在这部找死來唬秀喜剧/恐怖片中,別家電視台要的是醜聞加緋聞、裸體加屍體，抓鬼實境秀主持人山姆追求的則是冤魂、邪靈和尖叫 聲，要收視率和腎上腺素一起飆升。
但說鬼容易捉鬼難，八股的故事以及千篇一律的特效機關，連膽小的觀眾也留不住。為挽救即將被 腰斬的節目，山姆和團隊決定前往墨西哥知名鬼宅展開精采大秀，沒想到鬼宅威力名不虛傳，開腸 破肚的屍體來真的，他們唬爛的捉鬼功力真能派上用場?要活命還是要收視率?
曾擔任電視節目編劇多年的導演托尼魏斯特，首部劇情長片就拿風靡全美的捉鬼實境節目開刀，精 密器材、攝影鏡頭到古宅怪談應有盡有，卻惡搞造假的特效機關，諷刺為求收視率的不擇手段，出 乎意料的人鬼大戰絕對令人「驚聲尖笑」。
DeadTectives follows a team of hapless paranormal investigators on a reality TV series who go on a quest to Mexico's most haunted house in the pursuit of better ratings. However, when the true dark secrets of the mansion begin to reveal themselves, the hapless presenters quickly discover that this house is no hoax. With zero ghost-hunting skills (or really any other applicable skills) the team has to figure out how to bust the ghosts and escape the house with their lives.
一个令人惊声尖笑的故事。
