Paranormal Incident 2011

Somethings don't want to be found

The infamous Odenbrook Sanitarium closed after a mass suicide occurred within its walls. Sixty years later, six college students armed with cameras and recording equipment venture into the asylum to prove the existence of the paranormal. Thrills turn into nightmares as members of the group go missing without a sound, cell phones mysteriously vanish, corridors turn into mazes, walls appear where doors once stood, flashlights fail and something or someone begins toying with the group. Days later, when five of the six friends turn up missing, the lone survivor must go through the recovered footage in order to clear his name and find out what happened to his friends

Part of the Paranormal Investigations Collection

Paranormal investigation films revolve around themes of horror and the supernatural, featuring ghost hunters, investigators, or victims who encounter sinister afterlife entities. These films often blend reality-show elements, using video footage to validate paranormal occurrences or clear investigators' names. The genre, popularized by films like *The Blair Witch Project* (1999), pioneers the found-footage style, immersing audiences in a fictional investigative process akin to reality TV. Marketing strategies for films like *Paranormal Activity* and *The Conjuring* enhance their realism, playing on cultural paranoia and blurring the lines between documentary and fiction. This genre elicits powerful responses by creating cognitive dissonance, where viewers suspend disbelief for emotional engagement.
