Who you gonna call? Apparently, one last time. Ghostbusters 6 (2025) arrives as both the culmination of a franchise that has spanned forty years and a reinvention of its core spirit. With ghosts more terrifying, stakes higher than ever, and a cast that bridges past and future, this sixth entry feels less like a sequel and more like a supernatural swan song.
The trailer opens with a chilling image: New York City, shrouded in fog, Times Square completely empty. A spectral hum vibrates through the air as streetlights flicker. Then, from the shadows, Slimer darts across the screen, his laugh cut short by a sudden roar that shakes skyscrapers. The tone is clear: this isn’t just ghostbusting—it’s an apocalypse.
Old faces return. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson suit up one more time, their weary smiles betraying decades of history. They’re joined by the new generation—McKenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, and Carrie Coon—whose arcs now move from apprentices to true heirs of the Ghostbusters legacy. The intergenerational chemistry sparks instantly, mixing sarcasm, mentorship, and the awkwardness of passing the torch.
The villain teased here is no mere ghost but an ancient entity known as The Harbinger, a being tied to the original events of 1984. Glimpses show it towering over the skyline, its form shifting between smoke and bone, commanding legions of spirits that spill across the world. For the first time, ghostbusting isn’t about one city—it’s about survival itself.
The Ecto-1 roars back into action, tearing through haunted streets, its siren echoing like a battle cry. Proton packs blast with renewed fury, now upgraded with tech that combines old-school charm and modern invention. One sequence shows a proton stream locking onto a colossal phantom, while a new containment unit shatters under pressure, threatening to unleash everything ever captured.
Humor, the franchise’s lifeblood, remains intact. Quippy one-liners, slapstick ghost encounters, and unexpected banter between veterans and rookies balance the darkness. A standout gag shows Venkman rolling his eyes mid-battle: “I’m too old for this slime.”
Visually, the film is a leap forward. Ghosts are rendered with eerie luminescence, equal parts horrifying and cartoonishly bizarre. New York becomes a haunted battlefield, neon lights bending under supernatural energy, rivers glowing green, skyscrapers cracking as phantoms swirl around them.
The score blends Elmer Bernstein’s original motifs with darker, orchestral crescendos. The iconic theme song erupts in the trailer’s final moments, remixed but instantly recognizable, cementing the sense of legacy.
Yet beneath the spectacle lies a story about closure. These Ghostbusters aren’t just saving the world—they’re confronting what it means to let go. Passing the torch is never easy, and the emotional beats hinted in the trailer suggest goodbyes as much as victories.
The climax teases all generations of Ghostbusters standing together on a rain-soaked rooftop, proton packs blazing against a colossal spectral storm. As the screen cuts to black, the words appear: Ghostbusters 6: The Final Haunting (2025).
This isn’t just another sequel. It’s a farewell. A celebration of comedy, horror, and heart that has carried the franchise across decades. If the film delivers what the trailer promises, it will be less about busting ghosts—and more about honoring the legends who made us believe in them.
