You can say one thing about Ted V. Mikels as a director and that is that he's consistent: consistently awful, that is. PARANORMAL EXTREMES: TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE DEAD is as ridiculous as it sounds, a no-budget outing in the supernatural film genre with a plot that writes itself. The problem with this film is the cheapness of it: the entire movie consists of people sitting around in rooms and acting very badly.
There's something about doomed romance here and messages from the afterlife, but it's all faintly ridiculous and none of the actors involved convince you of their motivations. The wooden lead, Colie Knoke, is particularly awful and puts you off watching whenever she's on the screen, which is 99% of the time. Otherwise the film is padded out with footage of tattooed non actors, cheesy emoting, and a handful of lame superimposed special effects that they shouldn't have bothered with. It's a dog.
