We Have a Ghost trailer receive a green light from fans

The trailer for Netflix’s upcoming horror comedy starts off much like any other horror movie. However, just two seconds in, the We Have a Ghost trailer pulls you in with its fresh take on ghosts. The flick follows a tried and tested cliche of a new family moving into town and meeting its worst nightmares, Netflix’s very own The Watcher being a prime example.

The trailer makes it clear that although the primary trope is one you are well acquainted with; it is the Presley family that will be bringing in all the fun. We Have a Ghost is based on Geoff Manaugh’s short story titled Ernest. It follows the youngest of the Presley family who gets told by his schoolmates that he lives in a haunted house.

And following the legacy of his horror comedy forefathers, Kevin follows the mysterious noise coming from nowhere, instead of going somewhere safe, and sees the ghost. However, the ghost in this movie is not like other ghosts for two reasons. One, Ernest the ghost is being played by David Harbour. And two, he can be captured on camera.

Apart from this high-tech twist, the trailer hints at foul play in the death of Ernest. But when David and his friend try to uncover the mystery, the CIA knocks on their doors. Moreover, the Presley family, instead of running out of the house in horror, uses Ernest the ghost to become the social media influencers. Packed with powerful performances by Anthony Mackie, Jennifer Coolidge, David Harbour, and more, the trailer guarantees a fun watch.
