Paranormal Movie



No Subtitles? seems inconsiderate. Overall AWESOME !
I mean it's illegal to design & construct a building without handicap access. This film has the common issue of frequent fluctuations in sound FROM EXTREMELY QUIET DIALOGUE (which expedites with humorous adult oriented one liners to keep the audience entertained) TO LOUD MOANING & MARIACHI MUSIC. I wouldn't mind the broad fluctuations in audio if i could follow along reading subtitles while keeping the sound at a constant level. Obviously my real problem is that i don't have a remote control for my surround system because I'm a BUM, but that's a different issue I believe. The 2nd half of the film has a fairly constant level to be fair. Subtitles Please.

The Movie itself. Seems pretty funny with surprising celebrity cameos from the likes of Jake Busey & Kevin Sorbo, etc. Kevin Farley is not his brother Chris and it's not fair to try and compare this film to what the project could've been had it been helmed by Chris Farley (though honestly i have imagined). I LOVE SPOOF films...

Why did we do this to ourselves
Bad movie, not even worth the stupid humor, and I usually can get into some stupid humor!! Do not watch.

NICE TRY -- IT'S JUST NOT FUNNY ENOUGH
There has been a recent flux of found footage spoofs including this one from comedic actor Kevin Farley. Although there are some funny bits, they come too far apart to maintain the laughs. Satire IMO needs to be paced just right to be truly effective. For instance, the silly seizures of demonic possession are funny the first two times but Farley just overdoes it. Some of the cameos work well: eric Roberts, William Katt, Kevin Sorbo, Jake Busey, Robert Hays and Quintin Aranson. The Jack Goff character isn't one iota funny--just excessively crude.
I haven't seen A HAUNTED HOUSE yet but I'm hoping the Wayans Brothers do it right!
