The SPRS (or Supernatural Phenomena Research Society)
travels the country solving paranormal cases involving all manner of
haunting. In the film Evidence of a Haunting (2010) the SPRS
team has met its match in the tunnels of a community college rumored to be a
gateway to hell. This is a place where
they will face their biggest challenge.
There are many unique ideas to be had in this film such as
the most profound being that their team is made up of priest and a spiritualist
and they battle the paranormal during the “hour of the dead” (between 3a.m. and
4a.m.), which is the time in which most paranormal activity is at its
peak. The SPRS is always on the clock and
you can tell this since the film takes the team through three different
investigations. Written and directed by
Joey Evans the film is not horrible as it does have its entertaining moments
despite a mediocre cast. The film suffers mostly from an inexperienced
cast who are flat for most of the film but Evans avoids the mistake of most
other films of this type which is the MTV style editing with a multitude of
different perspectives from a huge cast of characters. You follow the core members of the SPRS team
and you stick with them even during the their off time.
Because of the plethora of other similarly themed films this
film will undoubtedly be overlooked and there is very little to recommend it over
its brethren but it does make up for its shortcomings by being entertaining
when all else fails.
