Episode 50 (2011)

Oh my good what a load of rubbish. That was a couple of hours of my life I will never get back. The acting was so bad it was shocking, and I really mean it when I say the acting was shocking. I've not seen such bad acting like that in a very long time. The acting was wooden, no passion or emotion, just nothing. There were no scares, not one scene frightened me which I was so disappointed about. The plot is nothing original, it's been done before in other films which have been better. It could of been a good film if more effort had been made with the storyline, scenes and had better actors. DO NOT RENT OR BUY THIS FILM! It's not worth your money or time. I watched it for free on Amazon and I wish I hadn't. I'm amazed this even made it to cinema/DVD release it's that bad. Overall this film was badly made, badly acted and was quite frankly just boring. Beware you have been warned :)

The camera work was not bad for a movie probably made on a budget. The acting was pretty good as well to say they were mostly unknowns. I'd say the only down side was the ending which leaves you hanging. This is one of those movies you have to keep watching or you'll miss some action. The effects aren't bad at all. Good story line, not half as bad as some reviewers make out, put it this way ... I've seen a lot worse!!!!! Great locations, spooky enough to draw you into the ghost hunting atmosphere. A great movie to watch on Halloween as a taster for more scary stuff later on. There's no sex scenes, no nudity and very mild language compared to some stuff on the TV right now so as long as it's vetted first, older kids would enjoy it too.

I checked the rating before I saw this film. Since, Episode 50 had a low rating I wasn't expecting much. I figured it would be horrible, but it proved me wrong. I really enjoyed the plot of this film, but I think they could have done more with it. One thing I liked was how one group of investigators were there to prove science and the other group were paranormal believers. However, the ending was bad and it should have been approached differently. I think if the budget of the film was bigger than it could have been way better. I rated Episode 50 a 7 out of 10 because I really did like it, and expected it to be over the top and horrible. I would probably watch this film again. Don't let the rating fool you.

The premise of this movie is perfectly sound: cynical paranormal researchers get to investigate the most haunted place ever in order to prove to a dying man who has lived an evil life that there is no afterlife. However, to balance them out (and give the plot some tension), they are teamed with a rival Christian team who believes in everything. The only problem is, within 5 minutes in the asylum, the sceptics seem to believe in all supernatural events as much as their Christian rivals.As the two teams do their stuff, they are stalked and toyed with by various apparitions, leading them to an unbelievably cheesy confrontation with a demon at the end.The director gives away far too much too early, and instead of framing everything in a context whereby the phenomena are less certain to the sceptical team, he blows his load in the first quarter of the movie, leaving you without suspense, tension, or horror.The reality show idea had a lot of promise, but instead this entire movie ended up becoming nothing more than a tedious Christian tract with a tedious and blatant morality punchline.
