violence

There is a sequence in which a more threatening ghost grabs a character and appears to eat them, although what happens is not shown.

threat and horror

There are a number of scary scenes in which people are threatened by ghosts. However, any sense of horror is broken up by the comic remarks of the Ghostbusters and by the lack of harm caused. For example, when ghosts attack, they often leave a green substance behind rather than cause physical harm.

language

There is some use of mild bad language, including 'shit', 'piss' and 'dick'.

sex

There are a few moments of sexual humour that parents might want to be aware of. In one scene, the zipper on a man's trousers is pulled down by an invisible ghostly figure, after which the expression on the man's face suggests something sexual is happening. In another scene, a possessed woman tells a man she wants him 'inside' her.

There are scenes of mild horror as ghosts threaten the city, with scary faces looming at the camera.
