CRITICAL FOCUS

perfectly unhinged

Julie, Zach, and Nevin are just trying to film the third season finale of Paranormal Properties, a ghost-hunting show where sometimes they look for monsters because not finding ghosts every episode can get a little monotonous. When they’re sent to an abandoned farmhouse in rural New York, they’re told shadow figures, strange noises, and unexplained occurrences have plagued the property. A nighttime investigation is sure to expose the truth. But as the shadows lift, the trio has to decide if the truth is worth the turmoil. Or their lives.
