Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The Movie Diorama "The Ghost Dimension"? An entire metaphysical reality that coexists with our own physical realm? A parallel subnet of ghoulish entities and sinister demons? Well, actually it's just a tunnel above a little girl's bed. Who knew! A family move into a house where they discover a specialised camera that detects spectral sightings around their new abode. Little did they know, it's the same antagonistic presence from the previous instalments. You know what that means...! The. Exact. Same. Narrative. Structure. Innocent cute family move in. Objects move. Unexpected noises erupt. The tension "rises". Presence increases actions with confidence. People die. Some survive. The end. Except this time, it really is the end. Finished. Concluded. Done. Well, I hope so! I tend to take this franchise with a pinch of salt. I appreciate the technique used in the first few instalments and found them to be atmospheric, yet entirely disposable, horrors. Ultimately boring mind you, but a few moments of tension seemed to always arise. In this concluding chapter, the dull monotonous characters are so absurdly simpleminded that every action they choose to make leaves a bitter aftertaste. Let me illustrate this with a few examples. Shortly after discovering this convenient special camera, they witness a vicious spectral entity manifest adjacent to their daughter. Instead of fleeing the house and showing the tape to suitable authorities, they decide to stay in this house to "find out what it wants". The daughter, having never done this before, drew ancient demonic symbols behind her bed. The parents acknowledge this with fear, but do nothing as if it was normal behaviour from her. The plot is littered with these dumbfounded choices that you start to realise these are the worst parents ever. This is without critiquing the horrendous effects, non-existent character development and lack of scares. By the time the nonsensical ending occurs, you've probably given up on the film...and life.
Michael Ledo The film opens in Santa Rosa 1988. A cult like family are encouraging their special daughter to talk to an invisible entity named "Toby." In 2013 a new family moves into said house and find their camera and VHS tapes. This is a special camera is equipped with "spirit photography" capability. Their daughter Leila (Ivy George) starts speaking to "Toby" as brothers Mike (Dan Gill) and Ryan (Chris J. Murray) film spirits and watch the old tapes of a young girl who eerily describes what she sees in their time period.The film attempts to have a few cute moments before it gets serious, but the script wasn't there. The feature is all low budget hand held camera including the green cam, but doesn't give us the dreaded foot cam. The movie isn't too deep and allows the viewer to get caught up with the events. Could have been better without the insistence of using a cheap camera for the entire film.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Olivia Taylor Dudley is an attempt at eye candy.
view_and_review I guess the good thing about this film is that it's the last (so I read). Part four was a significant drop off from the first three so I figured that Ghost Dimension could only go up. Well, it was imperceptibly better than part four which means it was still a disappointment. In this episode we had a little more of a believable reason for setting up and carrying a camera everywhere. The father, Ryan (Chris Murray), found an old camera and found out that the camera is specially outfitted to see paranormal entities. That's cool because now it makes sense that a person has a camera set up in almost every corner of the house. So, unlike the first four renditions of Paranormal Activity, this one gives us glimpses of more than just moving things. But even the actual ghost footage couldn't save this.This movie still follows the same formula as the other editions: small easily explainable disturbances leading up to more unsettling occurrences culminating into the all out spook offensive. I'm not giving anything away here, that is pretty much right out of the ghost movie manual. Yes, there were some variances in the movie to make it slightly fresher but not enough to separate itself from being labeled a cash grab.
Daniel Barnard I understand the hate because it's paranormal activity. However, this film was very entertaining to me and was a fun little scary movie to watch. I'm not saying it's even great but definitely above average. I personally didn't like any of the other films and I feel that this one stuff actually happens. My main problem with the other ones are so much time wasted with nothing happening with a stupid payoff that really isn't scary. Now i'm not gonna say that all the jump scares are good because not all are but some are cool through the first person view that not much of the other films explored for some crazy reason. Now the time line with the other films are kinda cool and I like the concept but it isn't utilized to the full potential. Now I never write reviews but i felt i should write this because this film was a fun ride, nothing insanely good that's gonna turn a new leaf in the horror genre or even that it's new but more that it's a good entertaining horror film to watch when your in the mode for a interesting movie. So if you have an amazon prime membership and can watch the movie for free some night, check it out. But if you wanted to rent it for a couple bucks that's okay. To be honest I fell kinda bad saying it but I might even pick this title up on blu-ray on black Friday if it's really cheap. Not a bad one to add to the collection.
