This is How Movies Should Be Made

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Terrible acting, probably all inexperienced improv. Very unconvincing. Lots of repeated lines, indistinguishable cross-talk, insincere fear.. Actually, insincere everything. A lot of the time it just sounded like the actors didn't know what to say, which points to bad writing and directing. The "professor" seemed to be a man with a limited vocabulary, the "psychic" sounded like a canned phone-sex operator (which may actually be appropriate), and there was no apparent lead character. The psychic's lines were the only ones you could tell were written because it sounded like she was reading them. The guy in charge was kind of a douche... I think they were attempting to answer to question "what if the Ghost Hunters actually came across some ghosts?" The special effects were pretty much non-existent, and some of the coolest stuff they did was too subtle to notice (think Fight Club), and thus did not help the impact of the film. They spent a lot of time filming areas with no apparent activity (unless you were willing to move through each blank scene frame-by-frame), and they also did some jumping between irrelevant spaces. Sometimes it was difficult to tell where the footage was taking place, and the most interesting spot in the house (the crawl space) didn't actually get any meaningful air time. Maybe they really were afraid to go in there. That would've been a great place to find some bones or something. I honestly just looks like they lazily ripped off Paranormal Activity and the Ghost Hunter series simultaneously. Sad to say, though, it still wasn't worse than the worst movie I've seen (the name of which shall remain undisclosed). Apparently, they found a way to work in ripping a busty woman's shirt off, which is a plus. Well, not much of a plus because it 'exposed' the shallow nature of the filmmakers... but they WERE some great boobs. All in all, I'm not upset that I watched the movie.. after all, I sat through the entire Paranormal Activity movie series (and was surprised by the elaborate connectivity). However, if you get bored easily, stay far away from this one. I just kept waiting for something to happen...

The Asylum strikes again and somehow has managed to top themselves in the level of spectacular awfulness. The only, sole, lone, singular redeeming quality that this poor excuse for a film offers is its use of sexual imagery. They say that sex can sell anything and sex could successfully sell most people who enjoy looking upon an attractive female form from the waist up on seeing this bit of Troma-esque drivel.One almost-sex scene (the couple gets interrupted) and two gratuitous scenes about breasts (one impalement of a surgically enhanced left boob and another where the same girl's bra and shirt are pulled off) are all this film really offers. The rest is choppy, hand-held, so-called "found footage" (yeah, right....) that makes some people want to vomit from the lack of stability. Some of the footage is washed out or super saturated, out of focus, snowy, or complete wastes of our time. About half of this film could easily have hit the cutting room floor and resulted in the same boring, predictable, badly acted story.You have been warned.

As a (wannabe) filmmaker this is the kind of movie you pray you never make. It isn't just bad. Bad movies at least earn their audience for being bad. This isn't just bad. It commits a worse cinematic crime than that. It's boring. It's exceptionally boring.The writing seems almost improvised, but improvised by people at a table audition. There isn't enough actual scares here to make an episode of your basic A&E reality show. It seems like the most obvious line heard on this set was "we will fix it in post." The continuity and improbability of it don't help either. For example, the concept that the show is shot in a house built on the land where Gacy's old house was is faulty at best. This place should be BRAND NEW then. The house is at least 50 years old or more. Not 20 years old, not by a long shot. Then the goof at the end (look at the goofs so I don't have to write "spoiler" okay?) Just careless.Additionally, and this is an aside, I find using Gacy as a paranormal entity a bit... disturbing? It's gratuitous and feels off putting. Between the scares manufactured in editing, the complete lack of continuity and, let's face it, the gratuitousness of it make it for a terrible flick.

I've seen better acting in pornography. Don't waste your time, i'd rather be scratching my butt... This review requires ten lines. I do not have anything to say about this movie that is remotely close to ten lines. I will now recite the alphabet: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z now i'm going to go watch paint dry...Apparently this review is still not long enough. It's bad. It's boring. It's worse than Nicholas Cage's dramatic knee drops in "the knowing" (i believe there were 12). I would rather watch Bob Ross paint a landscape. I rented this movie for 99c, I'm kicking myself for not buying a taco instead...do not make the same mistake i did!
