While not the rendition heard in that teaser trailer, this is entirely fan-made; the passion project by Ghostbusters of the Ozarks member Jason Hall will hopefully serve as a nice holdover for those still clinging onto some hope that the actual demo will someday be released.
However, the film has everything that made the first one great and more, i.e., ghost comedies. The humor is on point, the action is awesome, and the effects are top-notch. If you loved the first Ghostbusters, you would also enjoy this movie.

Subsequently released in 2016, the critics praised the film for its humor, visual effects, and cast. However, the movie was a box office flop, grossing over $229 million worldwide, but losing over $70 million due to poor audience reviews. The Ghostbusters reboot had a budget of $144 million, making it one of the most expensive films in the Ghostbusters film series.
So here we are with all the Ghostbusters movies in order, from old ghost comedies to the latest ones. These films are part of the ghostbusters universe; one of them is a reboot film that tried to capture a new generation audience with the same story but a new cast.
The newest entry in the franchise, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, comes three decades after the original '80s films and five years after an attempt at an all-women reboot met mixed reviews and an ugly, misogynistic fan backlash. Afterlife is, tonally, quite different from all the Ghostbusters movies that came before it; while earlier films were comedies about a bunch of middle-aged folks searching for their professional calling in a paranormal-infested New York City, Afterlife is a very Americana coming-of-age story about family, set in a small town that's perpetually bathed in golden hour light.
"I understand your cynicism," Reitman tells SYFY WIRE during the press junket. In many ways, Afterlife does manage to overcome that innate cynical instinct that comes from seeing yet another nostalgic reboot or decades-later sequel. Still, there's an inherent tension between Afterlife's surprising success in subverting fans' expectations about what a Ghostbusters movie can be, and the weight of the IP at its core.
"We grew up fans of The Goonies, Gremlins, Back to the Future, Star Wars, and Ghostbusters. We wanted to make a movie that felt like that. [It's about] the young people who admire Ghostbusters," says Reitman, who happens to be the son of Ghostbusters '84 director Ivan Reitman, in addition to being an Academy Award-nominated director (Juno, Up In the Air) in his own right. "The original film was about the Ghostbusters. This movie is about the rest of us. The people who have always wanted to pick up the proton pack. The people who have always wanted to ride in the Ecto-1. And it's about a family trying to discover who they are."
"Jason's really captured the original tone of the film at the same time that he's passing it to this next generation of actors," says Coon. "He's the perfect person to do it. It's full of heart, it's family-friendly, and it's a beautiful story. That's the feeling you get when you see it, it feels like an old-school film."
Paul Feig's 2016 reboot is actually more similar in tone and intent to the original Ghostbusters than Afterlife is. The gender-swap aside, it was in many ways a straight-up retelling of the first movie. Phoebe, Afterlife's main character, is related to an original Ghostbuster, and this is the first time the franchise uses its main character in this way to explore raising a family in between bustin' ghosts. Her heritage aside, Phoebe, as a smart young woman who doesn't quite know her place in the world, is a departure from the typical Ghostbusters protagonist. (It's worth noting that the fans who seemingly hated the idea of lady Ghostbusters in 2016 don't seem to mind that Afterlife is largely about Phoebe and her mother.)
"The 2016 film was really important in that it opened up the idea of what a Ghostbusters movie could be," Reitman explains. "The 2016 film was hilarious and had incredible performances, but the most important thing it did for me, is that it set the table so I could make this film. It broke down the rules of what a Ghostbusters movie could be."
"We wanted to make a movie that opened the universe to all kinds of stories," Reitman said during the panel moderated by EW's Clark Collis. "I want to see Ghostbusters movies from all of my favorite directors, and we hop that this movie sets the table for that."
"My whole life I was asked, 'Would you make a Ghostbusters movie?' And I made the incorrect, egotistical assumption that people wanted to see my Ghostbusters movie when the truth was people wanted to see a Ghostbusters movie," Reitman said.
