Paranormal Investigation

With the least original movie title of the decade this is yet another of the very same boring investigation type movie where absolutely nothing happens. Nightvision, screaming, religious hysteria and lots and lots of nothing.

Nothing new there. Well... There is something, when I think a bit more: a genuine sense of authenticity. You believe it is actually happening, for real. The characters are engaging and the acting is very good.

That is obviously the reason I watched it till the end, which I found less believable (how did Andreï succeed in finding such information so so quickly and easily?

And the final scene was utterly predictable, therefore disappponting. That is why three stars are missing...

Many amateur and wannabe filmmakers these days are making possession movies and movies based on the found footage premise; this melds the two together in a "sandwich au merde". Some of them are okay, most are bad, some are awful. This one's awful. It takes the basic premises of "The Exorcist" and "Paranormal Activity", removes all of what made those movies good, and retains the leftovers. This one has every cliché of a film in its genre, except it executes them in a way which leaves you frustrated as hell, and swearing like an angry Frenchman.

I had 2 hours with absolutely nothing to do...................at first, thought this was going to be another lame Blair Witch Project, but from France. Well to my surprise............it was!! Total crap. Do producers actually waste their money doing these? Really? So lame and so many mistakes. Why was most of Dylan's words not translated and put onscreen? So he just happened to have that nice freshly pressed officer's uniform waiting for him in his closet for this special night? Makeup was like for a Halloween costume. Why was the priest not wanting to meet the parents? Don't know......they didn't explain. And the typical ending for a totally made up movie story.... In the entire movie he had his camera rolling WITH him....but at the end....he leaves it outside on the step pointing at the door........did you guess what was going to happen??? ELEMENTARY!!!! Waste of time totally. Piece of crap. BOOO!!

Ridiculous plot, horrendous acting, cheap special effects. Did I miss anything? The lead actor looks like he will collapse any moment from lack of nourishment. Get some meat on those bones, boy!

Perhaps if they had developed the characters from the Ouija board opening scene, the movie might have been a little interesting.

Bottom line: It is a bargain basement 'The Exorcist' and deserves to remain in the basement.
