Ghosthunters on Icy Trails (2015)

Milo Parker is one of the best young actors of our time!  This is a fun and interesting
heartwarming film. 

Hope to see much more of Milo Parker.

Highly Recommended!






Plot Summary:
Tom (Milo Parker) is a somewhat fearful young boy.  One day he goes down
into the cellar to fetch a bottle of wine and he gets the scare of his life
from Hugo (an ASG - Average Scary Ghost). 

Hetty Cuminseed (Anke Engelke) is a twenty-three year veteran of
CGI (Central Ghosthunting Institute).  Unfortunately she gets fired for
shrinking her partner down to one inch tall.  It takes her partner
almost a week to grow back up to normal height.

Tom enlists Ms. Cuminseed's help to get rid of Hugo.  But then they
realize that Hugo is really a good ghost who was driven out of his
haunted mansion by an AIG (Ancient Ice Ghost).  Ms. Cuminseed,
Tom, and Hugo must work together without the help of CGI to
defeat the AIG and save the world from certain destruction.

My Review:
I loved it!  Milo Parker is great!  Anke Engelke as 'Mrs. Cuminseed'
and Bastian Pastewka (voice of 'Hugo') were extremely good and
funny!  The film is kind of a cross between Men In Black and
Ghost Busters.  Definitely aimed at young people but
surprisingly deep and emotional.  Almost had to wipe a tear
away at the end of the film.

If there's only one thing I can say negative about the film it is this.
The main character of the film is Tom.  But his story is somewhat
watered down because the three main characters: Tom, Ms. Cuminseed,
and Hugo are so powerful that they begin to step on each others plot feet,
as it were.

I think they should have focused a little more time on the character
of Tom and let this character push the plot.  In fact, the main
character could have even been any of the three principles and the
plot would have worked.

Still is was quite an excellent movie.  All the characters were great,
especially Tom's hilarious family, who don't see anything wrong
with Tom wearing his sisters clothes.

Always good to see unheard of boy actors, of course, though Milo is not exactly what you would call a handsome boy actor. He would be ideal playing the evil boy in some horror film. I have no idea what this film is about though the title indicates foreign which might make it difficult to obtain a DVD.

Thanks for the pics, 'bowser'.    Smiley

Yes, that is what often happens when they take a whole novel and try to squeeze it into a movie.  Too much material!
