Ghost Fever - The Cinema Snob

[@pentelegomenon1175]

The slave torture device is a metaphor for the movie itself, because Sherman financed the movie so heavily he was trapped inside of it while it repeatedly screwed and emasculated him. And him being killed by ghosts who engineer a fatal car explosion is a metaphor for the movie bombing horribly and destroying Sherman financially.

[@TheLoverboyz901]

The Haunted Mansion is no longer the worst PG-rated haunted house comedy to bizarrely involve slavery.

[@tychoazrephet3794]

"Hmm...yes, the president of the Confederacy, KING TUT!" God damn that made me laugh, Brad truly has a talent for making awkward, bizarrely unfunny and tasteless comedies seem entertaining.

[@wellthatwaswierd4570]

Yeah first time I heard that one I laughed so hard I literally spit out my drink

[@christopherrichardson2945]

Jordan Peele should remake this (either as a similar comedy or as a socially contemplative horror)

[@sorryifoldcomment8596]

Man, this could be done super well.

[@iamgroot9804]

thats such a great idea.

[@crimsondynamo615]

Imagine if his attempt at directing this went the same way as Sherman’s fate during this.

[@MarquisSmith]

Ah, the new Cinema Snob video. These make Mondays bearable. I cannot think of higher praise. Very much appreciated as always, Brad.

[@DocZFlux]

No joke, the only part of these clips that got a genuine chuckle out of me is Hemsley's last line.

[@grifftrain]

This is one of my favorite Cinema Snob episodes

[@theintern2960]

My brother is gonna be so psyched. He loved this movie as a kid. Thanks to everyone who voted for it.

[@Nirvashicus]

Anyone else feel like this is a weirdly interesting concept? Not a ghost comedy, but rather, seeing the haunting ghosts perspective while they do the haunting.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

You need to see Beetlejuice.

[@HrothgarXII]

For a horrifying moment I thought he was reviewing "Ghost Dad"

[@thomasjenkins7506]

i don't even think snob would sink that low. you don't get much worse that cosby movies. i'd rather watch las vegas bloodbath 50 times than sit through even one of those.

[@whoknowswhocares885]

+Thomas Jenkins NC apparently went that low

[@thomasjenkins7506]

KEEPAWAY PRODUCTION that's because doug has no standards.

[@EclecticEnnui]

In the Snob's 2011 review of "Child Bride", he said he has no standards, unless things have changed since then.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

EclecticEnnui child bride is fine art compared to a cosby movie. gain some perspective.

[@TrevorZero]

I feel like Cinema Snob's viewers have even more strange priorities than the Cinema Snob

[@mikekz4489]

I think we'll be getting slime=jizz jokes from the new Ghostbusters movie. We don't even need the porno spoof.

[@1Hol1Tiger]

"Ha, men are terrible and women get periods! Am I right ladies?" is pretty much how I expect the whole movie to go

[@liliofthevalley1000]

+Hawl and Sera The Shapeshifting Cyber Spider Tigress Yup!

[@FFKonoko]

well, if your expectations are THAT low, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised if you watched it. But you also probably won't watch it.

[@gantzisballs]

That would be kind of ironic. She actually lost 75 pounds for Ghostbusters.

[@killerbee2562]

When a movie is so obscure it has no tv tropes page...

[@Defarious]

"Day light come and make me go want to jump off a bridge" did it for me.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

This movie looks absolutely dire. I hope they enjoyed shooting it, as I can't believe anyone has ever enjoyed watching it...

[@lentzadam533]

I think Dianne Weist blowing herself up is the Snob's new recurring gag.

[@mrmusickhimself]

I would always see the VHS of this in my local video store. God I'm grateful I never gave it a chance, holy hell.

[@augustwest5356]

I've been a subscriber for years. You are by far my favorite youtuber, hands down. You should have multiple millions of followers. I've probably seen this video a dozen times and it's still hilarious. Thank you for the hours upon hours of entertainment. Next time your in Chicago I'd love to buy you and the wife never ending drinks and an extra large Piece pizza. That won't happen for obvious reasons but still, thanks.

[@TheKML777]

Ah, an explanation about what Alan Smithee is less than three minutes in. As expected from Brad.

[@johnathangrishaw3096]

I would have gone with ghosthicular manslaughter

[@NatAnn64]

18:44 I can hear her poorly contained giggles, ''I'll go get my seance hat! You're going to Love it! Cher was going to borrow it for a tour, but I couldn't bear to part with it.''

[@FlickorTreatProductions]

26:45 - *Snob: "And if they ever decide to remake this piece of shit, well, I know who the internet will blame for that one!"* You? *Snob: "Damn Right!"*

[@chrisdooley6468]

Christ I read the title as Ghost Dad. I nearly had an anxiety attack

[@PhoenixValkyrie]

I got bored when it went to theboxing scene. Not of the Snob commentary, but of the film clips. That's how dragged out this stupid film was.

[@redcomet_622]

this movie is not stupid it's more than stupid it's boring

[@redcomet_622]

+Victor Von Doom Jr. this movie is basically diet Ghostbusters where it takes all the fun stuff that made Ghostbusters good and replace it with bland comedy

[@FFKonoko]

Yeah, it removed all the bland comedy and replaced it with bland comedy I didn't appreciate because I wasn't 12 anymore.

[@PhoenixValkyrie]

+eddie frank True, true. Now I kinda want to go see This Ain't Ghistbusters. It has to be more interesting, at least.

[@redcomet_622]

+The Dark Side of Light atleast that will have something worth watching

[@squirrelgadget3498]

You know, I always thought the porn parody of Ghostbusters would be called Nutbusters.

[@Thundarr100]

Squirrel Gadget unfortunately they don’t seem to parody the titles of the movies that they spoof anymore. In the old days we used to get parody titles like “The Flintbones”, “The Boneheads”, and “Edward Penis Hands”. Nowadays the titles are all “This Ain’t The Flintstones” or “The Coneheads: A Porn Parody”.

[@JanetStarChild]

"Nutbusters" sounds more like a BDSM movie about a clan of dominatrix inflicting pain to the testicles of their submissive gimps.

[@SpookyouKnowIt23]

Brad, your sarcasm was even more on-point than usual this time around. Probably necessary with this...thing ^

[@RHGarciaApr85]

I love this review. I've watched this every night for the past few evenings.

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

"Does a ghost have to penetrate your ass in order for you to believe in them?!" lol

[@XanthinZarda]

More like Ghost Dysentery.

[@POWERTW]

Yeah. It requires a Ghost Enema.

[@nicholastosoni707]

_Ghosts of the Oregon Trail_.

[@Geospasmic]

+Jonathan Friedman That was the one device the slave-owner ghost didn't invent.

[@Lobsterwithinternet]

+Jonathan Friedman No! Not another reference to Water Power!! 😨

[@okeeffeboring182]

I love you so much man! don't ever stop!

[@danielallen3454]

This was a great favorite of mine when I was a kid. Re-watched it a year or so ago and . . . basically had your reaction.

[@kaind.badguy]

Worst ghost movie about slave torture and vampire evictions EVER!

[@RealPratfall]

That's a bold statement

[@Epipon3]

4:40 predicted the premise for Resident Evil VIllAGE

[@kingofrapture]

I love you, Brad

[@yappydog8m]

The devil went down to Georgia and he was very disappointed.

[@seraphonica]

"and why the fuck am I not watching THAT movie?" we can call it Django Unearthed!

[@MegCazalet]

Oh my god, I watched this at a slumber party when I was 8 or 9! And it spooked me! I’m having memories crash over me. And WTF, I’ve seen a movie that Cinema Snob has covered 🙀

[@Morbos1000]

I love 80s PG and PG13. I heard someone on the news going on about how PG13 is becoming what R used to be. I so wanted to call bullshit on that.

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

more like R is what PG-13 used to be.

[@brandoncrusoe9236]

Morbos1000 really that's not ghostbusters for real! awkward! f*** you!

[@amanoj318]

I saw the Smokin' Joe entry in the opening credits, and through the whole movie I kept wondering how the hell he would fit into the story. Now that it's over... I still have no idea.

[@Dannypuck]

This is just like electing the entire Cubs infield to the All-Star Game. Sometimes you have to take the vote away from the fans for the good of the show.

[@melissaandstephengarza8789]

I am in the vast minority but I loved this movie. I loved the review of it too. I grew up watching this all the time. I had a huge crush on Sherman Hemsley growing up. This was on TV all the time when I was young and I'd get so happy. I loved it more than Ghostbusters and Gremlins as a kid. It was one of my faves so for nostalgia, it's still something I adore.

[@cesarzpontu8886]

Damn. You have some really terrible taste

[@rotblitzkrieg]

Ectoplasm pills. That's a thing that was said. There are times I feel sorry for Brad, because he has to watch movies like Ghost Fever.

[@HouseCatTV]

I can't even believe this movie could get made. WTF were they thinking!!

[@realitysfrank1695]

wow...an Electric Company reference...I feel so old now...I used to watch that in the afternoons along with 3...2...1...Contact

[@AmericanHighSchool]

Careful what you wish for Snob. GHOST FEVER (2017) already in production with Kevin Hart & a mustached Dwayne Johnson. Bo Derek will pull an Eddie Murphy by playing every other role.

[@marcellofunhouse1234]

Its 2020 now its still not out

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

16:25 Janet! Dr. Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky! ...!

[@TheSkeletonVA]

Woo! Best Bday gift! Thanks Brad!

"That voodoo curse by our slaves, has turned him into a vampire."

[@jamesbevan9939]

[@luisdeleyendas]

I'm just waiting for the day the snob reviews Repossessed, the exorcist parody with Linda Blair.

[@WinterSteele]

He could have a whole Linda Blair month if he wanted to. She's appeared in some real gems, lol.

[@Djeispark]

+Winter Steele YOU are a real gem. you're gorgeous.

[@Djeispark]

+Winter Steele YOU are a real gem. you're gorgeous.

[@WinterSteele]

King MultiGenre Oh my, thank you. That's very flattering :-)

[@Djeispark]

My pleasure ;)

[@ZC-Infinity]

This came out AFTER Ghostbusters? ...It looks like a TV movie made 10 years BEFORE Ghostbusters. ...By Disney...

[@ToylandChairman666]

Yes, yes, yes. The one I wanted. GHOST FEVER is a childhood favorite of mine. Thank you, Brad. Thank you, voters.

[@hunterwilder9665]

Still a better ghost movie than Ghosts Can’t Do It

[@SteveSmith-rt7wx]

26:54 Jokes on them, chick ghosts already have equal haunting rights

[@gantzisballs]

Sadako and Grudge chick really broke that glass ceiling.

[@jacobellison1763]

The fact that Tyler Perry hasn't remade this saddens me

[@stryder414]

This is one of those movies I remember sitting through multiple times as a kid, on purpose, without even realizing how bad it was until years later- shows how feeble minded I was as a tot! ....I got better, I swear

[@jekblom123]

I hadn't seen comedy forced this hard from a black comic relief character since Richard Pryor in Superman 3. Yeeeghhh...

[@ser6Ijvolk]

That ending, marvelous. It just brought the biggest smile to my face seeing that in a supposed comedy. And right after that boxing shit-show, too. It totally makes sense that this was an adult comedy at some point. Just considering the year this was made in, there was probably a lot of nudity from those two blonds in the original cut and a lot more dirty jokes. And then someone had the bright idea to make this a family film.

[@joshnazario1020]

Hope we get a "Dancin, It's On!" review soon.

[@schalasmagic]

I've seen some bizarre things,a Croc eating a cow train and panda wearing a tutu with a flamingo on its head dancing. But this is beyond insane. wtf is this movie? I might need therapy now.

[@freedomcage3151]

Anyone remember the movie "High Spirits" with The Guttenberg? I loved that movie when I was little.... whatever happened to the Guttes?

[@ditsycitykitty3841]

Always loved Liam Neeson in that. Haven't seen it in so long! Though, I probably wouldn't like it much now. According to IMDB, Steve Guttenberg has been in a lot over the years. But it's things I don't watch. Haha!

[@AdamFink83]

he's still acting just nothing mainstream. his IMDb is sprinkled with low budget, independent movies and TV movies some of the latest being Sharknado 4 and some kind of lava tarantula movie. the tarantula one is a sequel for a movie from last year... I also loved that movie when I was younger haven't seen it in years.

[@mrmusickhimself]

Nice

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

Steve Guttenberg was a big name back in the 80's. short circuit, most of the police academy movies, etc.

[@Jakeinlivincolor]

he was on Community last year

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Say what you want, this was an 80s movie where a white woman ends up with a black man.

[@sesfilmsllc]

1:57 Hate to break it to you, but the Ripper murders took place 8 years prior to when this was set.

[@jasonhubbard6775]

Well, obviously this movie wants to be Looney Tunes.

[@sesfilmsllc]

Because silent ominous music and a funeral scene definitely reads comedy.

[@royalfoil5413]

It's comedy to some people. Some messed up people.

[@shwahgamer]

Mouse Hunt is a comedy and it starts with a funeral scene. But that's actually a good movie and the funeral has purpose in the story.

[@sesfilmsllc]

+Shwah Gamers yeah but that movie was good.

[@michaelfreeman3189]

I can't wait for the next Friday the 13th movie review.

[@Launchpad05]

I have NEVER heard of this movie before! Oh, I've heard of 'Ghost Dad', but NOT this!

[@PedanticGaming]

14:00 'Jail'

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I'm confused. Everything about this movie screams made for tv but then Hemsley says goddamn it which would've been allowed. What the hell is this thing?

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

***** I know that, but was it a made for TV waste or what? :)

[@GruntGamerProductions]

No, no, fear not. The censors could've *easily* edited out that line. Its just they had trouble allowing the torture humor, slave humor, unnecessary boxing scene, and dark ending to pass through censors.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

GruntGamerProductions But if it was originally shot for TV he wouldn't have said it in the first place. Also, people were way less sensitive about racial humor back then than the are now. I'm sure that would've sailed right past most people in the 1980's, no prob.

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

***** Wow, that's really hard to believe but maybe standards were even lower back then.

[@pictonomii3295]

22:49 "worser"?

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

*whom

[@zombiTrout]

It's a perfectly cromulent word...

[@pictonomii3295]

[@pictonomii3295]

[@jarmakey1]

Ahh I know that guy. The first time I got into an internet argument was on one of his videos. I'd been peacefully on the internet for years and just one random comment on some random guy's video got me constant notifications for 2 flippin years afterward. The toxicity on his videos is just off the charts.

[@TheTrueReiniat]

THIS MOVIE GAVE YOU AAAAAIIIIDSS.

[@destinypifer5772]

What's disturbing is that my parents showed me and my brother this movie when we were kids. I remember it being stupid even then. lol

[@MangetsuSAMURAI]

"They have names! Like people!"

[@davidcutts9079]

My 10 or 11 year old self probably would've enjoyed this. Maybe. Never heard of it. Surprised I didn't watch it 2 times per weekend on HBO, ala Saturday the 14th, etc. Thanks Snob!

[@Jude300c]

lool "Hi Cher". I wish she could have came and turned back the time on the production of this movie, Oi!

[@TheRealNormanBates]

Are you "sure" this isn't worse than INDEPENDENCE DAY (1983)? I mean... at least that has an exploding Dianne Wiest. Well, I guess if there is one thing we know ghosts can't do, it's direct.

[@HiperPivociarz]

18:25 Also the Grandmom in the tv Show Charmed And Also The Mother Superior Nun In Night of the Demons 2 , If I think that is the same actress.

[@JimmyJohn89808]

It is the same actress.

I'd rather dengue fever than watching ghost fever

[@smilingkevin]

4:13 Wait... that uniform... that voice... holy shit, it's Angela! Run!

[@-Siculus-Hort-]

ohhhh yeah I remember this.

[@HurricaneDDragon]

Is this the prequel to Ghost Dad?

[@Dendarang]

I mean, you gotta give the movie some credit, not a lot of movies would try and get humor out of slave torture devices.

[@jacob9538]

i forgot that 95% of cinema snob's dialogue used to be shouting, it's way too much

[@FelisTerras]

I might have caught glimps and pieces of this flic, waaaayyy back when..unsurprisingly, I totally forgot about it. but yeah, this is awful. Though, 4:22-4:26 had me cracking up; give it to Brad to make that part hilarious. Oh, and my most sincere apologies to you, Bra;, after hearing the 'introduction' song of the two girls, I will never ever make fun of your singing again. That was...actually, those few seconds are the cumulated amount of pain the entire flic causes. Well, at least now we know, where haunted Mansion got its inspiration from^^

[@drewgehringer7813]

This just seems like Beetlejuice except early 80s and minus anything good.

[@coffeefrog]

Still a better movie than Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion.

[@domc8089]

At least this one's funny in it's ridiculousness.

[@jekblom123]

uhhhhh...

[@Mr4thDoctor]

That's debatable.

[@RavynMad121]

I don't get why everyone seems to hate that movie so much. Yes, it is incredibly dumb, but between the singing heads, the sweet music box song, the incredibly relatable overcoming the fear of spiders scene, the bumbling servants, and Terrance Stamp having a gay old time overacting the shit out of his character, I just don't see why it gets such a bad rap. Plus, it's quite beautiful at times in the lighting and colour themes, and it's a lot of fun imagining every Eddie Murphy scene is actually Donkey from Shrek in another life.

[@trippjohnson7393]

No

[@koenvandamme6901]

Sheesh, this one looks even harder to stomach than Ghost Dad. At least that thing had the delightfully ridiculous satanic taxi driver and that scene with the telephone.
