Killer Contact

How does crap like this get aired? Like other reviewers, I thought this was actually a tongue-in-cheek parody of the typical, lame "paranormal" show. It's not.

They - sadly - mean every ludicrous, hammed-up, over the top moment to be taken seriously. How anyone in the cast can keep a straight face when they look at one another and not burst out laughing, I don't know.

It's actually embarrassing - when I realized that they mean it and are serious, I was so embarrassed for them that I had to change the channel.

UNWATCHABLE

Being an enthusiast for paranormal shows, I was looking forward to watching this show, and then I saw it....

Where to start. The team members and their roles is juvenile - in particular the "aggressor" - insert eye roll.

Like others have said before me - isn't it miraculous that a Romanian ghost can understand English and modern technology. Especially when they said "head towards the antenna".... Hang on a sec - would a ghost from the 1400's understand an invention that was made in the late 1800's. I suppose it doesn't matter, no speak English.

The other thing that annoys me is they have all these gadgets - emf, night cameras - but they can't take a temperature gauge to prove that "it's getting colder in here". Slack investigating.

I cannot take this show. It is poorly executed. If you are into paranormal shows - don't waste your time on this one. Watch paint dry in stead - at least that would be less irritating.

I was honestly excited about the show at first, it didn't take long for them to ruin that. I won't go into detail you can watch the show for yourself and form your own opinion. But things to look for: Absolute Horrid Camera Crew.... even though there's five of them AND cameramen and yet they see things all the time but never get visual evidence (epic fail), Conclusion Jumping...they get an emf spike and form these crazy conclusions on who it is and what they want in a matter of seconds, Evidence Review...they hardly repeat the electronic voice phenomenons so the audience can listen several times and if they do their listening skills are extremely poor (they make words and phrases out of them that sound nothing like the evps). Bottom line is this an absolute amateur investigation crew and they have no idea what they're doing. Ignorance is bliss in their case.

As a kid did you think Johny Quest was cool? If you did, and you didn't grow out of it, you might think the show Killer Contact is right up your alley. Perhaps it's the fantasy job you projected yourself in after a few too many views of Ghostbusters.

What I'm getting at that Killer Contact is simply a travelogue paranormal (a pure entertainment that's not particularly entertaining), show built around ghost busting. The only real thing is that these shows are usually built around historic crimes or dead people involved in historic crimes...the rest veers into, sorry if you're wholly invested, fiction with more than just a dollop of silliness. These guys on the Killer Contact Team make sure they solve mysteries by their extremely clunky "high tech" investigations. It all reeks of stuff concocted and made up for the show.

If I was an 8-year old pubescent kid I would probably think this is the coolest thing. I'm not, it ain't, and I don't see this going too many episodes and certainly not a second season. As for one who has thought shows like Paranormal Witness do some serious reporting as well as entertainment in the paranormal field this show just seems juvenile…slick, but ridiculous.

Pretty good evidence but it felt over produced. Some of these shows just need to take a step back and let the organic fear hold the attention of the audience.
