Reviews

Ghost Busted received a mixed reception from both critics and audiences. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.1/10, reflecting a division in viewer opinions. Reviewers praised the movie's blend of horror and comedy, citing it as a refreshing take within the Indonesian film industry at the time. Some critics appreciated Mario Lawalata's performance and the film’s ability to provide genuine laughs alongside eerie moments. However, the film was also critiqued for its uneven pacing and inconsistent tonal shifts, which some felt disrupted the overall narrative flow. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregated score for Ghost Busted, but user reviews suggest that while the film is entertaining for fans of light horror-comedy, it may not satisfy those seeking a more traditional or serious horror experience. Metacritic lacks reviews for this title, indicating limited mainstream critical coverage. Overall, Ghost Busted is regarded as an enjoyable but flawed film that stands out primarily for its unique combination of genres rather than its artistic depth.
