The film tells the story of the Finley family: Ellen, a widow who lives with his two sons Thomas and Samantha. A series of dark events of an unknown entity convince his brother to place cameras everywhere, to understand what is happening between those walls and keep the situation under control ... But that does nothing but trigger unknown entity ...
The Asylum is a production company awarded the degree in the remake of the blockbuster best-known. The guidelines for the creation of these 'creatures' are simple: choose a hit at the box office ( Transformer , Cloverfield, I Am Legend ), shuffle the cards and at very short notice, using flimsy budget, films that bring out their dignity, while also taking the distance from the original. They are so light the infamous mockbuster (Transmorphers, Monster, I Am Omega). However, there are plans to list free of any derivative matrix, at least as a source of inspiration, as 100 Feet of Eric Red or King of the Ants of absolute genius Stuart Gordon. If the results are almost always disastrous but this time the outcome is satisfactory, bearing in mind a number of assumptions: the insufficiency of the means employed almost reduced to zero, the limited time that was shot ( only two days!) and a script full of inconsistencies that the movie clip the wings for most of his life, except to explode into a crescendo of tension in the beautiful dark shades final: dramatic, desperate, authentic.
Two are the strengths on which to decide leverage: the ability to power in being able to create scenes of terror which catch the viewer in what, ultimately, are moments of stillness. Nothing happens, the fixed camera paints a portrait of daily life seemingly quiet, but that's where lies the crux of success. In almost all the horror on invisible entities, to startle and scare it will take the special moment, the sound that goes crazy and all jump off the chair. Paranormal Entity, in contrast, played by leveraging aspects of a routine that slowly reveals itself the bearer of discomfort, fear and despair. The second reason for the success of film written, directed and starring Shane Van Dyke indeterminability is the threat that haunts the protagonists ... A bad site in the deepest depths of the home, the unknown, intangible but omnipresent. And all the wise actions of the joint director of photography ( Akis Konstantakopoulos ) and placed in dark rooms greenish lights - which could to symbolize a threat alien, demonic, otherworldly - gives the right amount of suspense to the whole.
I am not going to criticize the operation to be his 'clone' of Paranormal Activity, as, the history of horror shows, everything is a continuous recycling with which we must live with. Any 'The Hills Have Eyes' of Alexandre Aja has much more in common with the Wrong Turn of Rob Schmidt instead of conl'originale Wes Craven, which purports to to be valid. But no one dares to impale this to the director of High Tension ... In this case, change the title is an excuse to hide the matrix derivative of the plot. That's it. Paranormal Entity, as well as all the productions Asylum projects and make things clear right away. Situations such as block buster dall'incasso safe from which it draws, but that developments and follow different paths.
worthy of attention even the characterization of Samantha, played by a talented Erin Marie Hogan , which gives credibility to his character that makes use of gradual changes in relation the evolution of the story and aspects of the film. First class snob sister, heedless of everything that happens in the home, and later able to be able to pass a glance or by a cold expression in his eyes the anguish experienced by the protagonist, his slow death, the relentless torment. That inability to react, that sense of loss before malignant entity - that strikes the viewer as well - his character is the strong point of Paranormal Entity. If managed well and will carefully choose future projects, Erin Marie Hogan in my opinion is destined for great things in the world of cinema. The start bodes well. For the rest good movie mockumentary genre that he was among the best and we recommend a viewing.
Rating: 7 / 10
