Apartment 143 (2011)
7/10
It works, despite some flaws.....
6 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Widower Alan White invites parapsychologists Dr. Helzer and colleagues, to investigate a supernatural phenomenon in his apartment in an old apartment building.

Alan is an unemployed engineer living with his four year-old son Benny and his teenage daughter Caitlin, who blames her father for the death of her mother.

After witnessing weird events, Dr. Helzer and his team find the cause of the activities...

I saw this because I got my times wrong with a screening, so this was a last minute choice, and I audibly sighed when I saw it was yet again another found footage movie.

It starts off like any other FF movie, the set up features the troubled father, the aggressive daughter, and the son who is oblivious to everything.

It plays like Insidious Meets Paranormal Activity by way of The Entity, and honestly, it's a lot better than I expected.

It's down to some eerie camera work, and a very good performance from the girl who played the aggressive teenager, who makes the mood very unsettling.

I don't know why I found it so entertaining, because it features nothing new, perhaps it's because my expectations dropped to rock bottom when I found out it was Found Footage.

Well worth seeing I reckon.
