Equal parts bizarre and brilliant.

[Florian] Habicht's disarming interview technique and genuine love for what the workers at the theme park are achieving lifts this into a happily surreal and very personal realm.

Spookers is hilarious, heartbreaking, exciting, frightening and important. This is what cinema is about - telling stories that you didn't know existed, and subverting what the traditional narrative of those stories would usually be.

Spookers raises a fascinating point: are we blissfully inattentive to offensive mental health characterizations?

Overall, Spookers is a film whose constituent parts don't quite fit together, but nevertheless remains an eminently watchable piece of documentary filmmaking.

4/5

At just 83 minutes, it's an easily digestible piece that shows the scary monsters of Spookers through a much more human lens.

A New Zealand's scream park opens its doors to the backstage. An opportunity for viewers and visitors to explore the park and the workers' stories behind the curtains. An entertaining documentary.

A documentary about the workers in the largest haunted house in the southern hemisphere. The people really go all out and take the time/effort to get into their horror zone and also re their application of make up to be scary monsters, zombies, etc. They are all lonely people (which is sad to hear) hence they really look forward to this work.
