The Ganzfeld Haunting

This could have been so much better with a better script. The characters, while somewhat likable, are irritating because they are constantly fighting against each other and throwing f-bombs throughout the whole film. Two of the characters are likely to party with drugs and alcohol, but eventually all partake. The only good parts were the flashbacks of the father (who I thought was the most interesting character and I would like to have seen more about him) and the lost sister. The effects showing them and the children were decently done but not that scary. There is a high level of tension that makes the film uneasy to watch. And when it's over you feel it wasn't worth it in the long run.

The dumbest movie I've ever saw! Demi Moore daughter looked terrible and dirty! Most of the movie focuses on drugs and boney girls dancing around looking stupid and dirty! I couldn't believe how many times they showed these actors doing drugs! Next time, read a book instead of settling on this movie! Not worth it. I will take my own advice. I watched it all the way through hoping for some sort of twist at least! But nothing! Just drugs and bad acting! What a waste of time

This movie had about 20 minutes worth of potential substance, padded with 60 minutes of absolutely useless filler. It starts out with some kids attempting some kind of ESP experiment in a seemingly abandoned house. For a while I thought it had potential, but quickly realized I had made a grave miscalculation. Right from the get go we are thrust into the middle of the story with no explanation or background given whatsoever. After about 20 minutes of throwing random images and dialog at the viewer in hopes of building up a creepy and mystic atmosphere (scenes of the first stages of the experiment) I guess the producers were like "ok well dang...that's all we got" and then scrambled to find another hours worth of footage to use so they could call this a film. The bulk of the remainder of the movie is softcore porn and nonstop shots of people doing cocaine. Like, they literally do at least 50 lines of coke in the span of one day. After a few minutes of this it becomes painfully obvious that the concept of a film has been thrown out the window in favor of endless cheap sleaze. The majority of the film felt like a clichéd, unimaginative music video without direction (oh, they even play some really annoying dubstep for a while over unnecessary scenes of partying). Ultimately there is NO point to this movie whatsoever and I have no idea why they even bothered to make it. No story, no character development, nothing. There are very few scenes which have anything to do with the supposed plot; most of which were comprised of choppy "visions", super cheesy ghost...sister...thing(still not sure what that was about and don't care enough to find out), and some convoluted voice-over meant to sound deep while attempting to mask the complete lack of genuine depth or plot. Do not waste your time unless you're just looking for footage of teens partying. The people in charge of this film (writer, director) need to move to another profession as they seem to have a gross lack of understanding as to what a movie is.

A poorly organized and presented plot of some merit and interest. Drugs and alcohol are waaaay overdone and thus distracting. Cole is credible and since the others are so weak she seems to be out of place.

I gave this 3* 'cause the actual, real acting is (shockingly) acceptable. Not to mention that the idea for the film could have had potential. But, my god! At the end of the day, you can imagine that the film was made after a drunken, drugged up weekend where someone said, "THIS should be a movie! I'd watch it!" 🙄
