Paranormal Prison (2021)
The impending demolition of an abandoned prison has the paranormal investigation team "The Skeptic and the Scientist" rushed to spend a locked-in night within the prison's walls before the wrecking balls start swinging turning the now state historical building to condos.

Knowing their channel needs views, team leader Matthew (Todd Haberkorn) funds one last-ditch effort in hopes the device science expert Sara (Paris Warner) has invented will be their ticket to fame and fortune. Along with their sound technician Ashley (Coryn Treadwell), cameraman Jacob (Brian Telestai) and guided by their assigned park ranger, the team recorded everything, hoping to capture elusive spirits. What they captured instead will change paranormal investigation forever, and may have even solved a long-standing mystery.

    meh

    Acting was okay, but ultimate storyline was so plot hole filled it was ludicrous. The anagrams and and acronyms were cheesy (ghost/sthog and SKEPTC) and the missing killer lady plot point went nowhere- yeah they figured out how she escaped.....AND?!? What purpose did it serve? It's not like they tracked her down and figured out where she lived after she escaped. THAT would have been helpful. And the guard? "we saw him on your wall". You mean above the plaques that were dated in the last century,but you didn't blink an eye at the resemblance? And for 4 roses to be an overwhelming theme around the character,they only had one section of roses. You would have though rose references would be everywhere,but no,just one bush,that's it. Overall a even less than mediocre movie. It's too late for me,i can't unsee this. But you have been warned. Save yourself!

    It is good for B horror

    This is not the type of movie that you can rate like a top notch horror flick with millions of dollars in budget. The story was engaging enough to distract and was good for what it is a low budget horror flick. Unlike most of the ones I see though the acting was not bad at all that was my basis for an extra star. I have a movie rating system of my own and that is if I turn off my Scrabble Go while I'm watching it definitely wasn't terrible 😂 I saw a review on this site a few days ago that really resonated with me and that is that people are so strict and persnickety when they review that people wonder why we don't have any original content anymore and only have rehash trash marvel movies and cash grab sympathy drivel and the answer is that it's because of us. The first person who questioned the "realism" in a fantasy or Sci Fi movie giving it 1 star started a downward spiral and caused people not to watch on the basis of that one star. Frankly studios won't risk anything anymore because they cannot afford to. If this movie had access to a bigger budget it probably could have been great.

    Pretty lame

    Very dull movie, bad story line, acting is even worse. Seen some better found footage style movies.. Better luck next time...

    Really BAD movie.

    Well......I am a massive fan of found footage/cam corder movies but this was a really terrible attempt at a scary paranormal movie. There was no atmosphere no tension n no suspense whatsoever. It was diabolical.

    The acting was atrocious n over the top.

    The ending was completely predictable n silly.

    I am afraid that I can not recommend this film n ruin my reputation as a movie buff n also waste 71mins of your time.
