I could not believe this film was allowed to be shown to the public. This is just four children playing at paranormal investigators. The producers should be ashamed to have allowed this to go public. There was nothing scientific about this investigation!! Nothing!! The "psychic" was a total joke. The other young woman was worse than ridiculous. And the two guys were pathetic! One (Ryan?) acted like he was god and the other boy went around saying "I love you ghosts". Ignorant and more childish than a group of kindergarten kids at play. Save your time and money. This "film" is ludicrous and completely amateur. A group of grade schoolers would have made a better picture!!

There are some people on the internet who believe this is a lost classic. Those people are morons. 3/10

Aside from the attic scene, I found the movie to be quite a bore overall. I'm a lover of found footage films, but this one missed the mark.

Wants to be Blair Witch with a smaller budget, single location, lighter backstory. I didn't care for this one. I love the found-footage, semi-documentary format (Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, etc), but that doesn't make the film, it's just the vehicle, you still have to bring credible elements and I just never bought into this one.

I saw this, it was creepy, the scariest part was the cat, but maybe only because my cat jumped in my lap at the same time the cat in the movie jumped out of the closet. but over all it was a great movie!!!
