Oh my good what a load of rubbish. That was a couple of hours of my life I will never get back. The acting was so bad it was shocking, and I really mean it when I say the acting was shocking. I've not seen such bad acting like that in a very long time. The acting was wooden, no passion or emotion, just nothing. There were no scares, not one scene frightened me which I was so disappointed about. The plot is nothing original, it's been done before in other films which have been better. It could of been a good film if more effort had been made with the storyline, scenes and had better actors. DO NOT RENT OR BUY THIS FILM! It's not worth your money or time. I watched it for free on Amazon and I wish I hadn't. I'm amazed this even made it to cinema/DVD release it's that bad. Overall this film was badly made, badly acted and was quite frankly just boring. Beware you have been warned :)

I checked the rating before I saw this film. Since, Episode 50 had a low rating I wasn't expecting much. I figured it would be horrible, but it proved me wrong. I really enjoyed the plot of this film, but I think they could have done more with it. One thing I liked was how one group of investigators were there to prove science and the other group were paranormal believers. However, the ending was bad and it should have been approached differently. I think if the budget of the film was bigger than it could have been way better. I rated Episode 50 a 7 out of 10 because I really did like it, and expected it to be over the top and horrible. I would probably watch this film again. Don't let the rating fool you.

Oh my good Lord in heaven. What the hell did I just watch. I thought when I bought this on Ebay for 99Cents that I was getting a good deal. Ooh boy how wrong I was, this film doesn't deserve to occupy one second of someone's left , let alone 81 minutes. How can rubbish like this make it too DVD. The acting is atrocious and completely amateur. I felt like I was watching a grade 8 stage play. Yes and now for the pathetic ghosts and seemed like people in costumes darting around here and there. Shame on you film makers trying to cash in on this enervated horror sub genre. God and I thought V/H/S was awful, well its academy awards material compared to this dreck. Anyone that wants to see a good found footage film seek out aussi's The Tunnel, Evil things or even paranormal entity. Now those are spooky films.

The premise of this movie is perfectly sound: cynical paranormal researchers get to investigate the most haunted place ever in order to prove to a dying man who has lived an evil life that there is no afterlife. However, to balance them out (and give the plot some tension), they are teamed with a rival Christian team who believes in everything. The only problem is, within 5 minutes in the asylum, the sceptics seem to believe in all supernatural events as much as their Christian rivals.As the two teams do their stuff, they are stalked and toyed with by various apparitions, leading them to an unbelievably cheesy confrontation with a demon at the end.The director gives away far too much too early, and instead of framing everything in a context whereby the phenomena are less certain to the sceptical team, he blows his load in the first quarter of the movie, leaving you without suspense, tension, or horror.The reality show idea had a lot of promise, but instead this entire movie ended up becoming nothing more than a tedious Christian tract with a tedious and blatant morality punchline.
