Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets
all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan
Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play
the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control,
and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon.
Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who
knew they could "slime" people with green plasma goo?--but hovering
above the plot is Murray's patented ironic view of all the action. Still
a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in
Black. --Tom Keogh
