Apartment 143 (2011)
6/10
Packed "Full" Of Frights
12 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is set in an apartment building. The family that is shacked up in it, is haunted by what they think is their dead mother/wife's spirit and call in a team of parapsychologists to try and capture the events on camera and to ultimately try and stop it. The plot was easy enough to follow and wasn't too complicated until the ending which seemed to fly by us like a swarm of wasps leaving us crying with confusions which was disappointing.

The acting came across as if it came from kindergarten whereas the little boy who would of been in kindergarten seemed to have done a better job than the others. The father of the family emphasised his role too much resulting in him whining like a three year old whilst sitting at a table trying to explain the mothers death. The daughter, however, done a good job of acting like a crab floating above her bed, hats off to her. Overall nobody was that impressive.

The effects were nothing special. All seen before in other movies, the frights were sometimes predictable which was disappointing.

Overall, this is a good movie to watch if you enjoy the found-footage horror genre. It is not surprising it didn't win, let alone get nominated for, any awards. However, that does not suggest that this movie shouldn't be given a chance as it does provide a few good unexpected frights that made us hide behind our hands and wet our pants.
