Day one
The movie resumes. Kendall and Vera appear in the opening of the movie driving a car and talking about the newly bought house by the family where they were heading at. While Vera films Kendal, he talks about the conjuring house.
Rachel who is a paranormal investigator along with Brian also appears as they drive to the conjuring house location. All four were excited to visit the house.
After they reached the house the new owner (Jennifer and Cory) welcomes both of the paranormal investigators inside.
During the first introduction, they take an interview of Jennifer Heinzen and Cory Heinzen talking about why they bought the house and the reason behind their motive.
When asked: ‘Have you ever been scared?’
Vera: I’ve been scared before ya.
After a while, Rachael and Brian arrive at the location too. After getting to know each other, the owner shows the team an interesting room known as ‘the birthing room’.
They were given two separate rooms to sleep in. Brian (owner of the house) also shows them the most actively haunted room of the house and talks about the family who were tormented in that same house before, which can be seen in the Movie conjuring.
The team settles down that night.
Brian: To me, It feels eerie, because we don’t know what we are walking into, we only know what we have heard and saying.
Vera: I am very nervous, I am not gonna lie
Kendal: For all of us, we know, just document the hell out of this place. We, Will, get every camera we can have, I mean they have cameras, we have cameras.
Later they go exploring the house the same night finding a piece of paper with weird stuff written on it. They were spells.
Rachel: It’s just like the cabin in the woods.
While they were exploring the house they found lots of creepy stuff but the team was cheering and goofing around. Soon they find the attic where they hear someone running inside the basement. The team was tensed and excited to witness a paranormal account on the first day itself.
They find snake scales all around the basement, an old furnace. They found the spot where the kid from the movie used to talk to in the movie conjuring. They also find a room under the basement that was cold as a refrigerator.
“Hey guys let’s get the camera setup”
After exploring the house for a moment the team goes upstairs to set their cameras and document everything in the house.
“We have 4k cameras with sat, we can see and hear everything that’s happening in each room”
After they finished setting up the camera, Antony Cross comes to the house too. (Paranormal Enthusiast)
After all the team was settled down they took a brief interview of the couple.
“We got the keys on June 21st of 2019 and we moved in around One’O clock and we had doors open and up at One fifteen”
The owner gives a brief account of all the hauntings that occurred before the team’s visit.
‘We didn’t know what was here’
Rachel: ‘what else happened?’
‘It was within the first week, the objects in the house was moving, which was exiting’
‘We have been warned several times, something bad is still here’
The team asks the couple for advice for they are staying in the house for a week. After a brief interview, they continue their investigation.
The first haunting can be seen in the living room where they were having the interview. hat night they heard sounds but nothing significant happened.
Next morning / Day Two
The next morning all of them were talking about their nights’ experience. Earlier that night, someone bumps on Rachels’s bed.
Following that night they decided to use the music box that works like a motion detector and place it on the spot next to Rachels bed and the box kept ringing. Later they decided to go for the basement investigation. They find the well in the basement and puts the voice recorder inside it. Kendal enters the well and he takes his EVPS inside the well and asks questions.
Kendal: Are you inside this well, is there anybody in here with us?
While he was asking his torch gives up making the spot dark. Kandal comes out of the well later after recording for some time. After some time the team decides to send an emf alone, this time under the water. They covered it with a plastic bag and leaves it there covering the opening.
Later, they play the videos recorded from the last night to check on who made the noises. They were baffled to find a mist type of phenomenon in one of the footage.
Later that night the music box they had kept next to Rachels’s bed plays on its own.
The owner of the house tells them about a location where they have not stepped yet, it is closed with four screws. They think it could be the attic.
Together with the team they finally unscrew the covering and climbs inside. They climb inside and takes footage and documents it. They leave the attic uncovered with a motion detector to see what happens. They also place a camera next to the motion detector to record.
Kendal was on a check that night attending all the spots of the house with his camera and torch. After checking on the basement while Kendal was talking to Vera they both hear a huge thump noise coming from the basement.
10th day
On the tenth day, Veera had a nightmare where she saw a woman hitting the backdoor and screaming. The story unfolds when the owner tells the team that the property manager had a spirit box that led him to a cemetery that they didn’t know about.
They soon find that there’s a Cemetery in the back area of the house. The cemetery is from the 1600s during the King Philip war happened. They explore the area and decides to check on the location later.
That same night they heard footsteps coming from the kitchen area. Their electronics were malfunctioning and the heating system was showing 66.66 in the interface too.
They soon decide to have a spirit box investigation session. During the session, they hear sounds from the kitchen. They capture the whole event on camera.
The Backyard investigation.
Next, they decide to investigate the backyard and started filming the house from outside. During the investigation, they saw lights in the trees which is documented too. They go on searching for the lights that appeared on the screen and ended up in the cemetery. In the cemetery, they witnessed direct contact with paranormal beings who imitated them by making the same noise they were making to document it first hand.
The Barn Investigation.
They investigate the barn too placing electron-multiplying cameras inside.
After the backyard investigation, they switch all the lights of the house and used a night vision camera. That night the motion detector starts ringing and after documenting all the series of events they leave the next day.
‘Whatever is here, stays here
3 weeks later
They start experiencing the same things that happened in the Haunted house. Nightmares, shadows, and voices.
Review
The movie was meant to be a documentary, but when you watch it, it doesn’t look like one and this turns out to be the biggest turnoff for movie lovers who were expecting to see some honest and scientific experiments in the famous haunted house. The team of investigators thou had fancy electronics and gadgets to study the house, they were using music boxes and spirit boxes.
Did you spend your money to watch it? Me: definitely no.
Let us assume that they did the false claim just to gain popularity, just like Antrum did about the marketing strategy, but team Sleepless Unrest failed big time.
We expected a more detailed depth of what the house was all about. The history of the house and the new owners and their in-depth experience based on scientific evidence.
1: The movie gave us a false first impression.
2: The movie is not a documentary at all.
3: The movie skips important issues and rushes to the end score.
It looks like a movie from the found footage genre scattered with an unkept storyline and crappy science experiments. The paranormal investigators are more interested in having a conversation with the demons/ entities/ whatever lurks around the house.
Bringing the King Phillip war from the 1600s the story writer tried to elevate the seriousness but diverted the story completely that leads us to a cemetery.
Let us for a moment assume the movie was not a documentary but a horror movie. Even if it was a horror movie the team simply kills the plot leaving us with nothing but just bunch of footage.
The whole movie is driven by SFX and Inaudible noises. Could have been better. With a strong and supporting background story of such a famously haunted house, team Sleepless Unrest could have made something better.
