Thrills turn into nightmares as members of the group go missing without a sound, cell phones mysteriously vanish, corridors turn into mazes, walls appear where doors once stood, flashlights fail and something or someone begins toying with the group. Days later, when five of the six friends turn up missing, the lone survivor must go through the recovered footage in order to clear his name and find out what happened to his friends

Wonderful Movie
Sorry, this movie sucks
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
I feel sorry for the actors, they are not to blame for this film turning out to be putrid garbage. To be honest they all turned in a pretty decent performance. The story, while being very derivative of other films in this genre, isn't really to blame either. There were some good ideas for a few scares, a scene where recording equipment was picking up footsteps that the characters couldn't hear could have been very creepy - IF our protagonists hadn't been too busy screaming abuse at each other. BADLY directed, BADLY produced, BADLY edited, BAD screenplay. The actors deserved to be in a better film, THIS could have been a better film with a little more thought & effort. If you have 80 minutes to spare, it would be better to watch dog vomit dry on the pavement than waste any time on this.
I have no idea why this has such bad reviews.I found this one of thee most gripping, chilling films I have ever watched.Firstly this is a group of extraordinary, brave, young students whom embarked on an horrific experiment.My hat goes off to them, I would not have the courage to partake in such a dangerous activity.While on the subject of activity, this makes P.A look like Bambi.I am not sure if they are acting or if this is 1000% genuine, but if they are acting they are truly outstanding.Put this on your list of movies to see before you die.Would more than highly recommend for anyone to see.
First off I have to say that I love the whole "found footage" ghost in the corner right behind you thing. It totally rocks...when it's done right... this is not I repeat not done right. It's just cheese and not good cheese like nacho cheese but bad cheese like moldy government cheese. This movie takes almost an hr of it's 1hr 22 min run time to set the spooky stuff up and then 10 min of laughingly bad f/x to scare us and then slaps on a government conspiracy in the final ending that just leaves the viewer rubbing his head asking why did I waste time watching this. do yourself a favor and stay away from this pile of smelly garbage.
This is not by any means the worst movie I've ever seen. There are worse movies with higher ratings. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was good. The premise is that a group of kids are looking for paranormal activity at the Odenbrook Sanitarium as part of a psychology project. It starts off with the only survivor of the ordeal (John) being interrogated by some woman in a hospital room. Together, they watch the tapes filmed by John's dead friends (apparently already edited by the cops), who became thoroughly unlikeable for me when they preformed the "Odenbrook dance" and made bad puns about ten minutes in. John, who is the "tech-head" of the group, helpfully informed them that they could conserve battery power by turning things off. Fortunately he leaves the group early; he and Tess planned on pranking the others later in the night. So, he came up with an excuse to leave, planning on meeting Tess back in the asylum later in the night. Naturally, he chains the only exit shut when he leaves.The rest of the movie follows the group doing investigations, occasionally interrupted by scenes of police questioning. From this point the movie is not slow, but it's not exactly entertaining. It's standard Paranormal Activity fare -- that is, doors slamming and EVP's, with some actual ghosts showing up. Of course, every "scary" scene is followed by the camera person freaking out, and giving us camera work that makes it look like they're an epileptic having a stroke. The first death is about an hour into the movie, and the rest follow quickly.At this point, I was wondering why John was even under police scrutiny. Each death is clearly filmed on camera, and he's nowhere to be found. The second person to die was killed by something invisible, and then a ghost flickered into existence and kissed his body. The woman then paused the video and continued to question John, still asking if he killed them.The ending was a doozy. It was, in my opinion, the worst part of the movie. It was a twist that was stupid, and, quite frankly, confusing. So, yes, this was a bad movie, but it was nothing compared to Troll 2 or Manos. However, if you like SyFy original movies, you'll enjoy the ride.
