If you're looking for a movie with preening, rampant, scenery-chewing narcissism, then this is the film for you. Neither of the lead characters are remotely likeable, and the movie cuts back and forth between them preening and mugging maniacally for the camera.
We have Angela, a psychic medium seeking to affirm herself on Facebook and YouTube, and we have Karen, who feels that Angela has ruined her life by giving her false psychic advice. Karen learns that Angela is going to spend a few days in a haunted flat in an attempt to verify any paranormal activity going on in the place, and she sets out to torment Angela, and expose her as a fraud on social media.
During Angela's investigation, Karen pranks her with phony phone calls and poison pen letters. She even breaks into the flat and stages false signs to activity to fool Angela. This works, but there is also actual activity going on that Angela manages to record and document. Angela actually ends up making verbal contact with the entity in the flat, and the entity shows her proof of Karen's attempts to prank her.
Karen stages another prank phone call to Angela, but this backfires on her, as Angela says that she knows that the caller is Karen, that she can prove it, and is going to the authorities to stop Karen from harassing her once and for all. That night, Karen steals into the flat again to remove any potential evidence that might implicate her, and establish her guilt. In the meantime, Angela has further communication with the entity, which presents itself as evil and demonic. Karen ends up locked in the cellar of the flat, and discovers that Angela isn't quite the fraud that Karen tried to expose her as. The entity possesses Karen in what may well be one of the worst performances of a possession that I have ever seen in any horror movie.
There is a huge, gaping, Grand Canyonesque plot hole here. Karen is filming all of these hijinks so that she can expose Angela as a fraud. Her plan is to post the footage on social media for all of the world to see... but she breaks back into the house to recover evidence that she'd used and left behind that can prove that she's the one behind the hijinks. What the Hell kind of sense does that make? She's planning on posting a video detailing each and every little thing that she's doing to Angela. She's confessing to the world... including the police... everything that she's done, but she's worried that the police will find physical evidence linking her to her nefarious activities?
This is a sort of follow-up, or sequel to the movie, "Investigation in Sherwood", which depicts a private investigator who finds himself unexpectedly drawn into genuine paranormal activity in the same flat shown in this film.
Of the two movies, the first was by far the better.
