# Ghostbusters Parental Guide
**Ghostbusters** is a PG-13 action-comedy about four women fighting a ghost invasion in New York. While it contains only mild language and horror elements, the strong action violence—including explosions and supernatural combat—makes it better suited for older children (13+) rather than younger viewers.
