Paranormal Investigation

Found on Netflix. Went into the movie hoping to see some twist on the usual paranormal investigation type mockumentary film, but was sorely disappointed. The plot lacked in setting up the mood and general scary feel, as well as had major plot holes leaving me dumbfounded at the end of movie-and not in a good way.

If you're looking for a good horror movie, do not look to Paranormal Investigation.

Really slow, with a scant plot that has been done many times before. Brings nothing new to the table.

To be honest, I went into watching Paranormal Investigation with very low expectations, especially after reading reviews on here. I've come out of it though, with the unpopular opinion that this film isn't actually bad. It's not great, but I did think it was an interesting watch, and for the most part, the acting by those that played the parents and son was done really well. I'd probably only recommend this film to those who are fans of the found footage genre; if that's you, then I believe it's worth a watch.

With the least original movie title of the decade this is yet another of the very same boring investigation type movie where absolutely nothing happens. Nightvision, screaming, religious hysteria and lots and lots of nothing.

This is just another excorsism based film that follows the exact same cliche formula like any other film of this genre . On top of that, in this film , Andrei , for some reason, delays the excorsism for long hence unnecessarily extending the running length when it could be ended in just 1hr 20 mins.

Some parts were genuinely interesting but that's it! The possessed Dylan goes on doing nonsense for nights after nights and Andrei just keeps observing and we as audience get bored after some time, knowing that what's coming . Still i would say the ending is not what everyone predicted it would be.

The most important part of such films, the excorsism part is so terribly shot. Multiple cuts and edits completely kill the excitement of that sequence. In one scene the father is excorsing Dylan and cut to the next scene...Andrei is shown running in to find the Father lying on the floor ! Bruh how did it happen? Show us for god's sake!! No, they don't. In the very next scene, the weakened father is rested on the couch by Andrei and seeing Dylan pop up suddenly, the Father gets up like a horse and uses his methods to fight Dylan back ! Bruh...wasn't he weakened??? Didn't he need rest?? How come he's back on his feet like a horse??? This was the worst part of the film.

In some parts , the film just wastes it's time by showing Dylan shout out loud "Andrei ! Andrei !" Only the final part was a bit interesting.

Overall, a very okayish one time watch or just skip it ... there are better films in this category.
