I like this. There's a certain roughness and dichotomy between its elements which creates this low-budget charm.
I like the jumping-around narrative, and the chemistry between the characters.
I get it: this is very much like those ghost-hunter serieses on History Channel and such. Perfect! Also, a somewhat coherent narrative plus any effect is better than 1 hour footage of empty corridors in those shows.
They also used the Psychic Girl well. She used her powers in useful ways, which felt natural to the universe.
On the sidenote, the filter for the Old Lady Interviews gave me an Amytiville-vibe.
I also don't have problem with pacinig. They spend pretty equal time on a traditional strucure: establishing the threat, expanding on what the threat is, finaly fighting the threat. And they do a pretty good job showing instead of telling, what is the most common problem with low budget projects.
My only complaint is kinda nitpicky, and it is the Greek Fire. Kinda strange they didn't use the actual substance, but went for some kinda ritual, which wasn't even greek but judeo-christian (in name only at least).
I'd've also consider cutting any footage with the crew after the explosion for an even stronger ending.
