Paranormal Investigation

Found on Netflix. Went into the movie hoping to see some twist on the usual paranormal investigation type mockumentary film, but was sorely disappointed. The plot lacked in setting up the mood and general scary feel, as well as had major plot holes leaving me dumbfounded at the end of movie-and not in a good way.

If you're looking for a good horror movie, do not look to Paranormal Investigation.

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.

To be honest, I went into watching Paranormal Investigation with very low expectations, especially after reading reviews on here. I've come out of it though, with the unpopular opinion that this film isn't actually bad. It's not great, but I did think it was an interesting watch, and for the most part, the acting by those that played the parents and son was done really well. I'd probably only recommend this film to those who are fans of the found footage genre; if that's you, then I believe it's worth a watch.

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...
