Apartment 143 (2012)

AKA: Emergo

Starring: Michael O'Keefe, Rick Guzman, Fiona Glascott, Kai Lennox
Director: Carles Torrens

Premise:
A single father suspects his apartment is haunted. He calls in paranormal experts to investigate.

My Take:
The movie is shot through the paranormal team's cameras. It gives the movie the "found footage" feel without really being in the subgenre.
I enjoyed a rather unique take on the approach of the investigating team. They ingest the entire situation and get to the secrets behind the family before coming to a conclusion as to why these events are occurring.
However, the last 15 seconds really turned me off and discredited much of every thing seen before it. And for me prevented the movie from set apart from many of its counterparts.

Rating: In the middle
