The Ganzfeld Haunting

Using equipment from a #banned 1950s test, a group of students conduct a series of psychological experiments into telepathy, with horrorific consequences.

Miscast bruce willis daughter rumer willis is the "hot" party girl and serious college girl taylor cole who has a nosejob and teeth whitened.

No 50s equipment used, just a tape recorder and early 2000 #videocamera and a late 90s laptop, using standard esp tests, from 1 room to another guessing cards, the screens flicker with images of different stuff (which was the idea of the experiment, no equipment needed for it!).

People snort about a kilo of cocaine over a day during the experiment and a bottle of whisky and some boring lesbian sex and get even more arsey and paranoid.

Maybe less drugs sex and booze with people you don't like?

Are you wondering why this is bad? Because it is just a mess. Miscast, no logic, bad story even he sex scenes are boring.

Its a struggle to watch. And I watch a LOT of low budget films.

Director michael oblowitz did a lot on this film, being producer, writer and sound designer too.

One to avoid that fella.

I like bad films, but boring is the one sin, no matter budget that I cannot forgive.

Watched on amazon prime as The ganzfeld possession the ganzfeld haunting Whatever name, this is 90 mins of cringy boredom.

This movie had about 20 minutes worth of potential substance, padded with 60 minutes of absolutely useless filler. It starts out with some kids attempting some kind of ESP experiment in a seemingly abandoned house. For a while I thought it had potential, but quickly realized I had made a grave miscalculation. Right from the get go we are thrust into the middle of the story with no explanation or background given whatsoever. After about 20 minutes of throwing random images and dialog at the viewer in hopes of building up a creepy and mystic atmosphere (scenes of the first stages of the experiment) I guess the producers were like "ok well dang...that's all we got" and then scrambled to find another hours worth of footage to use so they could call this a film. The bulk of the remainder of the movie is softcore porn and nonstop shots of people doing cocaine. Like, they literally do at least 50 lines of coke in the span of one day. After a few minutes of this it becomes painfully obvious that the concept of a film has been thrown out the window in favor of endless cheap sleaze. The majority of the film felt like a clichéd, unimaginative music video without direction (oh, they even play some really annoying dubstep for a while over unnecessary scenes of partying). Ultimately there is NO point to this movie whatsoever and I have no idea why they even bothered to make it. No story, no character development, nothing. There are very few scenes which have anything to do with the supposed plot; most of which were comprised of choppy "visions", super cheesy ghost...sister...thing(still not sure what that was about and don't care enough to find out), and some convoluted voice-over meant to sound deep while attempting to mask the complete lack of genuine depth or plot. Do not waste your time unless you're just looking for footage of teens partying. The people in charge of this film (writer, director) need to move to another profession as they seem to have a gross lack of understanding as to what a movie is.

Is the only reason i rated thus as high as i did,because obviously she can act. But this script must have been done as a favor to a friend because it was all cocaine and crotches. I don't even know why the plot played out as it did,with a murderer being uncovered,but was the murderer truly even evil or was he being used by a predator? How a 8-12 year old can have such a profound gap of knowledge,even with trauma, was confusing. The unprofessionalism and incompetence of the law enforcement officers was the crap icing on this crap cake. It's too late for me--i can't unsee this. But you still have time to save yourself. Skip this turd.

I gave this 3* 'cause the actual, real acting is (shockingly) acceptable. Not to mention that the idea for the film could have had potential. But, my god! At the end of the day, you can imagine that the film was made after a drunken, drugged up weekend where someone said, "THIS should be a movie! I'd watch it!" 🙄

This could have been so much better with a better script. The characters, while somewhat likable, are irritating because they are constantly fighting against each other and throwing f-bombs throughout the whole film. Two of the characters are likely to party with drugs and alcohol, but eventually all partake. The only good parts were the flashbacks of the father (who I thought was the most interesting character and I would like to have seen more about him) and the lost sister. The effects showing them and the children were decently done but not that scary. There is a high level of tension that makes the film uneasy to watch. And when it's over you feel it wasn't worth it in the long run.
