Writing? Acting? Directing?
dolfanatic31422 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This was pathetic. Your Frankenstein janitor was just stupid. A dead person would know he was behind it all.

If you want actors to cry make sure they know how to. Sorry Raven you were just bad. I hope this was your first time in front of the camera. But Raven it was not your fault the director and writers are to blame.

Writers an effing Thunderstorm out of no where? Why? Why do directors and editors not know that thunder and lightning are separate 90% of the time. The storm was tired writing.

Frankenstein's room nobody who watched this could have been fooled by his instance to not go in there.

By the way the door leading out there was an L handle. The L handle allows people to open the locked DOOR without unlocking it!

I did like the doll and the stacking both have been in movies before but well done. Make sure when entering a room have the dolls head turn and follow the people. Have on or two see it scream then put the dolls head back as when they walked in. I liked the dousing rods but you did nothing with them, why? The should have followed them. Possibly to the janitors door but then directly away from it. Also I do not know the last girl but the rods pointing at her would have been useful as well.

Why the two names for the film? Click bait sucks. You want us to believe in a film then pick a name. Do not change because Ouija movies were big at the time.

Back to the dousing rods and Frankenstein's room. Take out much of the exposition by the janitor. He was on screen for far to long and blew the story. Have the kids have a couple jump scares. Have the EMP meter go off. But the dousing rods could have led to the room. The kids go in and read the story.

Sorry to be so critical but if we do not learn from our mistakes we will continue to make them.

I should have read the real reviews before watching.
kjohn-7789123 June 2023
Just finished watching this movie, we'll most of it. It is very rare that I do not finish a film but I got to just to an hour in and decided to call it a day. I fast forwarded the film to see if I was right.

This film is bad, it started off okay and just another typical found footage film but I thought okay just get on with it, so I did, that is until it got to much.

I knew who it would be without even watching the full movie, so there are no surprises in this movie at all.

If you watch this movie be warned though, you get fed up of immature girls screaming non stop at every little thing that either makes a noise, has a shadow or isn't them or the boys they are with.

Do yourself a favour and read the real reviews first before watching this drivel.

Anything over a three star rating tells you that the people who have left high reviews have something to do with the movie.

Worst Acting Ever
mcgillivray-2354822 October 2021
This is by far the worst acting ever. The girl with the short blonde hair is one of the worst actors I have seen. I was more annoyed with her and her bad acting than I was in the movie. Couldn't even finish watching it.

There are better movies just like this one
timothygartin31 January 2019
I was disappointed with this movie. It does have more of an actual found footage feel to it based on the camerawork, but the acting is poor. I understand that most of the movie is improvised by the actors, but they do so in a very stilted and unrealistic way. The supernatural effects are also unconvincing.

The ending was easy to predict and, as a result, was unsatisfying. It wasn't terrible and I don't regret taking the time to watch it, but there are a lot of better movies in this category.

Fake Reviews and a Bad Movie
arfdawg-123 February 2020
Dumb poorly constructed found footage / grindhouse wanna be.

It's just not good.

Ignore the fake written reviews that are by friends of the bad filmmaker.

Awful
amers-184-2538929 July 2023
I didn't have much faith in this 'movie' (I use the term loosely) after the opening credits but I persisted. I should have just swiched off. This movie is awful, don't waste your time watching this. Even as a low budget film it can't be forgiven.

The acting is terrible, I've seen better pre-school productions. The use of cam-corders and shaky cam is not executed well. The film is so dark at times you can't see what's happening and there is no atmosphere or suspense at all.

It's not original in any way, the plot is predictable and the penultimate scene is laughable. It lacked direction and the typical 'we ran out of ideas' ending was obvious!

didn't need to watch
amymay-6991617 October 2023
Only needed six minutes of this stinker to know it was going to be crap. Janitor repeats himself INCESSANTLY , AND he's cleaning in the dark,so you know you aren't in for oscar award winning levels of cinemetography,because they already dropped the ball twice in in SIX MINUTES!! The heroines were idiots, because who tells a story about a BROTHEL and was THERE TO WITNESS IT?!?! Nothing about the movie suggested it was set in nevada (land of legal prostitution) so a BROTHEL would have been a loooooooonnngg time ago! Anyway, i bailed early on this turd sandwich....if you value your sanity,i suggest you do the same.

Spirits by Todd Sheets review
Onfirejohn-977-30630017 April 2014
Spirits will throw you off just like it did for the unscripted actors. No one knew the plan or the path this movie would take because it is completely unscripted and unexpected. Everything you see in this full length feature film is just as terrifying for the actors as it is for the audience. Yes, the actors had a general idea of what their role was but they never knew what was going to scare them to death and this is where director producer Todd Sheets' genius and background in large scale haunted house development comes into play. Says DIY News, "It was like running through a haunted house. It lulls you into a feeling of safety then jumps out and Kills you!"

I like honesty and transparency so here ya go Not horrible at all.
donaldwaynestephens30 June 2023
Before y'all wonder why 7/10 I liked the way they went about this movie but I would like to see more. I would have given a 4 or 5 if it was done by a big time production team so... as I said I like honesty.

I feel that this film may actually be more genuine then most found footage as it seems they truly had no clue when something(someone) was going to be there. So I think the kids did fairly well will their improv yet if my friends disappear I am not gonna set wonder what happened I be sure I go looking. For them before some deranged killer ends them just saying people. And let's scream really loud a lot sorry got to tear ya down as I lift ya up a little people. Y'all can do better and I would like for y'all to try maybe add a lil more ghostly vibes to it and find a truly haunted location to shoot and do some research on the place and actually do a true found footage type haunted location and I think y'all will have a real good horror movie oh and ladies don't scream at every lil thing. Bit all and all not bad I would watch it again the lady in white was a great touch by way my favorite ghost for sure and the janitor well he could have don't better and y'all should have done some stuff to amp the spirits up some communicated or something EVP work just tying to give ya some pointers and my review of this.

Found Footage that really freaked me out
movieswithpaul16 March 2017
Disclosure: I am not a fan of this genre of horror movie. I was burned out on it before it even started. But as a fan of the director and production studio I gave it a shot. I was actually kind of impressed. The teen actors did a bang job on this and it sucked me right in. After watching it twice, I noticed even more clues and things happening all through the film. It wasn't perfect, but it was well done and very creepy at times. It raised the hair on my arms a few times and even put a chill down my back once. Good job and recommended.
