I liked the behind the scenes documentary style, and that it did NOT have the shaky-cam nonsense that 'documentary' films overuse. Not overly scary, but a decent popcorn flick. I would watch it again, and I would recommend it to someone with a couple hours to kill.

This movie seems to have been made specifically to catch your trust with fake reviews because GOD DAMN is this movie an objectively horrifying lack of originality, acting talent, good effects, and writing. My God, the only demons that attacked these characters are those bent on tormenting you the viewer with just how bad this movie is.
It doesn't even have the decency to make you laugh at the cheesy production or acting. On the contrary, you get a very serious feel from every actor even when they're attempting a relaxed scene, as if the entire process was taken very seriously.
Here's some examples of it's film atrocities, because I really want to spare you from watching it.
1. Casper gets launched over an interior balcony with an after effects level "energy" explosion after 2 minutes of you waiting in advance, knowing exactly what would happen because the misdirection of this movie is phenomenal.
2. Several admirably distasteful long shots are used during the demon's seizure party which gruesomely unveils the 5 minutes of acting practice each background member got before the shot.
3. Every horror movie cliche is used in the first 35 minutes including: The movie being set in a clearly haunted area that everyone denies, hearing voices, panning away and back to show the previously 100% visible ghost that is no longer there, a vague TV medium who senses bad "energy" yet is totally legit, tension between characters that has no reason to exist, obvious and fully visible ghosts in pictures, denying paranormal activity, getting annoyed at skeptics, waking up to ghostly activity, feeling an evil presence, demons regularly talking to the cast and like Disney villains to boot, flies spewing out of mouths, everyone denying the obvious demonic activity 5 feet away from them, doors slamming and locking, and more. I stopped watching after the first 35 minutes, so there's probably a hell of a lot more.
Do yourself a favour and skip this piece of shit, and better yet, go watch the free version on youtube and then add a legitimate critic to counterbalance the skewed ratings on this page.
