Apartment 143

2011 ·1h 20m · ★ 5.2 (295)

A team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment. Telephone calls with no caller, mysterious shadows, extraordinary light emissions, flying objects, and exploding light bulbs are some of the events they will face while recording their every step with state-of-the-art technology. Using infrared filming, digital photography, psychophonic recordings, movement detectors, and magnetic field alteration meters, the group’s attempts to contact the “other side” will grow increasingly dangerous as they near a point of no return.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic tech-driven ghost hunt that blends found-footage tension with classic haunted house dread.

  • Practical and digital effects combine to create unsettling poltergeist activity without relying solely on cheap jump scares.
  • For fans of parapsychology-focused hauntings like *Grave Encounters* or *The Taking of Deborah Logan*.
  • The apartment’s confined setting amps up the atmosphere, turning everyday objects into sources of terror.
  • While the plot occasionally leans on familiar tropes, the steady escalation and use of investigative tech offer a fresh twist on paranormal POV horror.
