Most of these fake "ghost hunting" things try too hard and take themselves too seriously. I really enjoyed this one. First, I don't believe in the paranormal so I just enjoyed it for what it was. A scripted look at what a "ghost hunt" might be like. The host was entertaining and it moved pretty well. It wasn't trying to be a "scary movie" or horror film so don't expect that. It was a "tongue-in-cheek" creation of what a supernatural investigation might look like if there really did turn out to be something creepy going on. It was a perfect length for my attention span, too! And I thank them from the bottom of my heart for not once using those super cheesy audio recording I often see in these things. "Did you hear that? It clearly said 'get out!'" No...it didn't.
It was a fun watch. Just my opinion.

This is the best of the fake/real ghost documentaries and it's not even close. It is done so well that it seems almost real. It's so low key and lacks the unrealistic jump scares of most every other fake/real ghost Doc's that have been puked out by every idiot with a cell phone. In every movie but more so the dozens of ghost hunting tv shows it's starts with a bold statement that this could be what proves ghosts exist and followed by periodic excitement when a chair moves and they pull out some electronic device that they say picks up ghost voices. And when they are done these people will claim this is real proof. This may use some of those tools but not once does anyone say that this is proof it's showed and there it is. You can't watch this and judge it as a horror movie you have to look at it as it could be real if you can't do that you won't enjoy it. But considering that is what you have to do with almost all horror movies that aren't based in on some real event and even those movies screw with the truth you should be able to do it for this.
I liked this movie because it wasn't over acted and seemed pretty genuine. Enough that I just combed through my watch history to find it.(i forgot the title) it want the best, but it was entertaining and didn't seem to be super cheesy and phony like most of these kinds of movies.
The editing and timing are great. The acting is good and the guy is funny.
There is not one, not even a single iota of second that I thought this was real. If you're caught up over that alone, grow up.
If you're caught up over no jump scares, grow all the way up. It's not even classified as a mockumentary. Why would there be jump scares? Are you 12?
For some reason, the makers of this film left it up to the viewer to decide if it's real or if there is even purpose. I really don't care. It's a fun movie.
Some people actually believe it's real. I don't know why, but more power to them.
I actually got a little scared at the "climax"....it felt more or less real.
It's not nearly the best thing I've ever seen, but I enjoyed it. It's less than an hour. Fast-paced and straight to the point.
But I don't know what the point is other than to be entertaining and maybe to encourage people to make up their own mind.

I'm a huge skeptic of films capturing the paranormal, but this was actually pretty good. Is it real, who knows. But I can say this. I've watched hundreds of horror and paranormal movies. In fact it's, something of that nature is on, pretty much 24/7 at the house. This seemed believable! I don't know why it's rated this low but I give it a solid 8.

- GoofsThe opening to the well is shown as kept open with a pair of pliers. Later, when Clay opens it fully, the stench is overwhelming. Had there been such a stench, keeping the lid open even slightly would have allowed the full stench to fill the basement and eventually permeate the entire house.
