It’s been a long time since Ghostbusters: Hellbent first started to make tangible strides towards being a full-fledged fan-film and even long since the idea was first hatched, but with only a couple of effects shots left, Hellbent is just about ready. Check out their website for more information.
[UPDATE] The trailer on their homepage isn’t the final trailer, so I’ve replaced what I’d originally posted with that newer trailer.

The way I look at it: it’s not a professional film, it’s not advertised as such, and it was made to entertain people. Obviously if you have this many problems with watching this, you most likely do not watch a majority of videos on youtube.
I’m going to give this film a chance, these guys have put serious man hours into this. More importantly, they are fans just like you and me.
This reminds me a lot of that Return of the Ghostbusters fan film – same production qualities, same acting ability, same feel. At the time that came out, I remember posting some negative stuff, and I regret it. These fanfilms are, for the most part, not really to be judged as actual movies or shorts. Even the good ones with high budgets clearly stand out as distinctly unprofessional. I think we can all admit that these are made for the creators, giving them the ability to dress up as their favorite characters and feel that thrill of being on camera as a Ghostbuster (or Star Trek character on the bridge of the Enterprise, or Batman, or whoever). It’s an exercise in fun, and really shouldn’t be judged on its merits as an original film. I just don’t understand why people bother uploading them to the internet only to be shat on.
I’ll deff give the movie a shot, it looks like it could be fun. I was in no way trying to rip on it but simply trying to point on some things that could be worked on in the future.
This is the same shorter trailer Kyle Omni had posted earlier, but a slightly higher quality on vimeo.
