Plot
Max Doyle (Corey Fogelmanis) and Cammie Cahill (Sophie Reynolds) are now boyfriend and girlfriend. In an attempt to help Cammie collect money for a dance competition, Max invites fellow students to his house for a "ghost" show. When he accidentally "summons" a spirit revealing it to be Lulu, the students angrily flee with their money. Cammie breaks up with him. He then discovers a crystal, which is the key to Phears (the main antagonist) remaining in the mortal world. After Phears takes over the body of a local television show host and captures Max's two ghost friends (Nicky and Tara), Max goes to rescue them. He sends Phears back to the other realm forever, but Nicky and Tara's parents are still trapped in Elsewhere until the most evil ghost of all is sent back. While Max had believed it to be Phears, the fact that Nicky and Tara's parents don't return prove there is a worse ghost out there.

Reception
Common Sense Media gave a two-out-of-five rating to the film, stating, "It doesn't take much more than silly situations, primitive special effects, and over-the-top villains to entertain kids who like spooky movies as undemanding and relatively scare-free as this one....It's harmless entertainment set in a teen environment without substance or depth, and it's only appropriate for kids who are old enough to fully understand that the scares are make-believe."
