Description: A team of
part-time paranormal investigators use homemade gizmos to track the
supernatural, sharing their adventures online. As their haunted stake outs
become more terrifying they begin to uncover an unimaginable, apocalyptic
conspiracy.
Review: “Truth Seekers” on Amazon Prime lacks the magic from previous collaborations
of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Maybe because they hardly share any screen time
together. But still, it’s a pleasant horror comedy full of geeky references
that you will finish in a heartbeat.
The term horror might be a
little strong, since it’s as scary as “Stranger Things”. And it’s not as funny
as and Edgar Wright movie starring Frost and Pegg. But there’s a good chance
that the charming ghost hunters will catch you during the eight half-hour
episodes.
Telecom technician Gus spends
his free time as a paranormal researcher. He gets the help of his new colleague
Elton John, himself with an aversion to ghosts, and Astrid, who is chased by
ghosts. The trio applauded on the sidelines by Gus’ father-in-law, Elton’s
sister Helen and Gus’ boss Dave.
“Truth Seekers” doesn’t
spend time on dubious heroes. Behind the smiles of the amiable characters are
hidden mysteries that will connect all of them like a pieces of a puzzle.
“Truth Seekers” is a fun and
quick watch. Not something memorable, but still enjoyable.
