The Holzer Files (2019– )
7/10
Has potential but very weak physical evidence
8 March 2021
Decent show but frustratingly it feels like they barely scratch the surface of any investigation. If you're a fan of Dead Files, this show will probably appeal to you. Feels like it's the same producer / director, especially the camera focusing on his ring when the guys driving or talking (throwback to Steve).

Pro's: Creepy atmosphere, interesting clips of Hans original case files, keeps your interest throughout the show.

Con's: Sketchy video evidence that has yet to catch any source of noises they hear (and not enough to make me actually believe), far too much focus on "EVP" evidence that sounds like nothing but noise, using a gimmicky"spirit box" / Olvilus when they have a lack of other evidence happening, constantly replaying the same clips of Hans investigation throughout the episodes wasting time (once is plenty, thanks), stopping in the middle of an investigation when things start heating up, useless subjective evidence ("it touched me" "it grabbed me" "I have chills"), and it feels like they have done nothing to add to Hans original investigations - they seem to just piggyback on the locations and quit when they find some tiny piece of sketchy evidence.

I do like their resident psychic Cindy, she's slightly more believable given she's so badass and not freaking out over every little strange noise or feeling, but still impossible to know if she's actually legit or just a great actress.
