Apparition

Apparition (2019) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline for this picture focuses on a group of friends who are being supportive of a young lady who wants to participate in a study of a haunted estate. They discover the troubled past of the estate and why they are the perfect test subjects to pull the super natural elements out for the study.

This movie is directed by Waymon Boone (The Devil's in the Details) and stars Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects), Megan West (The is Us), Jon Abrahams (Scary Movie) and Annalisa Cochrane (Cobra Kai).

This movie had some potential but badly misses the mark. This actually has a good cast but the film doesn't focus on those characters enough and instead focuses on the less established cast members. Many of the horror elements are shot too dark and the kills do not have enough gore to my preference. The full circle ending to the storyline was actually pretty good and made the execution even more disappointing.

Overall this is one of those movies where the idea behind it is good but the execution falls short. I would score this movie a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

...an innocent bunny will die. This is how bad this is. It's breakfast cereal with water bad. It's a snowstorm without shoes bad. It's Christmas at your drunk Aunt Hilda's bad. Just don't and save a bunny.

Dude.. I paid 7 bucks.. and forced every minute of this into my skull.. the only horror felt watching this movie is the sense of loss felt for having watched it in the 1st place.

It says there are 6 reviews. Then it becomes 3 critics reviews. When I check the critic review from Rotten Tomatoes there is no actual review. When I check for reviews there are none. And yet this movie has a rating of 8.5? What is going on here?

The first fifteen minutes made me believe I was in for a gritty and chilling horror flick. Not so much. Fast forward two decades and we have a predictable, completely unoriginal "group of twenty-somethings in a haunted building" movie. Not scary. Boring. A big let down after what seemed like a good start.
