Five people investigate the paranormal for their internet channel. They get an opportunity at a real TV network. They decide to film something bigger to show to the network. There is the haunted Farhope Tower which has been abandoned since the late 80s due to some unexplained deaths. As they investigate, they are influenced by unknown forces.This is a smaller Canadian horror. The good news is that this is not found footage. The bad news is that it's not that good. There is nothing scary. The atmosphere doesn't rise to be creepy. The style is blah. The actors are perfectly fine and that's the only good from this. There is nothing exceptional going on here.

The film opens in 1977 with a 1960's stereo. A man kills his wife for being pregnant by another man, then kills himself. In a newspaper clip we discover that the child survived. Since then people have mysterious killed themselves in this building, all above the tenth floor. Five paranormal investigators wanting to make a dynamite pilot film go to this place where others dare not go.Jake (John White) and Andre (Evan Williams) who lead the group grew up in this area and used to make frequent visits here as kids until...Andre does not want to go back, but is out voted.The production is NOT found footage although elements creep in. The sound track was fairly rhythmic providing a decent excitement build. Most of the filming looked professional as director/actress April Mullen spends time on both sides of the camera. I did notice a sound goof toward the end when a person was being kicked in the gut, the sound happened before the leg/foot landed. Filmed in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. What I didn't grasp were the outside nighttime scenes as if a vehicle was approaching the tower. What was that about? Guide: No sex or nudity. No F-words that I recall. Just some old fashion woman beating. Soft 3 stars Please note a splint and a stretcher is the proper way to treat a broken leg in the field. Don't let a friend set it and then "see if you can walk."
