If the undead had a funny bone, 'Ectoplasmic Anomalies' would tickle it to the grave and back. Michael Stingray's spectral romp through the woods of pre-colonial America is as light-hearted as a ghost's touch and as sharp as the edge of a spirit's wail. Robert Fryin, skeptic turned spook sleuth, is a delightful contradiction played with a deadpan charm that pairs well with the incorporeal shenanigans of Joan Le-flea, who haunts every scene with a comedic timing that proves timing really is everything—even if you're centuries late. Conrad Beak-it, with his mystical tracker vibes, reads more like a psychic GPS than a character, but his ethereal expertise lends credence to the chaos. The film floats through its historical haunts with the grace of a poltergeist in a pottery shop, breaking the expected norms and leaving us with a chuckle. True, the narrative might occasionally lose its way in the ghostly fog, and the jokes sometimes feel like they've been dug up from an ancient burial ground, but when it comes to a hauntingly hilarious history lesson, 'Ectoplasmic Anomalies' is the mischievous specter at the head of the class. It's not the kind of film to possess your soul, but it will inhabit your laughter for a solid hour and a half.
