When Mr. and Mrs. Myers move into their highly coveted Beverly Hills home, they wonder why the price tag is too good to be true. Their daughter, Danielle, discovers the truth when a neighbor tells her one of the previous owners was murdered there years ago. When Danielle falls prey to the hauntings of the ghostly victim who lived there, Danni's dream home turns into the house from hell after she is tortured and attacked by the evil apparition. After Danielle's cries go unheard by her oblivious parents, she realizes she must get out of the house as quickly as possible or she is going to be the next victim of an even greater threat.
Reviews
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Good concept, poorly executed.
Absolutely brilliant
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In a moment of weakness I blind bought this...and kind of regretted it the whole time I watched it. It wasn't horrible, but it is definitely not one to go searching for. Maybe with a bigger budget and a better cast, this would have been pretty decent.
I had initially no expectations to this movie, given the fact that I had never heard about it prior to finding it by sheer luck, and after having read the synopsis, or because of the fact that I knew of no one in the movie.The story is about a family that purchase an acclaimed haunted house in Beverly Hills for a bargain price. Something is awry in the house, and things escalate when the young girl Danielle (played by Lulu Brud) is left home alone as her mother and step father have to go to Palm Springs. The apparition that is haunting the house becomes aggressive and dangerous.Story-wise, then "Paranormal Apparition" wasn't overly enjoyable. Perhaps it was because the effects in the movie were not that great, or because there wasn't anything scary in the entire movie.As for the acting, well it was alright, although a bit wooden and forced at times.I don't really get the movie title, isn't it kind of redundant? I mean, an apparition in itself is part of the paranormal realm, so why add the word 'paranormal' to the title?The movie failed to keep my attention to the screen, and I soon found myself sitting with my phone in hand and browsing through stuff on the phone, rather than paying attention to the screen. And I must admit that I gave up before reaching the end of the movie. It just wasn't appealing or interesting enough.Overall, then "Paranormal Apparition" is not a particularly impressive movie. And if you enjoy horror movies or ghost movies, then your time is perhaps better spent elsewhere watching a different movie.
