Ghost Squad (2015)
Growing up in a small town, Charlie, Alex and Nick weren't the most popular kids around after they formed "The Elite Monster Unit". Chasing notorious, mythical legends and ghosts was exciting to them, not "cool" to the other kids around. So they lived their lives on the outside of the "in" crowd. Making matters worse was Charlie's obvious crush on Brandy, one of the most popular kids in school and sister to one of the biggest bullies around. Trying to impress Brandy, Charlie accepts a dare from her brother Nick that says he and his friends must spend Halloween night in a house long rumored to be haunted.What seems to be an easy challenge quickly turns out to be a night of frights as Charlie, Nick and Alex find themselves in the fight of their lives trying to out smart (and outrun) their new nemesis, a ghost dog named Salty, who does whatever he can to make this the worst night of their lives...

Great Film overall
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Google play had this title out free of charge recently.....no wonder why. This title was incredibly uninteresting and was not a spooky, funny, or dramatic film. I do normally like a few of the actors that were in this film but by god this movie is bad. All that I got out of the movie itself was the knock off Zack Gallifinakus or whatever looking son of a bitch has a dead wife or something and the napoleon dynamite guy works at a copy center and is a hipster. This is a great motivating tool at work because nobody will sit and watch it and will all work. Thank you, Scott
The story revolves around a wager between some older boys and the three younger central characters. In order to put the bullying of the latter to rest, the younger boys accept a challenge to stay in an allegedly haunted house overnight on Halloween. This will supposedly demonstrate their bravery and earn them eternal respect from the older boys. Originality or credibility are certainly not the movie's strong points.The characters are two dimensional. There is nothing remotely funny or frightening in the movie. The special effects are neither special nor convincing. Even the youngest viewer would probably be bored.The actors at times attempt to inject a little enthusiasm into their roles, but for the most part they seem to be left to drift through an uninspired and tired screenplay.
