Attempting to land their big break, a group of struggling paranormal investigators agree to take on a seemingly simple case looking at a supposed ghost haunting a local high-school, but when they realize they're in over their heads try to use every trick they can to survive.

Frankly, this was an exceptionally enjoyable genre effort. What makes this one so much fun is the manner in which this mixes together it's comedic tones with straightforward haunting action. The starting point within the film is the silly and oftentimes hilarious comedy here that's exceptionally well-done and works nicely in the film, ranging from the running gags of the beleaguered camera-man being ignored despite being the most rational of the group, the disrespect for the landlord who wants their rent or the complete inability to recognize how a proper TV show runs as the group simply are incapable of anything that would make for a professional-looking product. Since no one takes them seriously despite their misguided intentions in believing that they're making something worthwhile, a stream of steady one-liners that are truly funny at building the characterization between them and some strong slapstick when required, there's a lot of great work at times here with the comedic aspects. On top of that, the film's haunting scenes work well enough that they're incredibly enjoyable. Playing with far more realistic and genuinely frightening tone against the silly comedy, there's even more to like with these elements in the film. The initial starting point in the school bathroom is a fantastic opening where it appears suddenly and provides a stellar jump-scare in the mirror, while the initial scenes of the group setting up the school for their show offer some great behind-the-scenes looks at what they're trying to accomplish in the course of the show. As well, the later scenes of the team being hunted by the ghost and the various reanimated bodies used to torment them offers some thrilling confrontations here including the scenes of the ghost unleashing surprise ambushes on the group being incredibly enjoyable with no one not knowing who's become possessed by the ghost. The other really strong aspect to this one is the great special effects work throughout the film that really enhances the ghost attacks. The bloodshed on display is outstanding, being truly practical work that utilizes everything from gratuitous blood spray onto every individual or surface in the vicinity, getting limbs snapped or ripped off and being cut into with a variety of instruments and sharp objects which go hand-in-hand with the stellar dissolves used to show the ghost leaving a possessed body. With others getting their body ripped to pieces or devoured with bloody chunks strewn all over, this makes for a great time throughout here with a furious pace that keeps this one moving along nicely. While it does tend to last a bit too long by presenting two different backstories for the ghost that aren't needed and by overall running on too long in general, there's not much that really hold this one down.

After having read some fairly bad reviews about this 2018 movie titled "Exterminadores do Além Contra a Loira do Banheiro" (aka "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary") then I must admit that I wasn't particularly hopeful for this movie. But still, the movie's cover was interesting and the title was alluring. Plus the facts that this was a horror comedy and a movie that I hadn't already seen weighed heavier than the bad reviews. So I ended up sitting down to watch it.

And color me impressed. Forget about the bad reviews, because "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" is an entertaining and funny movie, very much in the same style such as "Shaun of the Dead" and "Lesbian Vampire Killers". I have to say that I was very surprised with the outcome of director Fabrício Bittar's movie. And it was a very positive surprise.

The storyline was enjoyable, and for a horror comedy such as this, then I will say that writers Fabrício Bittar, Andre Catarinacho and Danilo Gentili definitely managed to come up with something enjoyable, entertaining and unique enough to prove well-worth watching.

The movie had lots and lots of blood and gore in it, and that was definitely something that I enjoyed, so for a seasoned gorehound such as myself, I was definitely content with "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary". And the special effects were also rather good, which just added to the overall enjoyment.

Now, I haven't watched a whole lot of Portuguese movies, so I wasn't familiar with the casted actors and actresses that performed in the movie. But I will say that they definitely had a good ensemble of performers put together for the movie.

I found "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" to be a good mixture of comedy and horror, with enough elements of both genres to make for a very wholehearted movie.

My rating of "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" lands on a seven out of ten stars. If you enjoy horror comedies in the likes of "Lesbian Vampire Killers" or "Shaun of the Dead", then you definitely should sit down to watch "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary". Don't let the language discourage you, because this movie is definitely well-worth a watch.

A group of ghostbusting vloggers who manufacture their own ghosts are requested to take a job at the Isaac Newton High Scholl where Bloody Mary has been summoned. Her real name was Catrina and the Ghostbusters are also Ghost Killers and Ghoul Busters. As they are figuring out how to create a ghost and who gets the hot teacher, the real Bloody Mary shows up.

The film was made in Brazil and had English subtitles. You could see the satire, but the language barrier prevented it from being sharp. As a comedy-horror, it was also a half-decent horror.
