Great cat footage.
neuroticpeacecorpse26 October 2021
It's a pity there wasn't more footage of cat Pixie. It's acting was quite good and very natural. The rest is one big cliche and has been done over and over before in much better movies.

Pixie
mradarley-4766128 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Why didn't he ever check his own recorded footage? Unlike Paranormal Activity there is no menace here, no building of tension and unlike the characters in PA I found myself having zero empathy for this guy. I know the movie was probs done for a about $50 but the lack of reality can't be overlooked. The cat was there then it wasn't, his girlfriend never called or checked in, the cleanser was there about 5 minutes and purified the whole house? And as stated why oh why did he not check back the footage? If he had we might have then seen some emotional reaction and felt we were part of this thing. And the reason for his spook? Oh he went on a ghost walk to some old prison and got a funny feeling when he walked past one of the cells. Deary me. Sorry it's a big swing and a miss from me I still like the found footage genre but this is one that could have done with staying lost. When he finds the words 'death' written in the living room i assumed he was reviewing his own movie.

Nothing Spooky Here
gromit-2607530 October 2021
The only horrifying thing about this boring movie is that they didn't fix that annoyingly creaky bed, no wonder he didn't sleep well. All I could think about was the noise it would make if both he and his wife were in it!

What did I watch bru
alanangulo28 October 2021
The sound of this mans bed was scarier then the movie itself. Waste of an hour and a half of my life.... Movie honestly doesn't even deserve 1 star. Honestly felt like I was watching a high school kids paranormal footage from his Samsung phone from 2010. Absolutely ridiculous.

And the Oscar for Best Cat Goes to...
dave-145-51526627 October 2021
Some great scenes of a sleepy guy wandering around his kitchen, pausing occasionally to eat cereal. Now and then he moves the camera and we see him napping on his couch or filming shower curtains.

Look, I admire DIY filmmaking, but the first 45 minutes, after 10 minutes of credits and definitions of tricky words like "ghost", consists of a cabinet door closing, a cat jumping around and a lovely wall wreath. And that's about it.

Dialogue includes 3 separate variations of "Well I gotta go to work. So I'm gonna eat something, leave the camera running, and see if we catch anything". That's probably all you need to know, folks.

Don't waste your time
hvhgfk4 November 2021
This gotta be the worst "movie" I've ever see. Someone said it's a school project and that's the best way to describe it.

There's nothing scary about it. Don't watch it trust me save your time.

Estimated movie budget: $10.98
The_Swedish_Reviewer8 November 2021
Based on the quality of the movie, let me try to break down what may have been included in the budget:

Fake blood - $5.99 (Walmart)

Piece of incense - $1.00 (Dollarstore)

Low-end tripod - $3.99 (Amazon)

Total estimated cost: $10.98

Other free items/props/equipment used in this production:

The wife's lipstick (scary writing on the wall), built-in mobile phone camera, the family cat, fishing line for bedcover and kitchen door, a retired wall picture/mirror.

Oh I forgot pizzas for the friends as payment for their unforgettable performances as a news anchor, "guy" and exorcist.

Rubbish
mandiranabula27 October 2021
We've seen it all before in the Paranormal Activity series, it's recycled mostly from the first movie with the "scary" things that happen. Super predicable and an utter waste of time I'm more interested to know what happened to the cat.

Surely a school project and not a real movie
nick-monger31 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This 'movie' has no story, no character development or anything scary. It has a cat and a noisy bed - that's it.

Not sure what we filmed it on...must have been a blackberry or something equally as bad.

Utter Garbage!
neocateri20 March 2022
Please unclassify this as a movie! Bad acting, horrible direction, awful script.

The cat was awesome but I wish I had the time back which was wasted watching this.

Overall Pretty Good
rob-2156227 October 2021
Wow, I mean considering that this film was filmed during the covid shutdown when no one else was in production and being a very low budget film I think overall it was still pretty good. Acting wasnt bad, and it is a new storyline twist that I enjoyed.

Yes, I liked the cat
cb-6437828 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I liked the cat. A lot. It was seeing things I did not see. All I could see was a guy sleeping on the couch or in his bed or a guy who just get out of his bed. But I kept watching because I really wanted to know what was going on.

But why is it that people in horror movies are recording but never look at what there is on tape?

Anyway. I liked the cat and although this is not a very great horror movie is is a nice watch.

Who Approves These Movies???
chad-6131315 November 2021
Over the past decade, the spook genre has been taking a beating - one disappointing film after another. But now I'm curious. I want to know who sat down in front of a screen, watched this whatever you wanna call it and said, "Oh wow, this is awesome! You did a great job! This is going to be a hit for sure!" Seriously?? This film sucked. A dude sitting on a couch is not entertaining and that's when I turned it off. I would rather watch 2 turtles do a lap at Daytona than watch this trash.

No Warning
deedeehay27 February 2022
That'll teach me not to read the reviews first. I don't know if anything new or scary happened after the first 45 minutes, but I was too frightened by boredom to wait it out.

The Mystery of the Missing Money
jean-suchard19 March 2022
I enjoy a good ghost story with frights and eerie mysterious happenings but the only mystery about the waste of video is how it could have had a budget of $10,000.00 unless the writer/director/protagonist gave it all to himself.

No.
natnightly10 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Don't do it. This is an hour and a half of watching some guy try to eat his camera while recording nothing except a cat.

It adds some exceptional insight into the daily life of average middle aged man, who's hobbies include drinking tap water and watching cable TV, occasionally having a bowl of cereal as a wild treat. If that doesn't excite you, there's also cabinet doors opening and really bad editing, especially the audio mixing.

What happens? I can't summarize much else, most of what I said is all that happens. Sometimes the dude goes into a fugue state and stares at things. The first time it happens, the horrible audio mixing makes it sound like he just blasted a hole through his mattress with the power of Gamma radiation.

There's a whole part about a priest, but I don't think neither you or me care enough. The priest waves some herbs around, almost dies, then leaves. Guy goes into a fugue, slams his face into the mirror, stares at the camera, then gives himself a cut across the throat that would, at worst, require Neosporin and a bandaid, but it's evidently one that killed him instantly.

Also, the toilet paper was on wrong and the kitchen sink was installed by a lunatic.

Skip it, unless you really want to see the parts with the cat in it.

Intensely Frightening!
tmccull5223 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
"Attached: Paranormal" is intensely frightening! Well, not so much the movie itself, but the fact that it ever saw the proverbial light of day.

The premise of this turd is that the son of a cold case detective decides to poke around through some files that the detective brought home. What harm could there be from someone tampering with open case files, right? That wouldn't ever present any legal issues, would it?

Said son reviews video footage shot by someone who allegedly committed suicide. The son edits all of this footage into a video to post on social media. Again, that would be perfectly fine, wouldn't it? Tampering with actual evidence from a cold case? How could anyone object to that?!

The footage that sonny boy cobbles together reveals such compelling visual and audio phenomenon! A cat actually leaps onto a kitchen counter! And then it leaps down from the counter, all by itself! Riveting stuff, that! We get to see a kitchen cupboard door quickly open and close again, and then we get to watch the the subject of the video check the kitchen for the source of the sound without turning any lights on so that he can see better. I was on the edge of my seat...because I was about to fall off of it from falling asleep watching this flop.

At about the 24 minute mark of the movie, we get some real action! The subject of the video footage gets a box of cereal from the cupboard, opens the box, and pours cereal into an actual bowl! Then he adds milk to the cereal, and brace yourself, he EATS THE CEREAL! Such utter and visceral terror! Truly astounding, raptly compelling and irresistibly Absorbing! A man actually eats a bowl of cereal, and it's all caught on camera!

Wes Craven, George Romero, and John Carpenter eat your hearts out!

As if that wasn't pulse-pounding enough, the cat leaps up onto the counter again and a plastic cup moves a whole six or eight inches by itself! A masterpiece of the macabre, I tell you! We get to watch tedious moment after tedious moment where absolutely nothing happens! What a cinematic tour de force!

As if that all wasn't enough, we get a solid five minutes of the subject of the footage actually falling asleep and taking a nap! Oh, the horror! The horror! Cats leaping! Cereal eating! Napping on the sofa! Who would ever dream of such terror?! So starkly compelling!

This movie sucked like a nymphomaniacal hooker at a Viagra convention. Anyone who had anything whatsoever with getting it made deserves to be worked over vigorously with a nail-studded baseball bat.

Top three scariest moments (non-spoiler)
harmonturner22 July 2022
In the movie is how his toilet paper is on the roll backwards. The second scariest part is the order he makes his cereal. The third scariest part is how his kitchen sink is in the corner and the window isn't over the sink.

The Making of a Cereal Killer
timothygartin25 June 2022
You know what is wrong with most paranormal horror movies? Too much paranormal and too much horror. This movie refreshingly is made of found footage of a man and a cat living together in a house that isn't haunted or scary.

See the man make cereal and eat it for breakfast!

Thrill to the cat react to a cup falling onto the floor!

Hear the sound of static increase as nothing is there to make noise!

Unintentionally hilarious. So terrible that its hard to capture in a review. The cat is the star.

Inspired/copied??
shourovchakma26 October 2021
Has got similarities with Paranormal Activity and the Haunted by discovery Channel.

Acting was good n natural but man this movie is extremely slow and very much monotonous.

Scared me because it seems so real
irishampton27 October 2021
I usually don't watch scary movies but I follow Bonnie Mercado and all her work. I'm happy to see her play a news anchor which she did amazing. I know that was hard as her voice is usually so bubbly & fun. Great to see a different role for her. The Dad was awesome as he seems so real and love how this was figured out during Covid. Can't wait for the next one but hopefully not scary. It is going to be hard to sleep tonight.

I almost screamed...
jadaha13 October 2023
From boredom. I liked the first three 'Paranormal' movies, but this was the absolute worst. No action, the seconds in the 'camera' were not correct, the 'footage' was never reviewed, it wreaked of amateurism.

Where were the jump scares? Where was the PLOT? And James' use of the word 'yous' made me want to vomit.

I loved the scenes with the cat. The most believable part I could tolerate.

If you love 'Paranormal' movies, I beg you DON'T WATCH this! It is slow, boring and infantile. I only watched this because it's raining outside, it's cold, and I have no life. But, if you DO have a life DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Hmmmmmm
Stephanie-Hurst15 October 2023
So this wasn't the worst movie. It had some potential, but ultimately it was very amateurish. James goes to a ghost tour in prison and brings back a negative energy. During this film he spent a lot, and I mean a lot of time doing nothing. You'd wait for something to happen. There were spooky sounds, a mysterious shadow entity, and some really repetitive dialogue. This could have had so much more depth than it did. While setting the stage is a necessary component to movies of this type, much of it was boring, and made me almost fall asleep. I thought it had potential. I wish he'd had a few people watch this before releasing this as it could have been a really scary flick. Instead you kinda root for the demon...the cat was cute, but what the hell was up with the bed springs?! Those were insanely loud.

Overall I would not recommend this movie to anybody over the age of 10 as it's just not scary.

Wow! just WOW!!!
joshuatooter2 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
And the award goes to the blue cup that acted better than the actor himself. I was expecting a paranormal activity ripoff but got worse and more boring. I don't see how this movie even got a five dollar budget. The cat was the only thing compelling. I would not recommend anyone who are hardcore paranormal fans to find anything in this movie out of the obvious norm. I do like the title of the movie which should have been used on a better made movie not this college student house ext. Don't waste your time purchasing this please watch for free, I'm begging you to save your money and watch it on Tubie or if you got prime video to watch it free. It's what one would consider! DULL...

Here sucky sucky
melodypittman-7572221 September 2022
This movie sucked where was all the blood when he got his head bashed in the mirror shoot i had more blood from a splinter and the priest really where did they get him from off the street and the demon noise my grandson can make better noises then that. I agree with the other comments the cat pixie was more frightened than James and all you see is a shadow on the bedroom wall and movement of some cabinets come on the shadow thing is overrated i have seen more scary things on shows like ghost hunters and ghost adventures and boy zak is a hottie they need to make one with a whole lot of the entity and BTW that is a movie its called the entity with Barbara Hershey now its worth watching and will have you on your seat.
