The Apparition review

Can I just say that this movie sucked? Because it did.


Since it is Halloween season, I have been constantly searching for great horror movies. I'm a big fan of the genre and I seriously love a great scare. However, this movie was just insulting. I mean fine, my heart jumped a few times because of a few scenes that were fast paced but this movie was just that. Surprising at one scene and then boring after that. It failed to meet my standards of a good movie. The kind that would keep me awake at night. 


May 21, 1973: Six people are conducting The Charles Experiment; a para-pyschological experiment. They look at a drawing of a deceased man, Charles Reamer, and with all of them concentrating at the same time, they hope to be able to summon his spirit into the room.
Years later, four college students, Patrick (Tom Felton), Lydia (Julianna Guill), Greg (Luke Pasqualino), and Ben (Sebastian Stan) attempt to recreate the Charles Experiment on a larger scale by using modern technology to amplify their concentration over 400 times the original. Not only is the experiment a success but also a hazard. As things start to go wrong, Ben tries to run way from the mistake he made. As Ben and his girlfriend Kelly (Ashley Greene) move into a new house, they witness bizarre occurrences and think that their house is haunted. Ben has tried to keep the secret of the experiment from Kelly until one day, she finds his trunk of gadgets. This unleashes the truth and a series of events that will be too much of a spoiler. This movie doesn't even involve a lot of chasing, killing, change of setting or what not. 

I still don't recommend that you watch this movie. It is seriously a waste of time.
