I love this movie so much

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The camera work was not bad for a movie probably made on a budget. The acting was pretty good as well to say they were mostly unknowns. I'd say the only down side was the ending which leaves you hanging. This is one of those movies you have to keep watching or you'll miss some action. The effects aren't bad at all. Good story line, not half as bad as some reviewers make out, put it this way ... I've seen a lot worse!!!!! Great locations, spooky enough to draw you into the ghost hunting atmosphere. A great movie to watch on Halloween as a taster for more scary stuff later on. There's no sex scenes, no nudity and very mild language compared to some stuff on the TV right now so as long as it's vetted first, older kids would enjoy it too.

I read reviews before watching this so I didn't go in with some high expectations or anything like that but I'm a fan of paranormal movies so I wanted to give it a try. I am the type of person who feels the need to finish things. Every movie I've watched in my life, I feel the need to finish it no matter how bad it is because I want to know what happens and if it will get better. If I start a book but I'm not necessarily into it, I make myself finish it. I finish things... so it says a lot that I couldn't even watch this through. I can't put my finger on what exactly made it so bad to me but it was just bad. I watched a little over the first thirty minutes and actually skipped parts after that a time or two. Then I jumped to the end... I'm sure some people will enjoy it anyway and that's great. For me personally, I didn't like it much at all. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I suggest you watch Grave Encounters if you want something like this (only better).

Blake Daniels (Ossie Gibson) is a dying a millionaire who wants to gage the afterlife to see if his many sins will indeed lead him to hell. He hires a TV show called PI for paranormal inspectors who debunk haunting. Their target is a famous West Virginia mental hospital that is closed down. This will be the shows 50th episode and they feel their biggest break yet. Once they arrive they find another group of investigators also hired by Daniels without their knowledge. This second group takes the Christian side of it believing demons are running loose and the two groups clash. The bickering between the two groups just become annoying and in the end the audience doesn't care who is right. Director's Tess & Joe Smalley manage a few ghostly chills and even an unexpected jump scare but they are too few and far between. Some of the apparitions are digital flashes that are just not convincing. The Smalley's must have thought the two group's differences would provide interesting entertainment. They were wrong. As it stands 'Episode 50' is watchable but utterly forgettable.

This movie was not exactly what I expected, in neither a good or bad way. The overall acting was, at times, wooden and stilted, and the plot is a bit convoluted, but the production is amazing for the type of film it is. There were a few good scares (one caught me off guard pretty well) and the director didn't miss opportunities to add to the atmosphere by using camera angles and effects to set up a good feeling of ghosts and ghouls. The premise of "found footage" and "ghost hunters gone wrong" is played to death, but I really enjoyed this movie in an overall sense. I won't extol what happens and will only say that it is a little trite but worth a look. Of course I say that because I truly enjoyed watching it. I think that most reviews on this film are harsh, so I am trying to give a more "overall" review, to say that I looked at it for what it is, an indie horror movie made on a handful of cash using "need the quick cash" actors and it blew me away.
