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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
