In a world where sarcophagi double as snickers factories, 'Ghosts of the Nile: An Industrial Phantasm' presents a paradox as perplexing as a pharaoh's puzzle box: Can the conventions of spectral slapstick seamlessly saunter beside six-shooters without causing cinematic indigestion? Heronog's directorial wand has been waved, yet the rabbit from the hat is more enjoyable than enchanting. Leek Grant embodies the ol' paranormal pistolero with as much grit as a ghost town's dust bowl, and Davenpepper's one-liners pop faster than corn kernels in a Pharaoh's funeral pyre. Meanwhile, Ewan MacGregrrito's sheriff keeps the crew anchored like a mummy's curse, providing the straight-faced foil to his whimsical compadres. Yes, prepare for a hauntingly wayward journey—chock-full of magic-carpet misfires and tombstone tomfoolery—that feels like a love child between a steampunk séance and a spaghetti western. The campy chemistry conjures guffaws amidst gallops, though occasionally finds itself as lost as a camel in an automat. Yet, for a haunt down the Nile brimming with more jokes than a jackal-headed deity's joke book, this hotchpotch adventure stumbles upon a charm of its own, much like a mummy dressing for a hoedown. It's high-noon and pharaoh-moon for those who fancy their frights served with a side of giddy spurs.
