Paranormal Investigation

Really slow, with a scant plot that has been done many times before. Brings nothing new to the table.

With the least original movie title of the decade this is yet another of the very same boring investigation type movie where absolutely nothing happens. Nightvision, screaming, religious hysteria and lots and lots of nothing.

Many amateur and wannabe filmmakers these days are making possession movies and movies based on the found footage premise; this melds the two together in a "sandwich au merde". Some of them are okay, most are bad, some are awful. This one's awful. It takes the basic premises of "The Exorcist" and "Paranormal Activity", removes all of what made those movies good, and retains the leftovers. This one has every cliché of a film in its genre, except it executes them in a way which leaves you frustrated as hell, and swearing like an angry Frenchman.

This is just another excorsism based film that follows the exact same cliche formula like any other film of this genre . On top of that, in this film , Andrei , for some reason, delays the excorsism for long hence unnecessarily extending the running length when it could be ended in just 1hr 20 mins.

Some parts were genuinely interesting but that's it! The possessed Dylan goes on doing nonsense for nights after nights and Andrei just keeps observing and we as audience get bored after some time, knowing that what's coming . Still i would say the ending is not what everyone predicted it would be.

The most important part of such films, the excorsism part is so terribly shot. Multiple cuts and edits completely kill the excitement of that sequence. In one scene the father is excorsing Dylan and cut to the next scene...Andrei is shown running in to find the Father lying on the floor ! Bruh how did it happen? Show us for god's sake!! No, they don't. In the very next scene, the weakened father is rested on the couch by Andrei and seeing Dylan pop up suddenly, the Father gets up like a horse and uses his methods to fight Dylan back ! Bruh...wasn't he weakened??? Didn't he need rest?? How come he's back on his feet like a horse??? This was the worst part of the film.

In some parts , the film just wastes it's time by showing Dylan shout out loud "Andrei ! Andrei !" Only the final part was a bit interesting.

Overall, a very okayish one time watch or just skip it ... there are better films in this category.

Ridiculous plot, horrendous acting, cheap special effects. Did I miss anything? The lead actor looks like he will collapse any moment from lack of nourishment. Get some meat on those bones, boy!

Perhaps if they had developed the characters from the Ouija board opening scene, the movie might have been a little interesting.

Bottom line: It is a bargain basement 'The Exorcist' and deserves to remain in the basement.
