Review:
So, how many of these types of films will filmmakers make before they realize that the whole concept died with paranormal activity? You can’t keep trying to convince us that these activities did happen when all of these types of film work in the same order and ends the same way too. First, the actors question the strange activities, then they want to learn about them; then they want to see proof; after that seeing that proof they get scared and want to flee; once they try to flee the phenomenon stops and haunts them until they die. Repetitious lameness! The actors’ performances in this film weren’t too thrilling or believable; as they didn’t seem to believe the lines they were delivering. Sure they had their frightful moments of trying to cure the possessed but they twisting of the body and foreign language from the possessed was a little played out even during the film. The scenic parts of Italy were beautiful and historic-viewing. The ending was dry and boring. All in all, I will never see this film again.
