A very funny film about a paranormal TV show crew who bite off more than they can chew at a former logging camp in Michigan. The crew are mostly old hands at manufacturing evidence and are skeptical to say the least. It's a pretty good story with some genuinely good moments. The main fault that keeps it from being as good as The Selling or Housebound are pacing, it takes a good awhile for the movie to get going. Some of the characters are a little clichéd, there's the "hot girl" who serves no purpose other than looks. She comes with a simp who endlessly fawns over her, blah blah blah. The real hero of the group is Jimmy who has his priorities right. The group is subected to increasingly strong paranormal attacks as the night grows darker and the entities become increasingly forceful. There is a good twist at the end, and it's pretty well worth the slow start. There's also a good bit towards the beginning where you forget you're watching a comedy movie and slip into a paranormal show, but that's also part of why it takes this movie to get to its main plot point. They probably could have eliminated the first couple establishing scenes showing "we're a real paranormal ghost hunter show" stuff.

Better than average for this genre. Highly entertaining. Not a found footage movie. This one actually has a plot. The acting is actually good, minus the female lead role who appears to be cracking up more than scared. Looks like they had a much higher budget. The background music actually gets annoying. There are a few moments where you jump a bit because they do give y an unexpected jolt, so there was a plus. Toward the end, the plot becomes a bit ridiculous and you start to think there is no way THAT possibly happened and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you try and figure it out, but nobody watches this type of movie because it is supposed to be REALISTIC and make sense. Very funny. All in all, I would recommend it, especially if you are a fan of the paranormal or a fan of mocking paranormal shows. Nice twist at the end.

AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED is a fun spoof of the whole 'paranormal TV show' genre of reality filmmaking so popular in America. It's an overworked genre and this indie is too cheap to really impress, but it's better than I was expecting regardless. The story is about a crew called in to a creepy old location by the caretaker, played by a cameoing James Karen. Karen is a fine actor of his day (check him out in POLTERGEIST and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) so it was a pleasure to see him cast here and he really is the best thing in the movie. The rest of the actors are quite unappealing and the humour isn't really all that funny, but it could be worse.
