Apparition of Evil Trailers

Chilling paranormal portmanteau following a researcher who stumbles across a collection of disturbing video evidence she has obtained from a mysterious source including a location recce made by two young filmmakers, Cain and Dion, who venture to the Australian outback in search of an interesting location for their next movie only to discover an ancient swamp spirit called Raluul, and a video diary of a man called Karl Hendry who starts hearing unusual noises once he finds a mysterious doll-house in the attic of his new house in the North of England.

Reviews
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Platypuschow Here we have yet another independent found footage horror anthology where the most professional looking thing is the movies cover art.3 stories plus wraparound we see, very little. But that is to be expected due to the sub-genre and the budget which is reportedly around the £1000 mark.It contains a moderate scare and one fairly good idea, the rest is your usual generic trope filled nonsense. Two of the stories are very very short whereas the third and undoubtedly worst takes up over 2/3 of the film. And then you have the wrap around which has no purpose, no point and simply doesn't bring anything to the movie at all.Truth be told I am so very tired of seeing these carbon copy films, if you filmmakers want to get yourselves out there then this is not the way to do it. Wrong sub-genre and recycling hundreds of previous movies isn't doing you any favours.The Good:Has a single decent idea mixed in thereThe Bad:All the usual found footage tropesLast story is so damn boringWeird sound editingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Some filmmakers must secretly not want to get anywhere in their careers
Michael Ledo Emily (Kate Marie Davies) pays for a thumb drive that contains 3 hand-held shorts of paranormal activity. The first one is shot in the outback as two guys are out in some brush and hear growling. It contains the blurry running cam and a lot of WTF to add realism. The second one is a mother and son team go ghost hunter in a Rochester, NY cemetery. It has the dreaded green cam. The third and longest feature is shot in black and white. A man moves from Manchester to Chester into a house with a haunted attic. Apparently a witch lived there. After watching the first two, Emily reflects on what the audience feels, "Wasting my Time." Emily lives in Chester.The films were all shot poorly even for fans of the genre. The stories were intensely boring. The opening credits gave me a headache.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Plug for "Sloppy the Psychotic."
Leofwine_draca APPARITION OF EVIL is an indie horror anthology that consists of a trio of stories, each from a different country. None of them are very good, which is little surprise given the constraints of the genre. The first story is a found footage effort set in the Outback, and a badly acted bore. The second is American, a ghost hunting story set in a moonlit graveyard; it's very dull too. The final story is British and the most interesting, although still below par. It's a haunted house yarn with little effort having gone into it. My advice is to skip this movie.
