Fasten your saddlebelts and prepare for a ride through the phantasmal plains with 'Spectral Spurs' - a documentary that leaves you questioning whether to call Ghostbusters or Buffalo Bill. Ron Howlard's quirky direction transforms what could've been a spectral snooze fest into a delightful dalliance with the dearly departed denim-clad lawmen. Julienne Roberts, our intrepid cowboy historian, struts through ghost towns with the confidence of a gunslinger at high noon, while Priscilla Lynx's enthusiasm for the ethereal is as infectious as a saloon's piano tune on a Friday night. Skeptic Anchovy Hathaway, on the other hand, delivers deadpan hilarity, eye-rolling at every creak and moan as if they were just the wind (or were they?). 'Spectral Spurs' is that rare breed of film that can spook the chaps off you one moment and have you in stitches the next. It's a light PG, but the laughter ricochets like a wayward revolver, and the chills are as real as the possibility that your popcorn is haunted. So tip your hat to Howlard and the gang for a rip-roaring, spirit-slinging romp through the supernatural prairies of the American frontier - it's a hoot, a holler, and a little bit of a head-scratcher.
