Given the synopsis I thought this movie would be more about a girl who thinks she's haunted but then finds out she's the ghost doing the haunting and tries to save the living girl from the person who killed her.

Instead its more of a ghost groundhog day, inter dimensional story which ends up being really dull.

"The Apparition" (2012)
-Ashley Greene
Plot:
A young ccouple is haunted by a supernatural presence unleashed during a college experiment


Phantoms Review: This film commits the cardinal sin of horror films. ...it isn't scary. Not in the least, the film tries to be an old fashioned ghost story loaded with atmosphere, but there is absolutely no pay off. It's a really dull film. The only thing going for it is leading lady Ashley Greene, who is very hot, outside of that don't waste your time.

I don't know why i bother with home invasion movies, they're all the same and are never scary. This one is no different. The cold opening was dull, the characters are annoying and unlikable and the acting is terrible. The villains are totally unforgettable. You can't just slap a mask on someone and think that makes them a good bad guy.

It gets a little better when the main character goes all John Mclane on the bad guys but it's ruined by the lame ending.

Overall, it was interesting but not worth the hype it got. Basically mediocre.

Ditto, found it pretty mediocre too. I thought the twist would be she used to work for that gang once...anyway, I don't mind home invasion flicks but yeah...when see films like Purge & this gets rave reviews it just becomes quite frustrating. Here are few recent but better home invasion flicks that you can check out...
1. Sleep Tight [2011] (not totally a Home invasion flick, more of psycho-thriller from Spain. Loved it!),
2. Kidnapped [2010] (A Spanish one & I liked it)
3. In Their Skin (2012)
4. In Their Sleep [2010] (A French Home invasion film...it was kinda creepy & atmospheric at the beginning but the ending was a disappointment)

Creepshow 3 (2006) Abysmal. Avoid.

Not a fan of home invasion horror.

The Dark Hours is the only one i really liked, all thanks to the twist in the end.

Well there is always the originator of the genre, Desperate Hours and must be seen Fight for your Life :-)

I just finished watching High Tension. I didn't know a lot about it going in so the ending did take me by surprise. Some amazing kills in this one, and some very gripping moments. I like the saturated look of the movie and the score too. Pretty brutal film. If I hadn't seen some of the other French extremity films I would probably have been more traumatized, but after Interiors, Martyrs, and Frontiers, High Tension was all that bad. However, by any other standards than French horror, this movie is fucking brutal.
