The new film, ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ follows a single mother (Carrie Coon) and her two kids (McKenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard) who relocate to a small town to move into the large home they inherited from the single mother's late father. They discover their family's connection to the original Ghostbusters and uncover what was left behind.
