Review Summary

The Ghostbuster have been put out of business by lawsuits and restraining orders. Then they accidentally discover that there is a river of slime under Manhattan, and the ancient and evil Vigo is planning to take the body of a young boy and invade New York city. The Ghostbusters are released from their restraining order to mop up the town. A terrible disappointment after the quality of the first film.
