Apartment 143
A team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment. Telephone calls with no caller, mysterious shadows, extraordinary light emissions, flying objects, and exploding light bulbs are some of the events they will face while recording their every step with state-of-the-art technology. Using infrared filming, digital photography, psychophonic recordings, movement detectors, and magnetic field alteration meters, the group’s attempts to contact the “other side” will grow increasingly dangerous as they near a point of no return.

Great Film overall
Admirable film.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This film has got to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's a predictable film, but what makes it so much more worse is the dodgy camera angle! The film's angle is extremely dodgy and the quality is not clear at all. So that combined with a bad plot is a recipe for disaster...The film isn't interesting in the slightest. In fact the only interesting scene was the last one whereby the main character explained the whole film and what actually happened. I feel in an attempt to make the audience understand what was going on throughout the film, the camera crew and co explained small stuff to the child in the film... In doing so the audience understood what all the equipment was for.There is really nothing else to say about this film. It was an extremely boring film. Nothing about this film was scary nor jumpy, it's simply random generic events. You want to know what the cause of all this is and that's why you watch till the end.The ending of the film makes no sense what so ever! But by this time the whole film is already a let down, that you expect the ending to be a let down.The whole film is low budget and it's extremely obvious. There is nothing wrong with a film being low budget, but in this film the plot didn't make up for it. There are so many plot holes in this film...Overall, I definitely would not recommend this film.Spoilers ahead: 1. Okay, so Caitlin has schizophrenia... How does that explain the picture turning upside down and the teapot moving? 2. How was Caitlin in the air towards the end? 3. Why didn't the doctor tell Alan he knew he was lying about how his wife died? 4. Who was the girl at the end?
Apartment 143 is surprisingly bad, I was really quite disappointed with it. From the trailer, the cast and the plot I figured that it would be quite a good film but it really isn't. The story is really Grave Encounters meets August: Osage County with half the picture weaving a spooky story of ghouls and paranormal activity, whilst the other half literally involves nothing but the counselling of a seriously uncharismatic family. As is usually the way, the troubled father is just boring, the angsty teen seems spoilt and the ghost hunters are background props with absolutely no development of character whatsoever. The little kid is cute though. The amount of clichés are gargantuan with the film including slamming doors, a deceased mother, a child communicating with the spirits, possession, electrical interference and surveillance footage. Of course these are in fact timeless conventions of the supernatural genre, however unfortunately in Apartment 143, they just seem so tried and tested it makes the whole film hysterically boring. Not recommended. 3/10
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.
This movie was just an hour and 20 minutes long but it still dragged and felt more like a 3 hour film. It could've definitely been edited down to about 45 minutes but then I guess it wouldn't have been considered a movie.I never saw Paranormal Activity but from what I read, this film was a lot like that. The problem with these types of movies that are shot through security cameras and camcorders is that they leave you feeling disengaged. It's hard to get into a movie when you feel like you're watching it through a peephole. But this movie was just plain dull and the found footage style of filmmaking only made it worse. The cast was fine except for that guy in the suit. What made this film slightly interesting was that it was hinting at the cause of the disturbances in the apartment to a secret held by one of the family members. At first the secret went in one direction but, in the end, the secret was revealed to be something else. Had the secret been what the film had first alluded to, this film would've been a whole lot more interesting. But in the end, it's just a waste of your time.
