Investigating the Afterlife

Realistic and SCARY!
If you're interested in ghosts or the paranormal, this flick is a serious treat!

We've all watched ghost hunting "reality" shows on TV, and going into this documentary, I was wondering what could they possibly show I haven't seen. Well, as it turns out, PLENTY.

Most ghost hunting programs - and films, for that matter - are so determined to frighten that they spend alot of time flash-cutting, trumping up fakey "results", and building heavy, overbearing "spooky" sound design. By contrast, INVESTIGATING THE AFTERLIFE shows what the experience of ghost hunting is really like - the patience required, the psychology, and ultimately, the terror. Instead of "trying" so hard to be scary, INVESTIGATING THE AFTERLIFE actually is. The process of paranormal investigation is played out, and as a result is WAY more intense and gripping than the editorially manufactured stuff you've seen on TV.

Amateur ghost-hunter Shane Free dares to do something so many of us...

Ghost Hunters wannabe
Not much happens on this DVD. If you've watched Ghost Hunters, you know the drill. While Shane and his friends had some "personal experiences," they aren't terribly convincing to anyone not experiencing them - that is, the viewers.

The production values are good, and the cost of the DVD is pretty low. But at 66 minutes, it still seems overpriced. Especially since those 66 minutes are pretty dull.

I actually suggest it!
This was probably the best amateur ghost investigation documentary I've seen. The footage and sound is clear. The evidence is presented very matter of fact without embellishment. I am very impressed by this. I suggest it highly to anyone that is interested in ghost investigation.
