Super fun in the vein of Frighteners, Ghost Busters. Not quite as pitch-perfect as Shaun of the Dead - but one of the closest horror comedies in quality to it that I've seen in years. The cast has great chemistry and the film has a great style with very cool visuals and gadgets throughout. A definite recommendation.
