The Quiet Ones (2014)

In spite of reviews and because of the some of the cast members, I decided to watch film anyway. In the first few seconds, I was scared...by the amount of production companies listed in the first few seconds BEFORE the title of the film. These were: Lionsgate (twice) , Hammer (twice), Traveling Picture Show (twice), Exclusive Media (once) and Midfield Films (once). It is not a bad movie, just do not expect a 5-star experience. The loud crash of jump scares towards the first half of the movie (I was wearing earbuds) necessitated a lowering of volume and activation of close captioning. The movie poster (seen on Rotten Tomatoes site) indicates that this is "inspired by actual events". Do not get too excited, the actual events were considerably less telegenic and dramatic than the movie indicates. See site: historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/quiet-ones/ The actual experiment was entitled, "The Philip Experiment" and occurred in Canada. And all those interesting photos in the end credits? They are all of actors whose dour looks no doubt relates to their original impression that they would be appearing (ie. acting) in an internationally released movie.
