Ghosthunters On Icy Trails (2015)

Ghosthunters On Icy Trails (2015) Full Recap

A group of young boys sneak into the yard of an abandoned house to play football. One of them eventually kicks the ball into the house, and as the boys look scared of going in to get it because they've heard stories of how the place is haunted, they all leave the yard and head home. Interestingly, the ball continues moving around the house until it gets to the cellar and hits a wall, which suddenly turns to ice. Elsewhere, a boy named Tom closely looks at the ice cube inside his cup while sitting at the dining table.

His sister, Lola, gets to the kitchen and tells her parents, Phil and Patricia, that she has to head out to do some things for her science project. Phil says the science stuff can wait, and Patricia mentions that they'll be having lunch together as a family. Lola cannot believe that they're actually stopping her from going out, and as she mentions that they probably hate her, they just joke about it. Just then, Phil tells Lola to go to the cellar to bring him a bottle of wine.

Lola says her brother is the one who is supposed to do that, and as she refers to Tom as Psycho boy, Phil tells her to stop calling him weird names. Lola doesn't seem to care about this, and as she calls Tom a freak, Phil mentions that she has to understand the fact that her brother has a highly developed imagination, which sometimes makes him a bit nervous and scared. Patricia also defends Tom, but Lola still insults her brother because she thinks he's weird. Almost immediately, Tom tells her to stop calling him weird names, and he also tells his dad that he's not odd or nervy.

Phil then tells Tom that it's okay for a man to be sacred sometimes. Tom says he knows, and he offers to go to the cellar to bring the bottle of wine. Phil and Patricia look impressed to see that Tom isn’t scared, and they encourage him to do it. As Tom leaves the table, Lola tries to scare him by talking about spiders, zombies, and other things that her brother is scared of, but he just ignores her.

He then opens the cellar door and heads down the stairs slowly. Even though he looks scared, he remains courageous and picks up the bottle of wine. Before he leaves the cellar, though, a green slimy liquid suddenly falls on his shirt, and as he wonders what it is, he looks up and sees a green ghost, who tries to scare him. Tom looks really scared and runs away, but the ghost tries to stop him because he was only messing around.

Tom doesn't seem to care about this, and he just heads out before locking the door. He looks relieved that nothing happened to him, but as he walks to the dining table, Lola scares him, and he drops the bottle of wine. Tom doesn't look happy about this, and he just heads up to his room. Elsewhere, two Ghosthunters, Cuminseed and Smith, who work for the Central Ghostfighting Institute, or CGI, head into the sewer to find a ghost.

Smith manages to track down the ghost using a spectrum meter, and he tells his partner that there seems to be extremely high spectral activity down in the sewer. As he then tells Cuminseed to get ready to shoot down the ghost to capture it, she struggles to operate the machine, and Smith looks disappointed by this. He eventually notices that the sewer is unusually cold, and as the ghost gets closer, Cuminseed misses her target and accidentally shoots Smith instead. When Cuminseed realizes her mistake, she looks shocked and complains that she doesn't like writing accident reports.

Shortly after, Cuminseed returns to the CGI headquarters with Smith, who has now shrunk in size. As they meet their boss, Hopkins, Cuminseed mentions that the ghost they went after was running away from something when they got to the scene. She adds that whatever is causing other ghosts to run away must be very dangerous and powerful. Hopkins then mentions that she wants to talk about what happened and how Smith got shot.

Smith accuses Cuminseed of never following orders, and Hopkins mentions that all CGI operatives have to be team players. Cuminseed says she has caught more ghosts while working alone, but Hopkins mentions that she's always reckless. Cuminseed still tries to defend herself, but Hopkins says she'll have to let her go. Cuminseed looks shocked and tells Hopkins not to do that because her job is her life.

Hopkins doesn't seem to care about this, and she tells Cuminseed to clear her desk before leaving. Smith looks happy about this, and Cuminseed heads out of the office looking disappointed. Elsewhere, Tom says sorry to the cleaning lady, Mrs Kubicheck, for making her clean up the broken wine bottle. Mrs Kubicheck says it's not a problem, and Tom asks if she has ever noticed anything strange in the cellar.

Kubicheck asks if he's talking about a ghost, but Tom denies this and says he didn't mean that. He then asks if Kubicheck thinks ghosts are real, and she says that she does. She adds that the green slime down in the cellar could've only come from a ghost. Tom asks if she isn't scared of the ghost, but Kubicheck says there's no reason for her to be scared because it hasn't attacked her.

Tom doesn't get this, but Kubicheck mentions that her late husband's ghost frequently tried to attack her. She also mentions that she had to call someone to put a stop to that before things could get worse. As Tom asks who she called, Kubicheck says it was a Ghosthunter named Cuminseed. Tom then asks if Kubicheck still has Cuminseed's address, and she says that she does.

After a while, Tom rides his bike to Cuminseed's house, but when he gets there, she refuses to let him in because she doesn't believe that his house is really haunted. As Tom then mentions Kubicheck's name, Cuminseed looks shocked and lets him in. When he sees her, she talks about Kubicheck's husband's ghost and how she dealt with it. Tom then asks if the ghost filling his cellar with green slime is similar to the one she helped Kubicheck with.

Cuminseed says it sounds more like an ASG, and as Tom asks what she means, she says it's an acronym for Averagely Spooky Ghost. She adds that they're usually harmless, but that she'll advise Tom to stay out of the cellar. Tom asks what would happen when it comes up to the living room, and Cuminseed just gives him a book that contains all he needs to know to drive the ghost away. As she says that she doesn't need the book anymore, she tells him to have a nice life before closing the door.

Tom doesn't seem to get this, but as he opens the book, he sees that it's a training manual for ghosthunters to learn about different ghosts and how to take them down. Later that night, while Tom is reading the book, Phil comes into his room to inform him that he and Patricia are heading to a Salsa class. As Patricia mentions that Lola will have to stay with her brother, she looks disappointed because she had plans to go out with her friends. Patricia doesn't seem to care about this, and she insists that Lola has to stay at home with Tom.

After they leave the house, Lola's friends arrive to pick her up, and she tells Tom that she's going out. Tom doesn't believe this, but Lola says she can't let him ruin her social life. She adds that he needs to stop being a scaredy-cat, but Tom says he isn't one. As she then tells him to prove it, she leaves the house with her friends.

Shortly after, Tom gets some popcorn and decides to watch a scary movie. As the movie starts to get really scary, Tom looks terrified and is unaware that the green ghost is now sitting beside him. After he turns off the TV because the movie is too scary, the Green Ghost eats some popcorn and tells him to put it back on. Tom looks incredibly scared by this, and he quickly runs away to his room.

He then finds the ghosthunter manual and figures out some of the green ghost's weak points. Interestingly, it turns out that ASGs like the green ghost hate the color red, the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven, and orange juice, which can act as an acid against them. Following this, Tom wears one of his sister's red dresses and loads his toy gun with orange juice. As he then returns to the living room, he sees the ASG and plays the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven to make it uncomfortable.

After this, he starts trying to shoot the ghost with orange juice, but it just runs away and avoids getting hit. Tom eventually runs out of orange juice in his toy gun, and as he wonders what to do next, he sees another bottle in the kitchen and comes up with a plan. As he then tricks the ASG and pours orange juice on it, the ghost starts melting while saying that he only wanted to be friends with Tom. Tom looks confused by this, but as he pours the melted green jelly on the table into a bowl, Lola returns to the house with her friends, who look shocked to see her brother wearing her dress.

As Lola complains about this, their parents arrive and ask what's going on. Lola tries to pin all the blame on Tom, but he mentions that she doesn't even know what happened because she wasn't at home. Lola tells him to shut up, but Phil warns her to leave Tom alone. Tom then mentions that his parents don't really care about him because they just leave him alone at home all the time.

As he says that no one would even believe what happened, he heads to his room with the jelly. He then lies on his bed and says that he didn't really mean for anything bad to happen to the ASG. The next morning, Tom wakes up and sees that the jelly is no longer in the bowl. As he looks confused, he realizes that the ASG has become whole again, and it's currently sleeping.

Even though he tries not to disturb it, he accidentally makes a sound that wakes up the ASG. Tom then asks if the ASG is fine, and it just tells him to take off the red dress. After he does this, the ASG talks about how it's now looking pale. The ASG adds that it had to leave the abandoned house where it used to live because something evil came in and froze everything.

Tom then checks the book and reads that when ASGs leave their ancestral haunting location and can't return before the next full moon, they'll be driven into a realm called the beyond. Tom looks shocked by this, and he realizes that something bad might happen to the ASG if it doesn't return to the abandoned house in the neighborhood. Tom doesn't tell the ASG anything about this, but as his dad is about to enter his room, he tells the green ghost to hide. Just then, Phil comes in and apologizes for what happened the previous day, but Tom says it was his fault, and that Lola might be right about something being wrong with him.

Phil tells him not to think like that, and he mentions that he and Patricia will always be there for him. After Phil leaves the room, the ASG asks Tom what they'll do next, and he says they'll go to see someone. Following this, they head to Cuminseed's apartment building, and as she sees Tom, she looks confused and wonders what he wants. As he then follows her to her apartment, he tells her that the ASG, who he now calls Hugo, told him about an Ice ghost that drove him out of where he used to live.

Cuminseed doesn't believe this because such ghosts have gone extinct, and she even locks him out of her apartment. However, as he mentions that he read the book she gave him and discovered that Ice Ghosts cause other ghosts to retreat, she opens the door and invites him in. Cuminseed then asks about what Hugo told him, and Tom mentions that the ASG claimed that the Ice Ghost froze everything in his home. He adds that it's now spreading because the city is unusually cold.

Cuminseed still thinks Hugo is lying, and as she finds him inside Tom's bag, she kicks him out of her apartment. Tom doesn't get this, but Cuminseed says that ASGs are useless. Tom says that Hugo is his friend, and that they have to help him before the next full moon. Suddenly, Hugo returns to the apartment and tells Tom that he doesn't like Cuminseed.

Tom then asks Cuminseed what she plans to do about the Ice Ghost, and she tells him to tell her where the house is located. After Tom gives her the address, Cuminseed tells him and Hugo to stay back while she goes to check it out. Elsewhere, at the CGI headquarters, the operatives notice that some ghosts in the area are now leaving their regular haunting location. Hopkins mentions that Cuminseed might be right about them being scared of a bigger ghost, but Smith says that the ghosts are just scared of the CGI.

Hopkins looks confused by this, and she asks if there's an explanation for why the city is unusually cold. Smith says it's simply a result of climate change, and that he's sure Cuminseed was wrong. Meanwhile, Cuminseed arrives at the abandoned house and notices that the door is very cold. As she peeks in through the keyhole, she notices that the entire house is frozen.

Before she thinks of what to do next, Tom and Hugo suddenly show up, and she asks why they followed her. Tom says they thought they could help, but Cuminseed doesn't seem interested in this. As Hugo then talks about the house, Tom asks if that's where he has always lived. Hugo says he has lived there for 150 years, which includes both before and after his demise.

Almost immediately, Cuminseed notices a strange reading on her spectrum meter, and before she realizes what's happening, the Ice Ghost blows the door open. As the ice then spreads around the house and the yard, Cuminseed quickly leaves with Tom and Hugo. Shortly after, Hugo blames Cuminseed for what happened, and she just traps him with her machine. As Tom wonders what she's doing, she says that taking the ASG to the CGI is the only way they'll be able to enter the building and get whatever they want.

After this, they both head to the CGI headquarters, and when they get there, Cuminseed tells the lady at the reception that she wants to drop off an ASG. The lady asks why Tom is with her, and she mentions that she's also dropping him off because he's possessed. Just then, they're allowed to go into the main hall, and there, Tom looks impressed to see all the creatures inside the building. Shortly after, Cuminseed and Tom get to Hopkins’ office and hear her talking to her mom, who is complaining about her frozen koi pond.

Cuminseed then mentions that she knows why the pond is frozen, and that she just had a run-in with an EAIG. Hopkins looks shocked to see Cuminseed back at the CGI headquarters, but as she checks her computer, she realizes that EAIG is an acronym for European Ancient Ice Ghost. She also discovers that it's a very dangerous ghost that has gone extinct since 1830. Hopkins says there's no reason to worry about it if it's extinct, but Cuminseed insists that the EAIG is the reason why the city is now cold.

She adds that she would like to be in charge of a mission to take it down, but Hopkins says she can't allow that because Cuminseed was just suspended for her incompetence. Tom says they can't waste any time because something bad might happen to Hugo if he doesn't return to the house in three days. Hopkins doesn't know who he is, but she assumes that he's Cuminseed's new partner. As Cuminseed realizes that Hopkins won't let her lead the mission, she leaves the office with Tom.

When they get outside, Tom says he didn't know she was fired, and Cuminseed mentions that she worked there for many years. Tom still believes that they have to do something to stop the EAIG, but Cuminseed says it's too dangerous. Tom says they need to come up with a plan and work as a real team. Cuminseed doesn't think a team of her, Tom, and Hugo can do much, but Tom mentions that the ASG can be very useful because he knows his way around the house.

Cuminseed agrees to work with Hugo, but she mentions that she can't take Tom along because he's still a kid. Hugo insists that he wants Tom to join them, but Cuminseed says there's no way his parents would agree to let him fight ghosts. Tom says he can handle that, and after a while, he takes Cuminseed to his house to pose as a mental health expert who can help him deal with everything he's going through. Phil and Patricia don't seem sure about this, but Cuminseed assures them that he's in good hands.

Following this, Tom starts going to Cuminseed's apartment regularly, and they start working on a plan to catch the EAIG. They also check out the ghosthunting manual, which was actually written by a man named Fjorsen. Interestingly, it turns out that Fjorsen was the last person to encounter an EAIG, but he only gave a brief account of what happened. Since they need to know more, Cuminseed suggests going to the library to find Fjorsen's original copy of the book.

Much later, Cuminseed manages to get the book out of the library, and they realize that Fjorsen really went into battle against the EAIG. On the way back to the car, Tom hears a strange voice calling him. He looks surprised by this, but as the voice tells him to come closer, he realizes that it's coming from the drain hole near the library that now appears to be frozen. As he walks toward it, Cuminseed notices that something is wrong, and she calls him to come back to the car.

When he gets there, Cuminseed says he looks like he has seen a ghost, but Tom says he thinks he just heard one. Cuminseed doesn't understand this, but Tom just reads Fjorsen's book and figures out that he used something called LEDS to fight the EAIG. Cuminseed says that LEDS is short for Living Ectoplasmic Deceased Souls, and that they're tiny glowing ghosts that look like little worms. Tom then reads that they can use a motion trap to capture the EAIG using the LEDS.

Cuminseed seems to understand this, and she mentions that LEDS usually appear after midnight, and that they'll have to go to the cemetery to get them. Tom and Hugo look scared of this, but Cuminseed insists that they still have to go there. Later that night, Cuminseed heads into the cemetery with Tom and tells Hugo to stay outside. After a while, Cuminseed struggles with the LEDS until she eventually catches a couple of them.

As she then leaves the cemetery with Tom, she sees Smith and some other agents waiting to take the LEDS from her. They also happen to have trapped Hugo, and Smith accuses Cuminseed of disobeying orders and illegally obtaining the LEDS. After he gets it taken from her, Tom mentions that they need the LEDS to help Hugo, but Smith says he should be worrying about what to tell his parents. As he also mentions that Hugo will be killed, Tom looks disappointed and says that the ASG only wants to help.

He adds that Cuminseed is right about the CGI being useless. Smith doesn't think so, and he mentions that Cuminseed is just an old bitter relic. Shortly after, Smith drops Tom off at his house while posing as an official from juvenile services. As Phil and Patricia scold Tom for tricking them and following a stranger, he mentions that the officials who dropped him off are actually CGI agents.

Phil and Patricia don't believe this, and Tom seems pissed that they never really understand him. He also mentions that everything he did will be for nothing in a few days because Hugo will be killed. His parents don't understand this, but he just heads to his room and thinks about the time he spent with Hugo and Cuminseed. Elsewhere, Smith tries to get Hugo to tell him Cuminseed's plan and the address of the house where the EAIG originated.

Hugo refuses to do this despite being threatened, but he eventually gives up the address after talking too much. The next day, Tom sneaks out of the house and heads to Cuminseed's apartment, only to see that she's already packing her things. Tom looks surprised by this, but Cuminseed says that the city is doomed, and that she's not going to wait to see what happens next. Tom looks disappointed by this, and he mentions that he can't leave because his family resides there.

He also says that Cuminseed doesn't really care about anyone, and that's why she's willing to leave, instead of fighting to save Hugo and everyone in the city. As he says that Smith was right about her, he leaves the apartment, and Cuminseed looks disappointed. Before Tom heads back home, though, Cuminseed goes downstairs and tells him to come with her because they have a job to do. Tom looks happy about this, and they both head to the CGI headquarters.

After they save Hugo, he tells them that he accidentally told Smith where to find the EAIG. Cuminseed looks worried that Smith can't handle the ghost, and as she opens the elevator, she realizes that the EAIG has broken into the CGI. She immediately runs away with Tom and Hugo, and they find a place to hide. As Cuminseed says that they need to act fast, they walk through a place filled with fog, and Tom gets lost there.

Cuminseed eventually tells him to follow her voice to find her, and as he does this, he sees that there's already a huge layer of ice blocking the way. Cuminseed then tells him to find the store room and retrieve the LEDS. She also mentions that they'll meet again in the control room. Tom initially looks scared because he doesn't think he can do it, but Hugo and Cuminseed encourage him.

After this, Tom gets the LEDS and bumps into Hopkins as he leaves the room. Hopkins looks worried that the CGI is haunted, and as she realizes that Tom is Cuminseed's new partner, she asks for Cuminseed. Tom then takes her to the control room and tells her about Fjorsen. After getting some weapons from the armory, Cuminseed and Hugo meet them in the control room.

Hopkins looks happy to see them, and she mentions that Cuminseed is her last hope of taking down the monster. Tom then asks what the plan is, but Cuminseed just takes the LEDS away from him and tells him to stay back. As he says that he wants to come along, Cuminseed sounds quite harsh and tells him to leave the adults to do their jobs. After she walks away, Tom looks sad and cries, but Hopkins consoles him.

As Tom then looks at Fjorsen's book again, Hopkins asks how Fjorsen defeated the EAIG. Tom says it's not in the book, and Hopkins mentions that the EAIG in the CGI might be the same one Fjorsen fought against many years ago. Meanwhile, Cuminseed and Hugo get attacked by the EAIG, but they manage to find a place to hide. As they plan what to do next, Tom continues reading the book and gets to a part where Fjorsen said that only warmth can drain the EAIG's power.

Fjorsen also mentioned that he's no longer able to generate the kind of warmth needed to take down the EAIG. Tom wonders what this means, and as Hopkins thinks he wants to burn down the CGI, she says she can’t let him do that. Elsewhere, Cuminseed shoots the EAIG with the LEDS, and as it gets weaker, she hears Tom's voice begging her to save him because the evil ghost has caught him. Cuminseed looks shocked by this, and she starts walking toward the EAIG.

Hugo doesn’t understand what’s happening, and as Tom also sees this, he realizes that the EAIG is trying to lure Cuminseed closer. He then tries to use the microphone to tell her that he's safe, but she doesn't hear him. As the EAIG eventually swallows Cuminseed, Hopkins says that she must've really liked Tom for her to risk her life like that. Tom then figures out that the warmth Fjorsen meant is related to friendship and affection.

He adds that Fjorsen didn't have any friends with him, and that's why he couldn't stop the EAIG. Tom mentions that he believes the EAIG took Cuminseed away because it's scared of their friendship being good enough to defeat it. Following this, he leaves the control room and heads down, only to see Hugo getting frozen. Tom looks shocked by this, but he just picks up the last batch of LEDS and jumps into the EAIG's mouth.

Just then, he sees himself in a snowy place, with Cuminseed still unconscious on the ground. After he wakes her up, he tells her what he just discovered and makes her confess that she likes him and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. As he also says that he likes Cuminseed, he releases the last batch of LEDS while they both shout that they're friends. This drains the EAIG's power, and as they get back to the CGI, Hugo traps the evil ghost into a cube of ice, and Cuminseed destroys it.

Before Tom and Cuminseed can take Hugo back to the abandoned house so that he'll feel much better, Smith comes in with some other agents and tries to arrest Cuminseed for breaking into the CGI. However, Hopkins shows up and shrinks him again before asking if Cuminseed can come back to her team. Cuminseed says she now has her own team, but that Hopkins can always call on them if they're the last hope of stopping a dangerous ghost. Following this, Cuminseed and Tom take Hugo back to the house, and as he wakes up, he gets stronger and flies around happily.

As Tom then leaves with Cuminseed, he asks if she was scared back at the CGI when the EAIG swallowed her. Even though Tom had always believed that Cuminseed wasn't scared of anything, she says that she nearly wet herself, and they both laugh about this. After finding a ghost in the cellar, Tom goes to meet Cuminseed, who has just been suspended from the CGI. Even though she initially doesn’t seem interested in helping him, she eventually realizes that Hugo knows about a bigger ghost that is trying to freeze the entire city.

Cuminseed tries to warn Hopkins about this, but she refuses to believe that there is an evil ice ghost in the city. Since no one else wants to do anything about the ghost, Cuminseed teams up with Tom to fight it, and they both manage to destroy it by using the warmth of their friendship to drain its power.
