The Apparition

During a séance a spirit is set free into our world and it proceeds to haunt people. The haunting manifests in - at first - a fungus spreading in a nice condo, a neighbor's dog dying, claw marks in a closet and - ghasp! - open doors.

Now, this undefined spirit was set free in the second of two botched séances and the couple haunted were not in that session at all. The guy was in session 1, which went all wrong, as well. The consequence of it was that his then girlfriend disappeared into the wall (literally). Why the spirit-thingy would come and haunt the later uninvolved guy and the totally uninvolved now girlfriend is never explained.

Why the séances were held in the first place goes unexplained, as well. And why the hell there would be a second session is beyond any horror film afficionado's understanding, I believe. The group holding séance number two even thought that they could trap the spirit. Right.

Anyway, an old friend (and from all appearances the initiater of this whole ghost calling venture) comes to the rescue of the frightened couple, bringing all kinds of fancy equipment with him (lacking, apparently, a decent hand held camera or merely a run-of-the-mill phone with camera function). They want to send the spirit back where it belongs by playing a recording of the session backwards. Ta-da!

Anyone suprised that this does not work? Yeah, me neither.

What a load of crap.
