Such a frustrating disappointment
... View MoreSlow pace in the most part of the movie.
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis is the worst show I have ever seen. I would rather watch all the Nicholas Cage movies one after another. I would rather listen to Nickelback for a straight hour than watch this show. I would rather get a root canal than watch this show again. It's faker than Kylie Jenner's lips.
... View MoreI believe and watched (past) this show and then it came apparent they are clearly using Power of Suggestion. What is their background, Where did they do their studies to become "professionals" of the supernatural? If the cow chips they are serving was any deeper they would be professional Dairymen. Zak is so full of himself its laughable. Goofball, the new 3 Stooges (along with whomever they pull into their show). He is a perfect example when describing somebody that has let their success go to their head. And who picked out his frames? Somebody should tell him. And in order to comment on this show it has to be 10 lines well its definitely not all that to say that many. They should take it down a notch and try to be a little more believable, professionals. So people really do have abilities and they are not them. Just Sayin'
... View MoreExcellent show and is really believable. When I watched my first episode I didn't like it - I was really put off by Zak. But once you get past that, Zak grows on you and the evidence they get really amazes you. The visual and audio phenomena they capture is really impressive and is extremely difficult to disprove. I really like this show because they do try to disprove the evidence they catch. For example if they catch a shadow they'll calculate where people were standing and the direction light is coming from. It's really excellent and even sceptics would have trouble not conceding that they catch some amazing stuff. Another thing I like about the show is it's quite funny and there is a nice relationship between the guys.
... View MoreBeing a non-American i caught this show on cable one night and quite enjoyed it so started DL'ing it from the beginning but after Season 4 the show becomes ruined mostly due to ego and bad editing. Although it has 3 ghost hunters it becomes clear the pecking order, with Zak Bagans the self-imposed leader and presenter of the show with his fellow editor Nik Groff next and Aaron who started off as a techy but evolved into co-star with the other two. The three visit "Haunted" buildings from around the world trying to capture any evidence of the paranormal using night vision cameras, digital recorders to capture EVP's (electronic voice phenomenon) from ghosts and various gadgets said to help ghosts communicate. As mentioned the first few series have a novelty value and are quite interesting but it's clear with popularity comes ego and bad editing decisions which become more profound when stars of the show edit their own shows.As the Seasons progress the interesting "Ghost Hunting" in the so-called haunted buildings become an after thought at the end as most of the show is background investigations. Suddenly as the show got more popular Zak spends long spells massaging his ego with minute long soliloquies with cringe-worthy, badly scripted garbage with the guys trying too hard to "entertain". Also as the seasons progress the actual ghost adventure is 10 minutes at the end of the show with the other 32 minutes made up of meaningless witness statement after tedious statement with Zak and Nik trying their hands at both acting and comedy and failing miserably on both counts. Whether it was their decision or the Travel Channel's orders is unclear but it has the feel of using filler to buff out a bare shell of a show with un-entertaining background noise. For a team of guys who constantly reiterate their goal of evidence based paranormal research and investigations they fill each episode with a constant stream of hearsay, legend and "witness" accounts from people who seem to be really into the paranormal.With Aaron always being given the so called scary rooms, roles and jobs etc i was surprised to read all the comments about Zak being a bully and thought do these people not realise the good-cop bad-cop routine from the presenters once they realised it was popular with Zak getting the laughs to begin with and Aaron getting the "AWW poor Aaron" from the fans although the shine wore off quite quickly as Zak was labelled a bully on virtual media. Unfortunately when stars of reality type TV who just happen to also edit the show begin to read the fan mail the ego's expand and the substance and show withers and dies.Pros Interesting subject prompting strong views from both believers and sceptics.History of folklore spanning all continents containing some interesting tales and events.Presenters (seasons 1-4 only) who show respect and interest in the field and search for evidence based proof.Cons Shows popularity balloons the presenters egos so much that the show becomes more about them posturing and performing than ghost hunting.Team's scientific evidence mantra becomes an afterthought as most of the show is based on legend, hearsay and endless witnesses which gives the impression of time fillers with little substance to reach 42 mins per episode.Zak plays the leader sending Aaron to scary places and gets labelled a bully on social/reality media despite embarrassingly telling "evil" ghosts that he was bullied as a child and won't stand for bullying.Whenever the guys interview someone who mentions a history of possession or exorcism, yes you've guessed it, that night Zak or Nick becomes possessed by an evil spirit, or convenient spirit as the case may be! lolNow with no Nick it falls to Billy Tolley to be the new vessel for possession as i think Aaron is maybe a little too honest to pull off some fake possession acting. Despite the fact i enjoy the different locations and history if not the paranormal the recent Kay's Hollow episode and general Season ended any eager hope that possibly some " EVIDENCE " could not be explained by science. Whether it's due to falling viewing figures/less investment by the travel channel Zak is apparently now a psychic medium who after Season 14 till present gets visions and flashes of spirits and scenarios like rooms full of people, all psychic of course as non of it is captured physically. These " gifts" as he calls them strangely only appeared in the last few years despite investigating for over a decade! Season 15 was basically an ad for his little urban legend museum full of items that he said called to him. Basically he bought items with a gruesome history, van of a serial killer, dolls that move and talk but never do etc etc more an odditorium than paranormal. He should team up with Trump, both want to be in control, star, exec producer, with nobody to pull them aside to say that's a lie or that's so cringey. They use their day job to advertise their own business and make money and both project a alpha male bravado despite stories from childhood to present disputing that image greatly and potential eroded by ego, fake machismo and odd statements. lmaoWhen mainstream science proves life after death ( unsoiled by religious myth) i'll go all in, until then it's another show with a good story marred by bad acting!
