steve-98094 It totally worked for me. I don't watch scary movies much. But what I liked was the psychological tension and the fact that we never see "it" but feel the terror. Or at least I felt terror!!! And I liked the premise with the EVP. Different. It had honest characters who made really bad choices. I was emotionally involved. I felt something, which is all I can ask of any art form.

suite92 The Three Acts: The initial tableaux: First, the film flashes back to a Soviet research facility in the Kuril Islands, 1992. The well-funded ongoing work concerned paranormal activity and EVP (electronic voice phenomena). During the economic slide of the USSR, the research was officially abandoned, but a few scientists continued research while keeping to the underground parts of the facilities. While supposedly in contact using EVP, one scientist, Victor Konski, is assailed and killed after hearing from 'Abigor.'Second, we flash forward to Los Angeles in the current day. Three couples plus Duffy discuss EVP after consuming a number of drinks at the audio studio run by Duffy and Nick. They go to the basement to listen to this and that, such as the website 'Voices in Static' which mentions Abigor and Professor Konski.Delineation of conflicts: The fools try to recreate the calls to Abigor. Soon enough they get a reply, plus more than they bargained for. Can they close up this process?Resolution: This movie is from the 'How do I close the Hellgate?' subcategory of horror. The resolution is about how well the remaining humans do at constructing a solution once they figure out a solution needs to be constructed.

David Roggenkamp Trace is a movie with an interesting premise; it follows the trend of chasing paranormal activity through electromagnetic disturbance which is well beyond the human sound range. A few friends decide to get together and test out some equipment while mid-party. Things go awry as the friends slowly die one by one. It is revealed that the EVP (recordig) that was made on the party night, has a list of people and the order in which they will die in. They start to die in that order.The rest of the movie plays out in typical fashion. It is very dull, lackluster and feels like it could have had more done with the plot. More importantly many of the death scenes do not have anything climatic happening; a few of the turn into simple suicides or murder by accident. The entire premise is that a demon has been called from the other side (Asgaroth) and is now picking off people one by one so that he can gain power and cross over into the other side. The movie reveals that it is a prank, but it turns out the demon appears anyway. His debut is computer rendered, but doesn't look too impressive and I had to say it was a bad movie throughout.This movie does not feel much like horror and I do not recommend this movie for anyone but die-hard horror fans.Review originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=10454)

namaGemo This movie is not even close to a 10/10. It's not as horrible as "Eaters", but 4 stars is about right. It had some tension, but wasn't really scary nor was there gore if that's what you're into. As to jeffstanding and his review, let's see, he joined right after this was released and what a shock, only has one review and it's for this film which he gave 10 stars and claims is the greatest film of the year. It's obviously he worked on this film in some capacity. This film is somewhat entertaining and probably more so if you actually buy into the ridiculous idea that evp's are actually paranormal, despite all factual evidence proving the opposite. It's a typical cheap horror film made with non actors for the most part on a low budget. If you know this going in and just have to see the latest at red box or Netflix, take a watch, but just don't expect to be too impressed.
