A group of students go to a deserted mentally asylum in order to shoot any paranormal activity that is about to happen over there. Meanwhile John is questioned on a hospital bed concerning the events that happened over there and at the same time he wants to prove his innocence and that he had nothing to do with the death's of his friends. When they all arrive John has a excuse to leave the location in order to scheme some pranks to scare the others. They have no idea about this so they go and explore the sight and soon weird things happens and now they must find a way to get out of there and escape with life.I think the movie is better then Reel Evil simply because is more "soft" and it's close to Grave Encounters but not that good. The acting was OK for a bunch of unknown actors and for a low budget it came out something with quality against other movies with a crappy image acting and story.For a quiet night when you are alone this one goes well.
Goofs: the heart monitor remains steady regardless of John's emotional state (angry, sad, etc.), whereas his heart should race when angry and be slightly erratic when crying.This movie had potential, but all of that was thrown away with the introduction of Rebecca, the agent from an unknown organization that apparently murders all witnesses to paranormal activity. The organization's function, the agent's job, what was actually happening, why John was murdered, etc. were not explained. In fact, absolutely zero attempt was made to make the ending make any semblance of sense. With the last 5 seconds of the movie, are we actually supposed to assume that the blonde girl is still alive, trapped in the asylum forever until she starves to death?Too many questions were raised, not enough were answered, and there really isn't a resolution. The movie takes a very hard, steep left turn and stops.Very disappointing.
I have no idea why this has such bad reviews.I found this one of thee most gripping, chilling films I have ever watched.Firstly this is a group of extraordinary, brave, young students whom embarked on an horrific experiment.My hat goes off to them, I would not have the courage to partake in such a dangerous activity.While on the subject of activity, this makes P.A look like Bambi.I am not sure if they are acting or if this is 1000% genuine, but if they are acting they are truly outstanding.Put this on your list of movies to see before you die.Would more than highly recommend for anyone to see.
Alright, well first of all I should say that I am not a fan of the "Paranormal Activity" movies, but still have seen them, as it is allegedly ghost movies. And already prior to watching "Paranormal Incident" you already know that this is an attempt to cash in on the success of "Paranormal Activity", and as such, you know that it will be bad, just like "Paranormal Activity".And it was everything I expected! Equally bad, if not worse actually that what they were trying to cash in on. Haven't we soon had enough of these low budget, hand-held and super shaky home videos? I could make something similar with my DV camera and call it "Paranormal Phenomena".The story is about a group of people spending a couple of nights in an old, closed down mental institute, that is allegedly haunted. Some are believers in the paranormal, some aren't, but of course they are in for a night of terror and they are not alone.Nothing new to this storyline, and it was a really weak storyline at that. It had a bad script, even though the actual dialogue wasn't too bad. However, the movie was brought to the screen by some very questionable acting performances, some of which seemed so disinterested in the movie that it was painful to look at.There was nothing scary about this movie at all, just as there wasn't with "Paranormal Activity" (all three of them), and it wasn't much fun to sit through. Then why did I sit through it? Well it was in the odd chance that this movie might actually outdo "Paranormal Activity" and have something that even remotely resembled entertainment.I am a fan of ghost movies, but am getting very fed up with these particular types of movies. It is nothing but shaking hand-held camera action that you could do yourself, just get a couple of friends together, and you are all set. It is an outrage!
