Hotel Paranormal (2020)

Review by imdb-25288

Hotel Paranormal

2/10

Boring beyond boring, terribly filmed & produced! Even Dan Akroyd is annoying AF shouting his lines

This is one of the worst ghost reenactment productions from the Travel Channel: it has bottom of the barrel production values and by that I mean it's the cameraman's fault and the editor's, or whomever told them to film in this way: every time there's an evil entity, the camera zooms past them really fast, so that you cannot see anything beyond a blurry black mass, and that's the most important thing when making a ghost show!! So if you cannot see the entity, it's not scary it's not horror and it's renders this show completely useless.

Every time I watch it, I can't wait for the commercial so I can take care of stuff and every time the commercial ends I'm annoyed that it ended so quickly; that's how bad this show is LOL.

The narrator's nasal voice is unpleasant and all around horrible, shouting his lines with a silly affected intonation that does not work at all with this show; so imagine my surprise when I figured out it's one of my favorite actors, Dan Akroyd! Every time I try to watch this show it's so boring I find myself distracted on the computer, like it's on right now and that's what I'm doing.

All the recreation scenes seem to be bathed in a golden light, which makes me wonder what possessed somebody to throw a bucket of camel urine at the camera.

There is no scare factor here whatsoever, and the filming is totally boring and not entertaining at all. The cuts to the interviewees are too much! They happen way too often and kill the momentum. Whoever created this show doesn't know how to create a show: everything about this production is horrible and none of the stories are thus interesting in the way they're presented.

And this is coming from a reviewer who, throughout my life, happens to have rented 3 different hotel rooms that were extremely haunted, so that's why this was interesting to me. Look, I wouldn't even care if the stories are fake, as long as you entertain me, that's all I ask, but this is absolutely unwatchable because it is boring AF.
