Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
AaronCapenBanner The Wyrick family moves into an abandoned house in Georgia where their young daughter Heidi starts seeing the spirit of a man she calls Mr. Gordy, who is quite friendly and non-threatening, but invisible to her parents. She also sees two other spirits, one also non-threatening, but the other a sinister hooded presence that only Heidi can see, but still makes its presence known in a hurtful physical way, and it seems Heidi has the gift of spirit sight that may be more like a curse... Second of two specials that led to the TV series isn't quite as good as Connecticut, but is still interesting, and case had been profiled earlier on "Unsolved Mysteries", to shorter but better effect.
Anyanwu This is a bad film. We know we have re-enactments and the real people who experience this as talking heads. But, what the film does is repeat scenes to extend the length of the film so to get sold or something. They just show the scenes over to take the place of actual filming. The film follows reality shows like Ghost Adventures to show actual paranormal phenomena. The filmmakers use re-enactments to show the audience what happened to the family at that time. By using what seems to be the actual people the story comes off as weak. The cut aways to lightning and clouds moving fast just emphasizes the cheapness that this movie was made. It seems to have been made in the '80s but finally edited and put together and sold/released in 2002. Someone must have forgotten about this film, remembered it then put it together. This is a cheat. Don't watch it unless it's free.
disdressed12 this feature length documentary on an alleged real life haunting has it eerie moments to be sure,but the whole thing just doesn't quite add up for me.there are some positive things about it though.the music,for one.it's suitable eerie,to say the least.and once again,the narration of Tony Call(The F.B.I. Files)is is a perfect fit for this type of documentary.a few things bothered me though.for instance,when the family members were being interviewed about the events,they didn't come across to me as being completely sincere or genuine.and as another reviewer commented,why would the family stay in the house after all they had been through?apparently they are still living there and still experiencing activity.to me,that doesn't make sense.which is why is i use the word alleged.for a much better documentary dealing with a real life horror,i would recommend A Haunting In Connecticut,which is much more believable and terrifying.A Haunting in Georgia has its moments,just not that many,and there are too many inconsistencies. 6/10
krbartels This program (now known as "A Haunting") became a series after a few early episodes, like this one in Georgia, and another in Connecticut.What is interesting is, early on, they used the actual people (victims?) in the re-enactment. When "A Haunting" became a regular series a few years later, the production became good at casting actors that were reminiscent of the actual people. It is not common to see the people in the story doing the acting.This is a very good episode, which takes place over a period of many years. The young girl around whom the story is centered actually grows up over the course of the story, and is seen commenting on her experiences.Fascinating stuff. Love the paranormal.
