To me, this movie is perfection.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Blistering performances.

Horror movies has long suffered from an illness called "lack of originality". There are several ways to combat this, one of them is risking. This Spanish film, directed by Carles Torrens and written by Rodrigo Cortés, tried to risk, but the shot backfired due to the stupid ideas that passed through the heads of these two gentlemen. It must be said, however, that Spanish cinema has been responsible for some of the most airy and innovative horror films of recent years, and this has made me expect something more from this film that never came.Using the old "found footage" formula, which we have already seen in "Paranormal Activity" and "Last Exorcism", we follow a team of experts who will investigate strange phenomena in a house where a man and two kids are living after the recent death of his wife/mother. And here the inconsistencies begin... for example, the experts say they don't want to disturb their comfort but, at the same time, they settle in their house, fill everything with machinery and put more cameras than in "The Big Brother" show . Does it make sense? Shortly after, the audience begins to be toasted with subtle supernatural activities that worsen over time, but the film doesn't explore this, preferring to suggest "logical explanations" for the phenomena. Many of them are implicitly suggested but they're there: sickness, sexual harassment, murder... the film shoots in all directions until it disproves its own haunting thesis, contradicting itself to the point that we no longer know what the hell of experts are those guys! The ending turns out to be so bad and disappointing that it makes me want to make the screenwriter to swallow the movie.Brutal inconsistencies, bad script options, bad dialogues, a lot of dead moments with some scares in the middle... In all these mud, there's something positive: good sound and special effects is much better than the poor quality that reigns in horror films and Gia Mantegna overcame her youth and inexperience, proving to be a better actress than many of those adults... Kai Lennox was also well, in a suffered and psychologically very heavy character. And that's all that this unfortunate movie has to give us. It doesn't add anything good to the genre and will not bring good memories to anyone involved. Fortunately, it also turns out to be so forgettable that you're probably going to forget it the day after watching.

There are some great scares in this movie that kept me going. Then there were the terrible ones. And the long, drawn-out drama scenes that just didn't work for me. Maybe because they tended to be clichéd scenes that I already knew the ending to that they tried to extend for dramatic effect but fell flat. At the end of one of those scenes, one of the actors was laughing, and I don't think she was acting because it was ridiculous. The premise was okay, but I don't feel like they stuck to it. In the end, you don't know exactly what happened or why. And I didn't even care. It's just not that good. On a side note, as I looked this up, I saw Michael O'Keefe in the cast! I realized, "Oh! It's the kid from Caddyshack!" He didn't do a bad job, but I thought it was funny.

I know a movie I found hilarious should be rated more than 1 for the pure fact that laughing is a wonderful thing, but this movie wasn't supposed to be funny. The dialogue was ridiculous and made me chortle quite often. The father's acting was so bad I can't believe anyone could take him seriously. There's a part where the father shouts that his wife is a you- know-what that had me laughing pretty hard. The plot was so obvious right from the start. Nothing was a surprise at all. Things that were supposed to be scary include the phone ringing and no one is there (WOW SO SCARY!), the doorbell ringing and no one is there (IMMA PEE MAHSELF!), and then they both ring AT THE SAME TIME! Can you believe it??? Unless you want a laugh, don't bother with this joke of a movie.

A parapsychologist team are asked to investigate Apartment 143. The White family, who have lost their wife/mother in a car crash, have been experiencing strange things since they moved in to the apartment. But, they were also experiencing things at their old place. After the team set up their equipment, they get some compelling evidence on camera.Beware reviews submitted by those who worked on the film! You can tell who they are cuz the people only have one review under their screen name and each time it's a glowing review for this monstrosity!The movie has been done so many times, it's not funny and this movie offers nothing different. It's very slow and when it finally gets a bit exciting, it's half done and you're sleepy.It's not that it's poorly made, or acted it's just BLAH. Who cares. I've seen it before and in better ways.BTW the interior of the "apartment" is strangely set up like a house. I wonder what that's about? The interiors look like nothing an apartment looks like unless you're living in the Dakota!Finally with only 20 minutes left to the movie, things start happening! And then it gets slow and talkie again. Unacceptable. This movie could have been good, but they simply took a formula and applied it, rendering the movie sub-par.
