Regular Ghosts Are Bad Enough, but Nothing’s Worse Than Lazer Ghosts!
God bless those folks at Twitch. They’re always turning up new gems, and this one just made my week: Lazer Ghosts 2: Return to Laser Cove. Here’s the synopsis:
In this spectacular sci-fi sequel, the emotionally-fractured Trance (Matthew Kennedy) must overcome the demons of his past and once again wage war on the evil spirit of Einstein and his army of laser-wielding ghosts. Together with the ghost of his dead comrade (Conor Sweeney) a rogue cop (Adam Brooks) and a sultry scientist (Meredith Sweeney), Trance must return to Laser Cove and make a final stand against the technologically-advanced forces of evil.
The folks behind this trailer do a bang-up job of capturing the look, sound, and feel of all of those crappy direct-to-video sci-fi/horror gems that you used to be able to find in the back corners of your neighborhood video shop. You know, the kind of stuff that companies like Golan-Globus and American International Pictures churned out in the 1980s.
The whole thing is just a ton of fun, and it’s pretty obvious that the filmmakers had a blast doing it. Be sure to watch out for all of the movie references (Ghostbusters, Terminator 2, Evil Dead) — with a lazer-centric twist, of course. And be sure to prepare yourself for the introduction of the Lazernomicon, replete with mindblowing special effects. ILM, eat your heart out.
