Reviews

dominiquedubey As a huge fan of GAC, I decided to watch this with my mum. We were both heavily annoyed by the arrogance and distaste the men team on this show called 'Resident Undead Paranormal' not only did they continuously say sly rude comments about the other time but we very unprofessional and disrespectful to the living dead. The other team were also only show for 10% of the team, while the mens team was show constantly which became a bore, there attitudes would be terrible if they tried to get their own show. At the end of the episode they present their evidence to the judges the other team supplied what to me is one of the most amazing EVPs I have heard, while Resident Undead supplied crappy evidence. Truly truly disappointed with this show.
Seb Two teams of paranormal investigators wander around a location previously featured on Ghost Adventures. Mostly they are quite large folk and the sweat starts rolling within minutes. If they can survive the haunted locations and diabetes they win "bragging rights", presumably over the other team of heart attack magnets. It's tacky and feels cheap but I quite like it. Most of the evidence is poor but they do catch a few interesting things. The main reason to watch are the weird teams who react to the camera either by looking distinctly uncomfortable or shouting "huuuuh-rahhh bring it onnnnnn" and saying things like "We're going to face them. In the face."The most cringeworthy bits though have to be the women investigators who make the unfortunate decision to flirt with the deceased. These budding necrophiliacs say things like "you want me?" and "imagine what we could do together." I have to stress that these women are incredibly unattractive middle aged frumps. It's hardly surprising that they elicit no response whatsoever.I've decided it's worth an extra star for having the mesmerisingly awful and nervy Chris Flemming in it. Sadly he doesn't get possessed and bray like a horse like he did in Hollywood Hauntings which was a bit of a let down.
cobra_freak_006 well im not really sure where to start with this one.its pretty much just a gameshow about 2 paranormal teams that go into locations that the Ghost Adventures crew have already investigated and they are given a very limited amount of time to gather evidence of the paranormal.now personally i like paranormal shows. ill watch ghost hunters and ghost adventures and my ghost story, the haunted which was on animal planet... i really dislike this show. to me it feels like a game show with no prize and the only people that profit is the creators. plus when you think of paranormal investigations you don't think of a time limit. you are inside a place and things either happen or they don't. you cant assume just because it happened once that it will happen again. 2 hours to investigate is not enough time to even set up. plus the idea of turning a paranormal investigation into a gameshow is just a horrible idea even for a spin off. i give this 3 out of 10 and 3 is speaking generously. i still feel it should be lower
carlphillips408 two teams spend the night in a haunted location trying to collect as much evidence as possible using modern equipment. they present their findings at the end of the show.the team with the most findings win a prize. the show is hosted by Zak. a rushed show that jumps on the ghost adventures money train.i do not think a single night in a haunted location is enough time for a serious investigation.an attempt to make more money out of an over used idea.it tries to introduce new ideas.a sure fire way of getting lots of viewers & making loads of money. will attract a lot of fans but (hopefully) will wither away to nothing over time.
