Just perfect...

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

After my disappointment of this not being what I was expecting, I watched it again, and saw it for "itself". Lots of raw emotion. I was surprised that Ryan Buell finally felt free enough to share some of his story, which he has kept to himself up until now. I understand why he felt abused, and he was. Sad what happened to him and Chad, and this is the crux of the movie for me. Not sadness, but family, and how the paranormal effects "normal" people & the ones around them. We attach stigmas to things we don't want the neighbors to know. I hope that in time, these stigmas will just go away, because they are just prideful and stupid. Life is full of things that we don't understand, or are capable (at this time) to perceive. I grew up with "things" that scared my mother and my dad said didn't exist, and thought was stupid. I kept a lot of it to myself, and I grew up being scared all the time as I didn't really know how to handle "things". I know how to handle "things" now, but it would have been nice to have made it through high school without being a "weirdo", and scared out of my mind. Good movie, guys, keep it up.

I wanted to like this movie, especially since I waited 6 months to finally receive it. I will make this short and sweet. It was awful. NO paranormal activity, just some major family dysfunction. Mr. Calek attempts to convince you that his family experienced paranormal events. There is no proof, no evidence to support his claims. Ryan Buell co-stars in this movie, he does not add anything to substantiate the paranormal claims and to top it off, Lorraine Warren, a well-known demonologist, gets in on the act. Why she took part in this very poorly crafted "documentary" I will never understand. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or money on this movie. You will most likely be disappointed.

Okay did we all watch the same documentary because this movie was TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that a fellow colleague let me borrow this movie because I'd pretty upset with myself if I had actually paid for this crap. There was nothing paranormal about this movie. Chad, Ryan and Chad's parents are all a bunch of attention seekers (to say it in a nice way). The title was a deceit and so was the promotion of this movie. In my opinion, Chad and the people in this so-called documentary are just a bunch of scammers and they give the paranormal community a bad reputation. Please save your money and your time you are most definitely not missing out on anything.
