Paranormal Incident

Another cheap found footage flick with an unknown cast. This one has a group of students heading to an abandoned sanatorium to shoot a documentary that will either prove or disprove the existence of the paranormal, apparently. It's supposed to be part of some thesis project but I wasn't buying any of that. This one has a really annoying wraparound story that I felt was added just to pad out the running time, and it builds to a ludicrous twist ending I could have done without. The asylum scenes are okay but it all descends into the usual screaming and running around, so if you've seen any of the famous films this genre has to offer there's no real reason to tune in.

I feel like vomiting in front of a camera would have as good of a story as this film. Probably the most predictable "paranormal movie" I've ever seen. I remembered why I never watch horror movies with any certain kind of GROUP of people. They are all the same, and they are all related to fecal matter. I really hope that these actors find greater opportunities than films like this because MOST of them had far more hope than this movie. FAR. MORE. I don't like to be the person that only thinks that high-budget films are quality, because I really respect the hard work that people do that are just trying to make it, but if you're really trying to make something out of yourself by making movies, you really shouldn't let something with this kind of lame, unexplained ending be one of those things you start out with.

I have no idea why this has such bad reviews.

I found this one of thee most gripping, chilling films I have ever watched.

Firstly this is a group of extraordinary, brave, young students whom embarked on an horrific experiment.

My hat goes off to them, I would not have the courage to partake in such a dangerous activity.

While on the subject of activity, this makes P.A look like Bambi.

I am not sure if they are acting or if this is 1000% genuine, but if they are acting they are truly outstanding.

Put this on your list of movies to see before you die.

Would more than highly recommend for anyone to see.

Alright, well first of all I should say that I am not a fan of the "Paranormal Activity" movies, but still have seen them, as it is allegedly ghost movies. And already prior to watching "Paranormal Incident" you already know that this is an attempt to cash in on the success of "Paranormal Activity", and as such, you know that it will be bad, just like "Paranormal Activity".

And it was everything I expected! Equally bad, if not worse actually that what they were trying to cash in on. Haven't we soon had enough of these low budget, hand-held and super shaky home videos? I could make something similar with my DV camera and call it "Paranormal Phenomena".

The story is about a group of people spending a couple of nights in an old, closed down mental institute, that is allegedly haunted. Some are believers in the paranormal, some aren't, but of course they are in for a night of terror and they are not alone.

Nothing new to this storyline, and it was a really weak storyline at that. It had a bad script, even though the actual dialogue wasn't too bad. However, the movie was brought to the screen by some very questionable acting performances, some of which seemed so disinterested in the movie that it was painful to look at.

There was nothing scary about this movie at all, just as there wasn't with "Paranormal Activity" (all three of them), and it wasn't much fun to sit through. Then why did I sit through it? Well it was in the odd chance that this movie might actually outdo "Paranormal Activity" and have something that even remotely resembled entertainment.

I am a fan of ghost movies, but am getting very fed up with these particular types of movies. It is nothing but shaking hand-held camera action that you could do yourself, just get a couple of friends together, and you are all set. It is an outrage!

I feel sorry for the actors, they are not to blame for this film turning out to be putrid garbage. To be honest they all turned in a pretty decent performance. The story, while being very derivative of other films in this genre, isn't really to blame either. There were some good ideas for a few scares, a scene where recording equipment was picking up footsteps that the characters couldn't hear could have been very creepy - IF our protagonists hadn't been too busy screaming abuse at each other. BADLY directed, BADLY produced, BADLY edited, BAD screenplay. The actors deserved to be in a better film, THIS could have been a better film with a little more thought & effort. If you have 80 minutes to spare, it would be better to watch dog vomit dry on the pavement than waste any time on this.
