Review of The Apparition (2012) by Erin C — 02 May 2014

A bit better than most standard horror movie. Not too bad. In the 70s, a few para physics tried an experiment to contact their dead colleague. In the 1980s, 3 university students (Sebastian Stan, Tom Felton and Julianna Guill) did a parapsychology experiment of the same to which they incidentally open up a door portal for a kind of ghost to enter the world.

Resulting the death of Julianna as she is capture and disappear into a wall. Years passed, Sebastian and his girlfriend Ashley Greene move into a new house. First night there the newly bought cactus withered and the locked door opened when they were asleep.

Sebastian install CCTV and changed the locks. Their neighbor's pet dog enter their kitchen, saw something and die immediately. Their house flooring grow mold suddenly. Tom emailed Sebastian about the experiment update but he ignore.

Tom did a second experiment to trap the entities in his apparition chamber. But it failed and the entity is loose into the world. After shower Ashley saw the hangars twisted and scratches on the wall.

She bought a new dog to compensate her neighbor. Ashley saw the experiment video in Sebastian hard disk and confront him. She is angry he didn't tell her such a thing happened and he knew what's going on all along.

They stay in a motel for the night. Sebastian awaken and find himself stuck to the ceiling, looking at his sleeping body. Ashley is covered by the blanket and nearly vacuum packed to death. He manage to get down back to his body and rip the blanket saving her.

Tom finally contact Sebastian and told them his findings. It is a supernatural source which is more powerful than spirits and ghost as its not of human world. Their experiment open a portal and then unlock the door for them to come in.

The portal is getting bigger. It feeds on them and want to get into their world. The trio go back to the house and do another experiment in reverse hoping to close the portal. 2 days passed after it, all is peaceful.

Tom was drinking and sitting down. The door behind him open and suck him in. Sebastian and Ashley go to hiding in Tom's chamber but it cannot block the presence. Sebastian also end up dead rather quickly after entering the chamber.

Ashley run out but the car is overturn and no chance to survive. She go to a camping tent in the mall and wait for death. Many hands surrounded her and she is dead..
