An architect's desire to speak with his wife from beyond the grave using EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), becomes an obsession with supernatural repercussions.

Why it matters

A supernatural thriller that taps into the eerie allure of EVP but gets lost in its own static.

  • Kevin Bacon anchors the film with a grounded performance amid a fog of underwhelming scares.
  • Explores the early-2000s obsession with electronic ghost hunting, a subgenre niche now ripe for rediscovery.
  • Practical effects take a backseat to digital noise and atmosphere that often feels more tedious than terrifying.
  • Best suited for viewers curious about how paranormal tech horror evolved, rather than those seeking sustained chills.
