The Sleepless Unrest: The Real Conjuring Home

Why do directors insist on putting spooky music and sound effects into documentaries about ghosts? If you need the added hype you have a boring documentary. If something is going on we can't hear it through your added noise. How many times did someone aske if others heard something and the audience has no idea what they are talking about.

Great premise th though. I like the 2 week stay. For such a haunted location they really didn't come back with much.

The title says it all. Boring. Nothing really happens. You never hear any of the "sounds" they reportedly hear and, as others have pointed out, the added sounds effects actually deter from any real evidence. It's a must skip.

If you want to watch a movie about nothing, where nothing happens and it's just a bunch of grown adults sleeping and walking around with cameras, then this movie is for you.

So the synopsis is simple. Go to a house that has been made famous by a few movies that have used Hollywood license and forced coaxing and encouragement to make people's stories "scary" by a couple of professed "demonologists" and "psychics" Ed and Lorraine Warren and film some "strange occurrences" supposedly happening in the home, but of course not caught on video or audio (why am I not surprised?).

Next, make sure you say "did you see that?" and "did you hear that?" while the people viewing sit there dumbfounded because we didn't see or hear a thing, and apparently neither did the cameras or audio because they didn't playback ANY audio or video for us to make up our minds on the matter. Not one time. You would think that if there was such things occurring in the house then there would be plenty of evidence (not just hearsay and not just the word of the owners saying they experienced anything). But, there is not. Just a bunch of people sleeping, running around with cameras and finding absolutely nothing.

Save your time. Save your money. Save your sanity and skip this drivel. They could have at least added CGI and special effects like all these ghost hunting shows to make it more interesting, but no. Even Ghost Adventures has at least something in it worth scratching your head over. This had nothing. Just a music box which could easily be explained and another monitor in the attic that could also be explained easily. Defective equipment. I can't tell you how many times my Playstation went off by itself. It wasn't due to a ghost not liking that I was beating the Dodgers 3-1 in baseball, it was due to the fact that it has spotty firmware/software and perhaps my Playstation 4 was overheating.

These things can easily be explained naturally, not supernaturally. Orbs? Dust. It's almost always dust. Or an insect near the lens. But a spirit? Seriously? No, it's dust, or an insect. I think people want it to be something supernatural so much that they will say anything to help them believe that it is. "I heard the floor creak! It's a ghost!" No, it's just the house settling. Just like your bones popping as you're moving around or walking. It wasn't a ghost.

Ghost hunters who claim to be professionals usually act more professional and don't run around making alot of noise and screaming. They might even catch some actual footage of paranormal activity if they weren't acting like 6 year Olds. Next time leave squealing women at home and see if you can actually make a movie that has some haunting in it.

This investigation had the potential to be amazing. What ruined it for me was the distraction of the cheesy sound effects and background tracks. They should have omitted that mess, or hired someone who knew what they were doing. This could have been a great, believable investigation.
