A group of amateur paranormal investigators, frustrated with the lack of any solid evidence after months of attempts, decide to provoke and taught spirits from the afterlife in a last ditch attempt for a paranormal encounter. The experiment works, but they have awakened something angry and very deadly - something that follows them home and now will not leave. The investigators must now defend their home, and their family, from the spirits who were brought into this world and are not going without taking some souls with them.
Reviews
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Acting was terrible. The actor playing the owner of the home maintained an odd monotone the entire film. It was so pronounced that I assumed it would eventually be explained by some event in the movie. Nope. Just bad acting. Some of the writing was so ridiculous that it would have fit in a horror movie parody.
Clearly things are bad when you have fake reviews written about this film. Truth is this film is terrible. I would nearly says watch it for some of the most hilarious bad acting ever seen, its not the fact its that bad, nut they seem to be playing it seriously. The director has obviously never filmed more than a family holiday, as the camera work is terrible, angles that are terribly framed, and then sound than changes from cut to cut. Overall, this film is a complete train wreck, watch it so long as you don't have to pay for it, cause it hilarious how wooden and bad the acting is.Put it this way, I actually for the first time ever came here after a decade of not using my account, reset my password, so I could write all of this, yea, that's how bad it is.
Do not believe the other reviews saying this movie is "good" the acting is horrible. To say the characters are "believable and strong enough" is to say that they are believably bad at acting and strong enough to continue with the movie despite how awful it is. The first half of the movie is boring with no scare factors whatsoever, but you hang in there hoping it'll get better as the movie climaxes. It doesn't, and the image of the poltergeist is completely laughable. I've seen my fair share of B films but this one is by far one of the worst ones. Not even worth a free rental, do not waste your time. If you want scary I would skip this movie.
"Provoked" is a film that I have followed from the beginning so I am thrilled to finally get to see the film completed. It follows a group of paranormal researchers following the path of their favorite TV paranormal team, M.A.P.S. On one assignment unfortunately one of the investigators brings something home that proves fatal. "Provoked" is the first feature film of Jordan Pacheco and stars Tony Moran, Christopher P. O'Reilly, Nicole Lasala, Dan Liebman, Jami Tennille, Sean Carmichael, Kati Salowsky, Camille Farnan, Michaelah Noelle Nunes, Charles Everett Tacker and Jeanne Lohnes . The story explored in "Provoked" is very tradition and doesn't stray far from paranormal lore which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it trapped the film in a "sleeper" mode for a great deal of the film. The acting and character depths in the film were believable and strong enough but the actual interactions and honest ability to connect on screen fell a bit flat at times. That being said "Provoked" does draw you into the story and offers a serious, chilling atmosphere that screams "haunting". And that "sleeper" feel of the first part of the film does more to disarm you just enough for the thrilling height of action, which throws, claws, and drags you right to the exciting, and intense climax-and man is it thrilling. This is a story that builds calmly, steadily right up until all Hell breaks loose. "Provoked" uses some pretty standard effects to bring the paranormal aspects to life in the film, they are mild for the most part and a little too expected. That doesn't really hurt the over all production of "Provoked", I merely mention it so that fans of this subgenre who may be seeking big amounts of falderal will be prepared when viewing this movie. Now the real joy for horror, and effects fans comes at the last third of this film-right along with the excitement and chills. There are some pretty creepy and thrilling moments. And I love an ending that isn't all "Hallmarky". The film is definitely worth seeing because it holds to the more mature, classic love of the genre, with a steady paranormal story, and a very modern nightmare ending. I feel "Provoked" will please any paranormal fan.
