ancient orb cased in bronze – an artifact that Ray quickly deduces is the prison of a god-like evil entity named Garraka, who can freeze things through the power of fear. It becomes a race against time as Garraka coerces other ghosts into helping it escape promising to free them from the Ghostbusters' prison.

At this point, Ghostbusters has become so iconic that the context of what made the original film so popular has gotten... muddled. The original Ghostbusters blended horror, comedy, and some epic action in a way that hadn't been seen before – but it was also a showcase of comedic talent, with Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, and the rest of the cast getting to riff and get weird with their scenes.

It's a lot to pack into one film, and the result would be a total mess, except that Kenan and his editors wisely seem to realize that all these branching storylines are just great setups for scenes of horror-humor and fun callbacks to the first Ghostbusters films.
