Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I labored through this program for two hours wondering what was the point? This show was evidently a forum for two guys, the Brooke's brothers(?), upset over learning about mass graves where hundreds of unnamed orphans were buried in numbered graves. They try to weave into this message comments by paranormal "experts" and writers, snippets of paranormal investigations at abandoned orphanages, graveyards, and a road (Zombie Road), in several different states, along with a supposed news interview of some woman and a presentation at a high school. Confused? You should be. And that's not all. They have little children actors portraying abused and neglected children and or their spirits. There are numerous EVPS (electronic voice phenomena) of what is supposed to be either children or their abusers. This gibberish is interpreted for us in order to fit into the theme of orphan hauntings. Sifted throughout are antique photos and vintage video of children, supposedly orphans, and old photos of ghost children. I need not add that the latter were made in an era when the faking of ghost photos was rampant. I'm still not certain what Zombie Road near St. Louis and a photo of shadows had to do with orphans buried in Indiana. The film makers here tried to do two things at once: 1. present an expose of the poor treatment of orphans in America's past and 2. take viewers on a paranormal investigation of several reputedly haunted sites. They needed to focus on one or the other. Some parting shots: I couldn't stand the dialog mostly spoken through a tin can (or so it seemed) and couldn't they choose a narrator who didn't sound like he had a speech impediment? This one wasn't ready to come off the editing table. Could have been condensed to fifteen minutes, maybe thirty with commercial breaks.

I have to agree that the credibility of the investigations is sketchy based on how the information was presented. There's just way too much additional "drama" involved. If there was compelling evidence, the added recreations and images of dead people weren't needed. Perhaps they wanted the film to be two hours and needed to add in some time. The fact that John Zaffas was involved, as a credible and experienced demonologist, helps their credibility but I'm not so sure he was any more impressed with the final product than we are. Who knows. I still found many things included to be interesting and some of the evidence impressive so I'd say anyone interested in the subject of the paranormal should still give it a look-see.

Riiight, at one point, they read an "actual letter" supposedly written by a child orphan.In that you have sentences like "Little did I know"... something along the lines of "I didn't know this great country had its own concentration camps".Quite elaborate and cultivated for an orphan... child... many many years ago. They had good history and English language lessons in those orphanages!That was around the middle of the movie. I would have quit watching it earlier if I had something better to do, but had done my share of Youtube that day already, and needed to watch something longer than 45 seconds. But after this very bad mistake of the "actual letter" I completely disconnected.These directors know nothing about movies or even about how to make a constructive, credible narrative. Also, they are not objective.I think this would be better classified as a MOCKUMENTARY, if it was this bad on purpose.

Anyone watching this movie in the hope of some fascinating insights into the world of the paranormal investigator or perhaps just for a few scares is going to be sorely disappointed.If the intent of the filmmakers was to convince us that the EVP recordings, photographs and video footage were real they did a very poor job. The editing jumped all over the place, at first I thought it was just going to be like that at the start of the film and then it would get down to the proper investigations, but sadly it continued right up to the last minute.There was not one moment when I was even vaguely convinced any of the footage was of a real supernatural event, they jump cut so quick you were left feeling like they were trying to hide something, interspersing it with staged footage of little children and dramatic or heavy metal music took you further away from feeling like this was a serious documentary.If they wanted to make a point they needed to slow down, focus on one happening at a time, show us the footage of things actually happening - not just say something happened.Overall the whole thing pretty much bored me, there wasn't even a hint that this could actually be a real investigation and at no point did it stay still long enough for you to actually get creeped out.
