The Apparition (2012)

Director: Todd Lincoln
Starring: Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan, Tom Felton

Synopsis:
After experimenting with the paranormal, a man and his girlfriend start to experience strange phenomena while housesitting.

Impressions:
The poster for this film had caught my eye in the past and this week's theme of ghosts and aliens gave me extra reason to seek this out. As far as stories about hauntings go, I suppose it does its job competently enough, but I would've preferred it if the focus was more on the actual experiments instead of their after-effects. Also, I didn't enjoy the character dynamics given how quickly Kelly turns on Ben. The film doesn't seem to be all that well-regarded, so if people who actually like ghost stories didn't like this, it's no surprise this didn't do much for someone who doesn't like ghost stories like me. I'll say take it or leave it, and that's probably being more generous than I should.

Rating:
50/50
