When the unexpected happens, architect Jonathan Rivers has become a grieving widower, wallowing in deep confusion over the death of his wife. But a paranormal expert approaches Jonathan with the unlikely: the ability to hear his wife from beyond the grave. Through a form of unusual communication known as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), Jonathan will finally be able to see his wife. But in doing so, Jonathan has drawn himself into a much more complex situation when his curiosity becomes an obsession. Only that obsession will have him confront those not of this world, and some of them don't approve of Jonathan's interference with their destructive nature.
Um, ok. So, what this really means is that this guy gets told by everyone he meets that "that sounds dangerous," and by several people who are involved in EVP research, and thus would probably know something about it "don't do it alone."
Proving that he's a freakin' dumbass, he ignores the advice, even after finding one of the supposedly knowledgeable people ripped up into nasty bleeding chunks after using EVP alone. His continued meddling draws the attention of 3 evil spirits, who then use a serial killer to lure him to a place where they will be able to kick his ass.
They do, and it's one of the only good scenes in the movie. Watching this arrogant dumbass get ripped in shreds and broken all to pieces by a swirling black mist of evil is about the only enjoyable thing about this film. Although billed as a scary movie, it failed totally to induce that effect, as I spent the whole time thinking to myself "given that much advice and evidence, I would run away."
This one doesn't even merit a second rental. Baaaaaaaaad.
