Paranormal Xperience 3D

This, the first Spanish horror film to be shot in 3-D, takes its cues from several cliched American slasher films, which doesn't immediately bode well. A handful of perfectly manicured young friends posture and gesticulate throughout the early scenes, inciting nothing much from the audience except perhaps irritation at such characterless, self-satisfied people. The usual bland prog-rock music score accompanies their every pout, too. So far, several points lost, I'm sorry to say.

Once we drift into more isolated locations, Director Sergi Vizcaino's camera is disinclined to dwell so much on the bottoms of the females in the group to take in the rugged beauty of the world in which they now find themselves, and things begin to pick up. The performances all round become more enthusiastic. Our villain Dr. Matarga (Manuel de Blas) fails to make much of an impression when we first meet him, but like the story, he grows on us - and on the cast of characters too, only not in the way they relish.

'Paranormal Xperience' is the very definition of a 'grower'. It's worth sticking with and, even though we may not ultimately get the explanations we're looking for, it's a good, chilling ride. My score is 6 out of 10.

When I was 10 years old, I wrote a script for a horror movie. Somehow it was made. It's this movie. It's so bad it's good. Good for a comedy. Really funny if that's what you're looking for.

It looks as if the writers of "XP 3D" initially planned to do another found-footage horror flick, cashing in further on the success of contemporary hits like "Paranormal Activity" and "REC", but then somewhere along the way suddenly abandoned the idea and went for an old-fashioned and straightforward psycho-thriller/slasher instead. Fine by me!

However, whether a slasher or a found footage flick, "XP 3D" is mediocre, derivative, unmemorable, and rather boring. The plot introduces five college students that answer to all the dreadful clichés you can think of, and they head out to the middle of Spanish nowhere to investigate the legend of a little mining community where the town's doctor allegedly killed and tortured dozens of people. The lead girl of the group insists on bringing her younger sister along for the trip, even though she struggles with unprocessed traumas. One by one, the students get slashed sadistically, and there's absolutely nothing paranormal about their deaths.

The girls are sexy (but dumb), the boys are hunky (but even dumber), the mining town's infamous doctors admittedly looks creepy, and there are a handful of juicy and sickening gore effects. All this ensures that "XP 3D" remains watching and enjoyable to a certain extent, but there's nothing about this film horror fans haven't seen hundreds of times before, and that includes the plot's predictable end-twist.

Unlike other paranormal films , this one did not bore me to death. On the contrary , it was very interesting from the beginning . The cast was good , very pleasant to the eye but also very talented as actors. It was easy to relate to the two sisters . The combination of sibling tragedy with the paranormal, the psychiatry and the slasher theme deserves the credit . The plot twist was wicked ... Overall , worth watching !

Nothing interesting happens in this movie, the closest it gets to being entertaining is in the intro, and thats it. Dont get me wrong, things do happen. But the cast is so annoying its impossible to care.
