An uninspired story but that's alright. I like indie films but what I can't stand is a total lack of any illusion of sound editing. You literally couldn't hear normal conversations unless you crank it up and then the music, sound effects and tracking/ static that are inserted every 20-30 seconds nearly blew my speakers out.
Please, try to be professional by finding a good sound editor. Please...

This one has got first-time director written all over it. Christopher Maggard tries hard to impress by using every visual trick he can think of - again and again and again. And again. The tired old plot sees a group of paranormal investigators visiting an abandoned school in which a young girl and her abusive teacher died, and it has to be said that they're embarrassingly quick to panic when faced with evidence of the paranormal activity they are after. They then spend 62 of the following 72 minutes slowly walking through dimly-lit corridors calling out to one another
Frustrating

The sounds, the scary voices, the music, it was all too loud and made it frustrating to watch. I can respect people trying to make a movie without money or real actors but with the flashes that were meant to be scary, were just irritating. Then you have what I'm guessing was a black light for effects, just didn't work. The married couple, I didn't even know they were together until later. I thought she was an older manager type, who sleeps with her clients. No connection at all. I laughed at the teacher flashback though, for that you get a 1.
Good grief

This film sucks. Acting: terrible, scripting: terrible, historic detail: terrible, "fear factor": terrible. There's absolutely nothing good or even mediocre about this movie at all. Even the sound is bad - it veers from high to low volume in a seemingly random manner but may, in fact, be the director's attempt at creating some kind of an "audio atmosphere".
If you're a film student and want to learn how a film should NOT be made, watch this. If you're a masochist who'd love to waste 72 minutes of their life, watch this.

This is by far the most played out setup in horror movies today and it has to stop. Okay, stop me if you've heard this one before. A small group of people go into a supposedly haunted location to try and catch on film proof of paranormal activity. They're warned not to go beforehand but go anyways. When they get there, things do not go according to plan and they do not have a good time.
It is exactly the same as every other bad B movie like it. Horrible acting, cheap jumpscares, bad editing, cheesy makeup, and no originality. It's obvious that movie-makers are running out out of good ideas but this setup has got to end. It's boring, played out, and predictable. 2/10

Haunted place, should stay away, go in anyway, get freaked out...blah, blah, blah...
Oh and let's not forget...talking to the ghosts. Yeah...I'm sure they want to carry on a conversation.
What's so sad is the joke of what paranormal has become, stupidity like this is the norm.
It's bad when you only finish watching a movie just so you can hope everyone dies.
If someone can make a non stupid ghost story movie, please let me know.
Until then, I'll stick with movies like The Gravedancers...where the ghosts, when you see them, actually are creepy.

Everything. Everything is not to like. The two lead characters, a couple than run a small paranormal investigation Tam, are probably the most mismatched couple with the least charisma between them that I've ever seen in a horror movie. They were about as compatible and believable together as Oliver Hardy and Margot Robbie would be. The woman calls her man "Babe" just about every ten seconds of their screen time together.
The premise is that the female lead gets the team into a haunted location that no other team has been allowed into. The locals have run off every other team that has tried. That means that the locals want nothing to do with any paranormal investigators or investigations in the haunted location. So, how does she get them in? She goes to a local and promises to promote his business if he agrees to let them in.
Wait. Hold it.
The locals don't want anyone checking out this haunted Hotspot, but one of them agrees on the condition that the other locals get to learn that he's the one who let this particular team in? So, he's going to piss off the other locals on purpose, after turning away numerous other paranormal investigation teams... on purpose? That's the textbook definition of cutting your nose off to spite your face.
When our crack paranormal investigation squad arrives at the haunted site, they unpack their "sophisticated gear", from cheap plastic shopping bags. Wow, this is really a first rate team here.
For a supposedly experienced team, everyone acts like this is their first investigation, except for the female lead. She isn't any great shakes, but she's leaps and bounds ahead of the others, whom all look and behave as though they were just hired away from a cheap car wash.
This movie blows like a cheap hooked at a Viagra convention, and anyone who had anything whatsoever to do with filming it should be barred from ever making another movie.
