In a nut shell your getting 2 hours and 10 minutes of fake ghost hunting with 0 excitement no climax and no resolve.. how anybody could enjoy this is beyond me
You're not going to convince me that you're doing an investigation into the paranormal when you have four different camera angles of one person talking, and none of the angles show the other three cameras or their operators. There's lots of cameras for sure, but they're recording the actors, not the environment.
I thought for sure I was going to be presented with outrageous evidence in conclusion, thus revealing itself to be a fake documentary. Instead, I'm left with underwhelming findings and lame 'reenactments' that are common with this sort of stuff.
In conclusion, I think this movie/episode of this team is very scripted and boring.

The setup and evidence just seemed too "good" to be true; and the inclusion of real-life, respected, former "Ghost Hunters" member Steve Gonsalves really helped to sell it, but at about the 1:35 mark credibility went out the window. A secret, new approach is attempted; and the situation becomes so contrived, and the reactions so in-authentic that the "documentary" went from being an amazing, in-depth, legit, paranormal investigation, to just a pretty lazy indy horror film. Actually, let me say that that was the last straw, since credibility was strained beforehand with some hammy reactions from the actors, and one suspiciously well-timed cat cameo. I was trying to figure out if Haunted Saginaw was the real deal, and descriptions of Mr. Shippy's "organization" are all suspiciously cagey; but I know a very scripted plot twist when I see one. It was fairly intriguing until that point, but once the balloon was popped it all became just a wasted 90 minutes... why even finish it?
Regardless of my skeptical nature, I found this to be interesting. Entertaining at the very least. One must take any produced piece with a grain of salt, and that's no different with this. In comparison to previous installments of this series, the quality has improved quite a bit. Not only in actual production, but in their investigatory method. There are still some "cringe" moments here and there ("mediums" and the like), as well as that typical 'spooky" music whatnot, but that seems almost mandatory with these things (for some reason). While the overall quality has improved, there is still evidence presented that asks quite a bit of me to take at face value. Even though it isn't anything over-the-top, there are times where it feels too much is being made of mundane occurrences, which tarnishes the validity of other findings with doubt.
The film was fun. Like an extender reality ghost th show. Definitely 1.5 hr is what a film like this should be.... not Scorsese length.
Lots of good footage, need a expert doc editor to come and clean it up to give it a tighter narrative
