    Worse Movie of all time

    I like to watch bad movies for these reasons, these type of train wreck films are fun and the film might turn out to be a delightful gem. I didn't have fun watching Ganzfeld nor is it a delightful gem.

    The bad films I have seen at least try to have an interesting story. Even how bad the director is at least he or she tried to create a creative piece of work.

    The Director of Ganzfeld didn't give a hoot about creativity. Furthermore, he and the screenwriter didn't know what type of movie this was suppose to be.

    This film came across as a mixture of paranormal slasher stoner soft core .

    For all you bad movie fans avoid this film.

    80 minute ad for cocaine

    This movie had about 20 minutes worth of potential substance, padded with 60 minutes of absolutely useless filler. It starts out with some kids attempting some kind of ESP experiment in a seemingly abandoned house. For a while I thought it had potential, but quickly realized I had made a grave miscalculation. Right from the get go we are thrust into the middle of the story with no explanation or background given whatsoever. After about 20 minutes of throwing random images and dialog at the viewer in hopes of building up a creepy and mystic atmosphere (scenes of the first stages of the experiment) I guess the producers were like "ok well dang...that's all we got" and then scrambled to find another hours worth of footage to use so they could call this a film. The bulk of the remainder of the movie is softcore porn and nonstop shots of people doing cocaine. Like, they literally do at least 50 lines of coke in the span of one day. After a few minutes of this it becomes painfully obvious that the concept of a film has been thrown out the window in favor of endless cheap sleaze. The majority of the film felt like a clichéd, unimaginative music video without direction (oh, they even play some really annoying dubstep for a while over unnecessary scenes of partying). Ultimately there is NO point to this movie whatsoever and I have no idea why they even bothered to make it. No story, no character development, nothing. There are very few scenes which have anything to do with the supposed plot; most of which were comprised of choppy "visions", super cheesy ghost...sister...thing(still not sure what that was about and don't care enough to find out), and some convoluted voice-over meant to sound deep while attempting to mask the complete lack of genuine depth or plot. Do not waste your time unless you're just looking for footage of teens partying. The people in charge of this film (writer, director) need to move to another profession as they seem to have a gross lack of understanding as to what a movie is.

    Possibly worst film I have seen

    Using equipment from a #banned 1950s test, a group of students conduct a series of psychological experiments into telepathy, with horrorific consequences.

    Miscast bruce willis daughter rumer willis is the "hot" party girl and serious college girl taylor cole who has a nosejob and teeth whitened.

    No 50s equipment used, just a tape recorder and early 2000 #videocamera and a late 90s laptop, using standard esp tests, from 1 room to another guessing cards, the screens flicker with images of different stuff (which was the idea of the experiment, no equipment needed for it!).

    People snort about a kilo of cocaine over a day during the experiment and a bottle of whisky and some boring lesbian sex and get even more arsey and paranoid.

    Maybe less drugs sex and booze with people you don't like?

    Are you wondering why this is bad? Because it is just a mess. Miscast, no logic, bad story even he sex scenes are boring.

    Its a struggle to watch. And I watch a LOT of low budget films.

    Director michael oblowitz did a lot on this film, being producer, writer and sound designer too.

    One to avoid that fella.

    I like bad films, but boring is the one sin, no matter budget that I cannot forgive.

    Watched on amazon prime as The ganzfeld possession the ganzfeld haunting Whatever name, this is 90 mins of cringy boredom.

    Sorta Interesting

    A poorly organized and presented plot of some merit and interest. Drugs and alcohol are waaaay overdone and thus distracting. Cole is credible and since the others are so weak she seems to be out of place.

    It's Real!! The Ganzfeld Experiment Is Real!!!!

    Our final psychology assignment of the year....at a neutral location!!!!!

    Okay so there's a little bit of experiment....

    Then theres a mountain of blow and long extended scenes of drug use.....

    -1 Star for the mountain of drug use.....

    Ooo then we get a Rumor Willis strip tease and some on top of the clothes lezbian action. Throw in a guy for a little orgy start.... This is what drugs do...yes , yes they sometimes do!!!!

    -1 Star for who wears that kinda of underwear to the final psychology assignment of the year??? lol....and who brings that amount of dope????

    Hey at least the girls are still in their underwear and ready for action when the haunting type stuff begins!!!

    Looks like they brought plenty of whiskey to drink as well to their 'experiment'...

    I like when the 1 guy accuses the other guy of snorting too much blow when he's trying to take advantage of one of the girls who snorted just as much if not more.... that's style and class right there.....

    then Lucky wakes up and starts snorting more blow while her nose is still bleeding from the last round...

    -1 Star for when girl starts really losing her ....mind...well what is left of it after all the dope she's on....

    How they got a couple of decent actors for the scenes at the end I'll never know... but the damage is already done....and the detectives....boy they still got some bad lines.....

    What a horrible, stinking, pile of excrement.

    2/10

    • Trivia
      When it came time for Taylor Cole and Rumor Willis to kiss on the couch, neither could do so without drinking alcohol before hand to lower their inhibitions. Later, Cole became so intoxicated she mooned the set a number of times later that night. For the rest of the movie, the entire cast and production crew called her "Winkin' Pink Brown Eye".

      Young Beckett: [narrating] These are the events that happened that fateful day. The events that led to my reuniting with my sister. It's all about fate.
