THE HAUNTING OF FOX HOLLOW FARM is another amateurish 'paranormal investigation' indie effort in which a bunch of amateur researchers head off to a remote farmhouse that once belonged to a serial killer. They proceed to do their research, conduct interviews, and generally tread water until the credits roll. There's also a lot of the usual night-vision camera shooting which reveals very little. This film is both predictable and routine.

Advertised as a documentary this is an hour long feature about real life killer Herb Baumeister.The first half gives you a background of Baumeister and the murders committed, the second turns to a night vision filled paranormal investigation much like Most Haunted (2002).The trouble is I don't believe any of it. Though it's supposed to be a real documentary it all felt very contrived. And the second half, well alike Most Haunted I believe it's a combination of fake & desperation.I simply couldn't take this seriously as a documentary and from a movie standpoint it's not even on the scale.Boring, lifeless, faux documentary about subject matter that deserves real attention.The Good: Based on an interesting true story The Bad: Many interview segments are repeated I doubt every single seconds authenticity More ghost hunter nonsense Things I Learnt From This Movie: Native American Shamans also come in white

The Haunting of Fox Hollow Farm (2011)** (out of 4) Director Dan T. Hall takes us to one of the most haunted areas in Indiana. This property was formerly owned by a serial killer and many people claim that his victims still haunt the land. A group of psychics and paranormal investigators visit the property in hopes of discovering who exactly is there.THE HAUNTING OF FOX HOLLOW FARM is pretty typical for the current trend of ghost hunter type programs. This documentary clocks in at 67-minutes and gives us a brief history of the serial killer and then we get into the actual hauntings. For the most part none of what we see is all that creepy and perhaps it's just me but all the EVP stuff is just rather silly and usually makes me laugh more than anything else. It's not just this documentary but whenever I see people using the EVP to capture voices it just makes me roll my eyes because I personally can't hear anything yet these people use it to hear all sorts of words and phrases. There's nothing overly bad with this documentary but at the same time there's nothing good either.

Recently my friend got me one of those $5, 20 horror movie packs that you might find at K- mart; Well this film happened to be in it. The title was deceiving as I was wanting a film like "The Messageners" as country farm houses with ghosts are a turn on for me horror wise. But the film itself was very creepy and spooky to say the least.The whole story is about many murders that took place in Indianapolis, IN in the late to mid-90's and the serial killer behind all of them. Both Paranormal investigations are done and as well federal investigations throughout. You are also told the events of what happened very well If you happen to see this film it's definitely worth a watch!
