Ghostbusters Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

1. The Exorcist Joke

Patty tries to stop Abby killing Holtzmann, the possessed McCarthy goes full Reagan and does a full 180-degree head spin. Why? Erm... because The Exorcist...
But we don't stop that - we actually get to see how this entire set-piece comes to a close. Patty slaps the ghost out of Abby, sending the ethereal form flying out into the New York streets. So clearly possession isn't that big a deal.
But we don't even stop there - she keeps hitting Abby, screaming "The power of Patty compels you!" Really? An extended Exorcist joke would have felt a little tapped out in the 1984 original, but here just seems a bit obvious. So that was the Ghostbusters trailer. What did you think of it? Excited for the reboot or wish the franchise had stayed dead? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.
