A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A family moves into apartment 143 and experiences activity that is just not normal. A team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate the phenomena: phones ringing with no caller, poltergeist activity and unexplained flashing lights are more than enough reason to set up state-of-the-art technology. The group attempts to contact the "other side" while their investigation is interrupted by manifestations that are succeeding in accelerating their violence.Not the best in the "found footage" genre; but there are a whole lot worse out there. The cast includes: Fiona Glascott, Kai Lennox, Gia Mantengna, Fancesc Garrido and Michael O'Keefe.

So yeah I just watched this movie and it sucked. The quality was poor, there was no real story and when he explained something about his dead- ex-wife it was at the end of the movie, in the last 25 minutes and it took forever!I felt an invader in these people's life the whole time I was watching it. They didn't explain anything, it just goes with the flow in the family, like it is normal there (as example, about his ex-wife and why his daughter basically hates him). Nobody was really impressed with the chick haunting the place and they kept all cool under every circumstance.The big laughter of this movie was the ending. Of course they leave one camera on. Of course the ghost drops a painting and of course the camera moves upwards and the ghost crawls towards the camera. It was too predictable this movie, they didn't show anything new. Sometimes i was thinking, Ow that's cool, like when the girl is floating in mid-air. But after 5 seconds it was bashed into the ground with the quality this movie was made. There was zero character development and the actors where no good.So I gave this movie a 3. Normally I love the more unknown horror movies, I can really delve into it, but this movie is a no-go for me.

The widower Alan White (Kai Lennox) invites the parapsychologists Dr. Helzer (Michael O'Keefe), Ellen Keegan (Fiona Glascott) and Paul Ortega (Rick Gonzalez) to investigate a supernatural phenomenon in his apartment in an old apartment building. Alan is an unemployed agronomist engineer that lives with his four year-old son Benny (Damian Roman) and his teenage daughter Caitlin (Gia Mantegna), who blames her father for the death of her mother Cynthia (Laura Martuscelli) in a car crash. After witnessing weird events, Dr. Helzer and his team find the cause of the activities…or not?"Emergo" is another boring and unoriginal movie that follows the "style" of "The Blair Witch Project" of making cheap movies with handy cam, no lighting and poor edition. There are a couple of scary moments but along the 80 minutes running time there are too much technical explanation for the haunted apartment by the annoying Dr. Helzer. This Spanish variation of paranormal activity is a waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Apartamento 143" ("Apartment 143")

This is another film in the tradition of "Paranormal Activity" where a widowed father with two kids hire the services of ghost hunters to document and get rid of what seemed to be a ghost who have followed them from their home to their new apartment.There are no known actors, so they have the "reality" part down, and they were not bad. This was especially true about the ghost hunters who looked very professional and actually enjoyed the paranormal events they witness. The father Alan White (Kai Lennox) was properly distressed about the ghostly presence as well as his strained family dynamics. The daughter Caitlin (Gia Mantegna) was portrayed as a rebellious teenager who did not care about showing her disdain for her dad despite the presence of visitors in their apartment. The best parts were when the lead ghost hunter Dr. Helzer (Michael O'Keefe) was able to extract from the Mr. White more secret or repressed details about his family, particularly about his late wife. The horror tricks were not bad (some images were disturbing and scary), but predictable. Mostly though, there was nothing really unexpected because the lighting and the sound effects make it known that something was going to show up. They try to issue a scientific explanation for the phenomena which was good, but it seemed that there were events shown that were not explainable by their reasoning. While the film could have ended on a (relatively) high note on its cacophonous climax, the director still added an unnecessary, annoying, very unoriginal epilogue scene.This film is sufficiently creepy and jumpy for horror movie night, but there was nothing really memorable about it afterwards.
