The Apparition Reviews
Atrociously Bad. Terrible Music, Horrifcally bad editing, cinematography, and acting. The acting...good god watching Greene in this makes me think maybe I was too harsh on J Law in Apocalypse & Dark Phoenix for not trying. Stan also is just showing no emotion at all, never cares, never acts like how a normal person would, and no chemistry at all with Greene. They have no character to them at all and the dude from Harry Potter in this is just the plot expose tool until he dies. This is the defintion of stuff just happens. There is like...idk half a story here maybe. It's told so beyond poorly with terrible direction that you wonder how the heck did Warner give this a theatrical release. There is literally zero concept of pacing in this film. It NEVER scares you once, doesn't make sense, and fails at doing what a horror flick should. There is not one redeeming quality to this thing. You could cut probably 75% of this film and nothing is lost. This is a 10 minute short stretched out to 70 minutes + 10 credits. Skip This.
It’s 2025 and this movie is still the worst movie I’ve ever layed eyes on. I haven’t watched it again and stands as the first film I ever walked out of in theaters and tried watching again at home, I remember something about the walls. It’s such a terrible story that I’ve never felt so much hate for a film after watching of confusion, anger and just overall disgusted with myself for putting myself through this apparition of a movie because an ex wanted to watch it so bad, Second was the wicker man but I rather watch that then this, That’s how truly god awful this is. I hope in the future yall find this long lost random review of the worst film ever made. I rather watch blood and honey ten times then 10 minutes of this, Forget saving money save your time, go outside and eat and ice cube in the cold, trust me you’ll have a better time than this atrocity
oke niet zo overdreven maar zo slecht vond ik hem nu ook niet hebt veel slechtere films gezien dan deze hier maar ja
It's not bad, it's just forgettable.
Did enjoy the performances and the twist, but as a Mexican, seeing all those Pacifico beer boxes in the garage, and them drinking Corona (AKA piss water) was a bit offensive! JK LMAO!
I get it, it's a short movie. There's not much time to establish characters etc. but when it's sexist and stereotypical AF...it's just lame. The female lead takes her clothes off and stands around praising her boyfriend for doing things like installing security cameras. The dog died, no explanation and no follow up as the owner walks past the couple. Lazy storytelling, and relies on cliched rubbish and (no offence) really small boobs constantly being on show. I guess the 17mil budget must have been spent on Tom Felton's (harry Potter dude) paycheck and not unimportant stuff like...a script, decent dialogue or plot.
It was as bad as they say, I couldn't finish it, and not even Ashley Greene's hotness or Tom Felton being there can save it.
I think this movie isn't getting the appreciation it needs. I'm a big fan of horror and this movie made me cry of laughter. Usually it upsets me to see a dog dying in a movie, well, not this time. That scene had me gasping for air, i couldn't stop laughing. This movie was the most flippant i have ever seen. 10/10 comedy, though! Going to watch it again.
Pretty weak sauce. A by-the-numbers ghost flick that fails to deliver any real scares and lacks any kind of logic in the storytelling. Seriously, the "science" presented is ridiculous.
Okay, so now fair warning, this is a minor-spoiler, but, I really wouldn't worry about that seeing as I'm going to preface it by recommending you don't watch The Apparition. In the 3rd act, there are some pretty cool scenes were things like ends up spliced through walls and such. Those parts were actually semi-cool. Everything else about The Apparition is a big, stupid, boring mess.
37% I have no idea what i just watched... but damn Greene looked good! Acting 7 Effects 6 Story 2 Twist/Shock 1 Tone 5 Pacing 5 Action 2 Dialogue 6 Design 8 Score(music) 5 Rewatch 0 In Theaters 0 This is the lowest score I've given a movie.
Not a bad movie, but it doesn't offer anything really new. I loved the concept and idea for the movie but the execution was average at best. I still liked it besides the cheesy scenes thrown in.
The worst horror movie I've ever seen. It is almost like they wanted the characters to die! Outrageous!
The mood and atmosphere work well, but it's lacking in interest value. The setting borrows from movies such as Poltergeist and ET, with the new neighbourhoods being built in the California desert giving it a slightly creepier lonely feel.
A film so bad it makes medicine sick. If the actors received a wage for this carbuncle of a moving picture they should return it, hang their heads in shame and consider a pious life secreted in a convent or monastery away from public view. A special skill of the apparition was its ability to remove and refit the front number plate to the VW Golf which is seen most frequently during this glorious technicolour turd-fest.
