Paranormal Prison

Did not enjoy it at all, kind of mad I actually sat through and watched the whole movie. Felt like it was making fun of a horror movie more than being a horror movie.

Most low-budget found-footage movies based on the paranormal investigation theme seem to be horrible. This one is better than many, but it's still not great. The acting isn't bad and the overall story is okay. I do like the concept of a haunted prison.

A group of unsuccessful psychic YouTubers go to a prison to film for the survival of their channel! A group of YouTubers do something like the TV shows that used to be common to pursue the mysteries of psychic phenomena. It's terrible that they put in stylish direction even though it's POV. The equipment was too serious for an unsuccessful YouTuber, and I felt uncomfortable. It was really boring, and the only praise I can give is that the actress was beautiful.

I wasn't expecting a lot from this film, but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I'm not always found of found footage films, especially when the "footage quality" is kind of bad, and has shaky cam going on, and this film was guilty of some of that. But it also mixed the footage part mixed with more traditional filming, and I liked the mix. The set up of them trying to make a viral video for YouTube is a good set up for that, and it's a great way to have the characters explain more about the myths/lore behind the prison. There's a part in the middle that has some pacing issues too. But it has some nice touches as well, and the twist at the end was nice. The twist is one I have seen a few times in horror, but it was a nice one to end with.

Good idea for a movie. There was nothing scary about this movie. It remind me of when I was a child and played scary games with friends in abandon hospital. Acting was very bad.

Well......I am a massive fan of found footage/cam corder movies but this was a really terrible attempt at a scary paranormal movie. There was no atmosphere no tension n no suspense whatsoever. It was diabolical. The acting was atrocious n over the top. The ending was completely predictable n silly. I am afraid that I can not recommend this film n ruin my reputation as a movie buff n also waste 71mins of your time.

It's the typical hand-held camera investigation theme. If they stuck to just the camera recording scenes it might not have been a waste of time. But every so often they had to throw in some heartfelt sob story about their past and the acting was REALLY bad. I mean stage drama, Shatner as Capt. Kirk, overacting, bad.

The writing, the cast, the effects! Not everyone comes to a project with a fat budget, but there have been blockbuster flicks with less heart. If you're here for gaudy VFX, I love those as much as the next nerd so no judgement! However, they did what they did not just efficiently, but with style & a good eye behind every scare. The acting is sincere, and any scenery chewed is quickly followed up with swift & self-aware redirection (works every time!) Just don't hate. These folks knocked it out of the park. 👏 (also I love a good after credit scene, keep an eye out)

No wonder that the 2021 horror movie "Paranormal Prison" snuck in under the radar. This movie was pretty bad. When I sit down to watch a movie, I don't like throwing money, time or effort after a movie with the presentation of something that I could have made myself with my own digital video camera - heck, even with a mobile phone camera. And "Paranormal Prison" is exactly that, one such amateurish-feel movie. I loathe movies that feel like you are supposed to be right there with the cast, given the dubious and shoddy camera that is all over the place. And of course, any movie with the word "Paranormal" in the title is just bound to be bad. So far I haven't seen a single movie with that word in its title that provided me with proper entertainment. So no, I am not a fan of the dubious "Paranormal Activity" franchise either. The storyline told in "Paranormal Prison" definitely had some appeal to it and some interesting aspects. But it was just brutally slaughtered by the 'found footage' type of movie that director Brian Jagger opted for. Had it been filmed and presented as a proper movie, then writers Brian Jagger and Randall Reese definitely were on the right track with the storyline here. The acting in the movie was adequate enough, taking into consideration the rubbish movie that they were in. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, which is something that I like in movies. But it just hardly mattered in "Paranormal Prison", as the movie was ruined by the camera work. However, I can't really claim that the character gallery in the movie was particularly outstanding or memorable. "Paranormal Prison" came and went without as much as a shudder, much less leaving a lasting impression. I managed to suffer through it to the end, and believe me, this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on. My rating of the 2021 horror movie "Paranormal Prison" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
