Found Footage movies are an acquired taste If you are a fan like I am, this movie is better than most. If it is not your style, however, You probably won't like it. The cast is recognizable and the acting was good Give it a shot A group of paranormal investigators are called in by a father, Alan White Kai Lennox , who has been experiencing some strange goings on in his apartment. Alan lives in the apartment with his young son, Benny, and his rebellious teenage daughter, Caitlin.
Alan actually suspects that the noises could be possibly made by the spirit of his wife who died in a car accident, but as the investigation goes on it becomes apparent that something much more sinister is developing. OK, straight to the point here which is Apartment is basically a Paranormal Activity wannabe.
It's not a "lost footage found" movie, but it's very much along the same premise as Paranormal Activity, like I said, and also movies like Grave Encounters and The Tunnel. Unfortunately, Apartment isn't anywhere near as creepy or as good as any of the those. In fact, it's actually pretty boring for the main part.
The story actually starts you straight off with the investigators moving into the apartment and putting up their equipment. There's no sort of lead or build up to why they are there. You eventually get a back story from the father about halfway through the movie, but before then you really just piece it together yourself as it goes on.
The story overall isn't that bad really, but it does kind of leave you empty and unfulfilled. The acting is pretty mediocre as well even though I've seen much, much worse before , but Michael O'Keefe as Dr. Helzer was really like a Kardashian at a Mensa meeting in this movie and was totally out of place. Some of his reactions and acting was just like he was still in an episode of Roseanne. While overall he wasn't that bad, he definitely wasn't that good at playing the part of a scientist.
Apartment was a bit of a let down and if you enjoying watching movies of this genre then avoid this one because there is much more better choices out there than this. Let me bet fair by stating that I'm not at all a fan of the "documentary" Horror sub-genre. I wish IMDb would have some sort of method for tagging films according to sub-genres as well and while I'm it, I'd like to say again that I'm not an expert critic, just a Horror freak spectator.
Maybe IMDb does have such a system and I've just missed it I have a very hard time objectively criticizing this sub-genre, so I'll leave the acting review to you. One thing that did annoy me was the screenplay. I find that to be both disappointing and ridiculous. Should have put in more work on the screenplay to make sure the pieces came together by the ending. Like I said, this isn't a sub-genre I easily connect with. If you're into this sub-definitely watch this! After the team set up their equipment, they get some compelling evidence on camera.
Beware reviews submitted by those who worked on the film! You can tell who they are cuz the people only have one review under their screen name and each time it's a glowing review for this monstrosity! The movie has been done so many times, it's not funny and this movie offers nothing different. It's very slow and when it finally gets a bit exciting, it's half done and you're sleepy.
It's not that it's poorly made, or acted it's just BLAH. Who cares. I've seen it before and in better ways. BTW the interior of the "apartment" is strangely set up like a house. I wonder what that's about? The interiors look like nothing an apartment looks like unless you're living in the Dakota! Finally with only 20 minutes left to the movie, things start happening! And then it gets slow and talkie again. This movie could have been good, but they simply took a formula and applied it, rendering the movie sub-par.
The conclusion of this movie is completely unsatisfying. It doesn't make sense and the twist makes even less sense. Nothing to see in this one. On the other hand, its plot is needlessly confusing and ultimately provides a baffling resolution that raises more questions than it answers.
When it comes to movies like this, I think certain filmmakers are mired in the misguided belief that there should be both an explanation and a twist, as there would be in a conventionally shot supernatural thriller. I've repeatedly asserted my position on the original "Paranormal Activity," namely that it worked so well was because Oren Peli kept audiences in the dark, literally and figuratively. It was about mood and atmosphere, not plot.
It begins decently enough. A hand-held camera introduces us to three paranormal researchers as they drive in their van. Helzer Michael O'Keefe. Their destination is an apartment building somewhere in Los Angeles. They arrive at the unit of Alan White Kai Lennox , who needs their help in explaining the odd occurrences that have been happening.
The scientists set up a series of surveillance cameras around the apartment, along with a series of still cameras, motion detectors, and various pieces of computer equipment. They also get to know Alan's children. There's four-year-old Benny Damian Roman , who's outgoing and bright.
Then there's his teenage daughter, Caitlin Gia Mantegna , who's disrespectful and combative towards her father. According to Alan, the trouble started not long after a car accident killed his wife. This was in the family's old house. When they moved, the trouble moved right along with them. Indeed, the scientists bear witness to apparent paranormal activity almost as soon as they arrive.
Phones ring, yet no one is at the other end of the line. Doors open and close on their own. Heavy footsteps seem to be emanating from the floor above them, although Alan claims that very few tenants populate this building.
Perhaps the sound is coming from pipes, or rats, or metal fatigue. Sudden gusts of air fill the living room. The central ceiling light sways ominously. Later on, when they examine a night's worth of still frames, they look at one in Caitlin's room and see the unmistakable shape of a human figure cloaked in shadow.
Is it possible that the ghost of Alan's wife is haunting the apartment? Benny seems to think so, but then again, Benny is the stereotype of the precocious and intuitive child who, even with his limited vocabulary, seems to have a better grasp of the situation than the adults do. Caitlin doesn't seem to care one way or the other about the prospect of a haunting.
She only projects anger and hate, firmly believing that her father is responsible for her mother's death. Is this the case? The techs — or, more accurately, Ellen, seeing as Paul is essentially a superfluous character that's only good for wiseass remarks — are convinced that Alan is a poor soul struggling to keep his family together after such an incredible loss.
What does Helzer think? He asks all the shrink questions, although he doesn't make his true feelings known until nearly the end of the film, at which point he's more of an anomaly than a character.
