    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    Most "paranormal" shows are all about horror imagery, hysteria and a lot of jumping to conclusions. I get the reasoning behind, as the producers are most likely identifying a target audience of horror fans. Which makes sense targeting-wise. But which absolutely don't make sense to me, when these shows over and over again claim the merits of their "scientific" approach. I've often been annoyed by, for instance, Ghost Adventures, where the host will jump to conclusions about demonic hauntings from a small tidbit he got before his "investigation" has begun, only to claim multiple times during an episode how "scientific" his approach is.Ghost Chasers manage to offer a more objective counterpoint to the sensationalistic approach of most American "paranormal" shows.The team behind adopt the role of (somewhat) skeptic. Instead of almost everything being construed as paranormal. Most of the time the team of Ghost Chasers offer up more mundane explanations for some of their experiences, where most other shows would've called it demons or sassy witchings or super haunted portals to the afterlife of hell or whatever.I love the fact that there isn't any horror imagery, which gives more credence to the seriousness of the show. In my opinion this show could've been even more serious and objective. Using an app on your smartphone to hear ghosts speak, doesn't strike me as super logical. What ghost sensors did Samsung put in their phones? Underlying music and sound effects could've been used more sparingly as well, because sometimes its hard to tell if it is postulated paranormal captures or post-production added effects to add tension. And a more consistent objectivity would also suit the 3 guys who aren't psychic. As sometimes there is still the unwarranted conclusion that it must've been a ghost.But to sum up. An interesting and a bit more serious addition to the whole "paranormal" "reality"-show trend. Definitely recommendable.
