So while the demon is, of course, the film's primary villain, Micah's toxicity is the catalyst that led to Katie succumbing to demonic possession.

In the end, this allowed the demon a prime opportunity to take full control. He gaslights Katie throughout the entire film, and by doing so, he effectively breaks her down, allowing her negative emotions to take hold. Micah manages to convince Katie (and himself) that he is "in control" of this situation he knows absolutely nothing about. Yet Micah ignores both of them, ultimately resulting in tragedy. The psychic directly spelled out for Micah why communicating with the demon would be reckless, and Katie voiced her opposition to purposefully drawing the demon out on multiple occasions. Perhaps the most egregious of Micah's actions is his willingness to put not only himself, but Katie in direct danger to fuel his own ego. While Katie is the one at the center of all of these horrifying, traumatic events, Micah never fails to ignore her wishes and disregard her thoughts about the demon. The obviously possessed Katie crawls into the frame with a menacing grin, and just before the film cuts to black, her face changes into a demonic-like figure as she lunges, screaming at the camera. Then Micah's body is suddenly thrown at the camera, knocking it down. After a few moments of Micah screaming, silence follows. Suddenly, Katie releases a bloodcurdling scream, and Micah springs into action.įalling victim to the demon's trap, Micah leaves the room, and the camera continues rolling as the action happens offscreen. For two hours, Katie silently watches Micah sleeping before heading downstairs. The next night, the camera feed shows Katie exiting the bed while Micah is still asleep. Micah gives in to her request, unaware that the Katie he knew is gone for good.
To his surprise, Katie has had a complete change of heart about leaving the house and begs him to stay in the home with her, insisting they'll be safe there after all. You won't be squirming in your seat due to anything but boredom.Once Micah has everything in order, he heads upstairs to retrieve Katie. The pleasures of a 'Paranormal' movie should be a lot simpler.
Worse still is the script's pillaging of the far-superior 'Poltergeist', complete with an extra-dimensional portal in a child's bedroom, a blond girl who becomes a vessel for evil and a late-inning heroic mom. Their discovery of an old video camera (complete with tapes) is painfully dull, and the rest of the cast's porn-level acting doesn't help to liven things up. 'The Ghost Dimension' introduces an obnoxious set of adult bros, one of them the man of the house, the other his dumped sib who's come to crash at Christmas time. The generic suburban banality feels especially deadening this time around, as yet another family with a curious kid finds itself terrorised by loud bangs at night.

See the Full Cast & Crew page for The Shawshank Redemption (1994) for examples. It looks like we don't have any Cast and Crew for this title yet. The USP this time – obvious from the start – is too much money: spectral black goo floats in the air like motes of dust, a computer-generated effect that feels like a breach of trust when we've come to expect less. See agents for this cast & crew on IMDbPro. Each time, a new gimmick would turn the concept on its head: the wandering "pool cam" or the oscillating "fan cam."įinally, though, director Gregory Plotkin and his small phalanx of screenwriters have choked the ghost to death with this awful sixth installment, such a tepid bomb that it triggers catcalls from paying audiences.
Never strong on story or character, the found-footage 'Paranormal Activity' series has stuck around by dint of craft alone – no small feat when you consider how these films always felt like they were made by amateurs over single weekends with a few customer-grade video cameras and some fishing wire.
