osborneangela I thought Ashley Green gave a OK performance... the rest was inexpressive and soulless. There were too many holes in the story. At the start I thought it might fun indie science fiction film but ended up being another try hard paranormal activity gone wrong.. boo! Don't bother unless you want to see some really well done hair extensions.

SnoopyStyle In 1973, a group of paranormal psychologists called on their deceased colleague Charles Reamer. College students Patrick (Tom Felton), Lydia (Julianna Guill), Ben (Sebastian Stan) and Greg (Luke Pasqualino) try to recreate that experiment and something horrible results. Young couple Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben start to find strange occurrences in their suburban life. Ben is notified that the attempt to contain the entity has failed.There is nothing new in this movie. That's not a major problem by itself. There are countless horrors being made and the vast majority are derivative of earlier horrors. The problem in this one is that there isn't anything scary. There aren't even good jump scares. There's nothing here. The use of suburbia and the box store derive no compelling style, tense isolation or creepy undertones. The movie sets up a few interesting visual ideas but none of it is scary.

Davis P It's actually shocking how bad this was! This "horror" movie is probably the most clichéd, and generic one I've seen in a very long time! The acting was laughable. The scenes were NOT scary! The special effects were extremely fake looking. Ashley Greene had better snag a great role in a great movie soon, because really all she has is this and the twilight movies, and she's not a good actress at all. There are scenes where you will face palm and just laugh your head off! I'm at a loss of what else to say 😂. It's just truly horrible in every way. Nothing original, every cliché in the book, bad acting, just do yourself a favor and skip this insult to cinema! 1/10 for The Apparition, a truly horrible movie.

Jon Patrick It should go without saying, but for anyone who may be prone to pre- judging a movie based on the reviews of so-called experts - please do not pay any attention to them whatsoever.This movie is not without what I could consider to be minor flaws, but as a viewing experience it was exactly what I wanted.The plot was tried and true (and this should not be used as a stick to beat the film with) but with a twist. Without giving anything away, if you're looking for an easy-to-watch, traditional horror movie and prefer a younger cast this will be perfect.The acting, bar one exception, is very good and the two main characters have great chemistry together. The only issue I had with the acting was Tom Felton's performance, which was not very convincing, although it wasn't awful by any means.The progression of how they learn that the house is haunted was done very nicely and at a good pace, and I felt they waited an acceptable amount of time before proclaiming "it's haunted". If I was being picky I would have liked for them to hold out a little bit longer and for one of the two to be more skeptical, but it wasn't a big deal as the waited a fair amount of time anyway. My only other complaint with regards to the plot was the decision that the couple take to camp out in their garden for the night. It would have made more sense for them to get a hotel, as they eventually do, or at least call the police.The camera work and overall presentation is good and makes the movie easy to watch. It was shot in a nice location which made for some surprisingly nice scenery. However, the way that they presented the "found footage" of the earlier experiments (the more recent two) was quite poor and didn't come across as found footage or naturally pieced together at all. They should have avoided what looked to be unnecessary effects in filming.All in all I enjoyed the movie and would not be averse to seeing it again, which is basically the measuring stick I use to determine whether it was good or not. I chose to give it a 7/10 which outlines the viewing experience and that I considered it more than just decent, but in fact "good". To summarize, if you like horrors and aren't a snob when it comes to traditional, tried and tested haunted house story lines then this is a movie that is worth your time and money.
