Ghost Team One was released theatrically nationwide by Paramount Studios on October 11, 2013. The film received mixed reviews, with a 36% approval rating on
Rotten Tomatoes. Andy Webster of
The New York Times credited the success of the film to "...the improvisational energy of Mr. Santos and Mr. Villarreal, whose ease, chemistry and humor never flag". Rob Staeger of
The Village Voice commented "Thanks to the shakiest of shaky-cams, you don't know whether to wince or lose your lunch". According to Inkoo Kang of the
Los Angeles Times, "The scariest thing about
Ghost Team One is the horror-comedy's blatant racial minstrelsy". Writing for
The Philadelphia Inquirer, Tirdad Derakhshani called a film "A terrible yet lovable take on the haunted-house yarn". ==References==
