PARANORMAL XPERIENCE is a low budget Spanish horror flick with a storyline that'll be familiar from hundreds of similar films: a group of university students travel to a remote mining facility which is supposedly haunted by the ghost of a disturbed doctor. Their job? To prove one way or another the existence of the supernatural. You can guess what happens next.Sure, the film doesn't have much money behind it, and the overall storyline is rather weak, but there's much to recommend it besides all that. The opening sequence, a psychological experiment carried out by a dodgy professor, is particularly gripping and the best part of the film. The script is more literate than you'd expect, adding a neat psychological angle to the more standard murder plot, and the use of flashbacks is well done and holds the viewer's attention.Horror fans are treated to some brief but grisly gore sequences and the film was also shot in 3D; I only watched the 2D version but with the amount of stuff popping out of the screen it looks to me like the 3D is pretty effective. The cast initially appear to have been picked for their looks as both male and female actors are equally attractive, but it turns out they have talent too; Amaia Salamanca and Alba Ribas particularly stand out. Watch out for genre icon Manuel de Blas (HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE) who bags a great role late on in his career.

Found out about this film when flicking through a Horror Magazine in Hmv. It looked like a great film with an awesome front cover! But I wasn't holding my breath with this one, as on previous occasions when I've bought DVDs, the covers were a lot better than the actual content themselves! This one was surprisingly great! I like how the combination of a supernatural & slasher genre comes together! Not much of them come by unfortunately or are even half as good!The film basically is about this group of student who investigate an abandoned slat mine village & stumble across an abandoned asylum! It is them the spirit of the evil doctors comes to life & starts to off the students one by one!The deaths in this film were decent! The part when Carlos get strapped to the torture bed with bard wire wrapped around him like a rack! Then the Lobotomy pick! Awesome! Though he doesn't die, it was still an awesome scene! Can't help but think they should've shown the pick going into his eye to increase the intensity! The other deaths were pretty good too! Bloody & very vicious! The look of the Evil Doctor was done well!The twist at the end was Jaw Dropping! I won't spoil it for you, but it was shocking when it was revealed by the end of the film! The points & suggestions during the film connecting together! Revealing a Dark Revelation! Overall the film was great! Unique & distinguishes itself from other crappy made paranormal films out there! 9/10

This commercial terror Spanish deals with some students of the Faculty who are brutally murdered by a mysterious killer .

As Angela join forces with four of her classmates , they will accompany her , as Maxi Iglesias as José , Lucho Fernández as Carlos , Úrsula Corberó as Belén and Óscar Sinela as Toni , an expert on supernatural issues who has been described as a friqui -which in Spanish means a mixture of freak and geek- . All of them to 'Susurro' ('Whisper'), with Diana's company, Angela's small sister (Alba Ribas) , who let them her van.

The group of Universitary young is stalked by a serial killer (Manuel De Blas) bent on harassing him while .This Spanish terror movie contains thrills , familiar drama, chills and lots of blood and gore . In XP3D director Sergi Vizcaino takes a group of young people to horrific places, he will put them physically there and he won't let them escape. We will follow the main characters into long and sinister basements where 3D will transport them to their worst nightmares . This frightening picture follows the wake from Spanish horror of the 2000s such as ¨Tuno Negro¨ by Pedro Barbero , ¨Art of die¨ by Alvaro Fernandez Armero and ¨School killer¨ by Carlos Gil . The film, directed by Sergi Vizcaino could have used a good writer to bring this horror story a bit more sense . The script could have been a little more credible, especially in the end, in which the disproportion of the situations leads hilarity and brief surprises at the ability to overcome in the error and a clear predictability . Murder scenes for example were very implausible, exaggerated and absurd, it spoilt the whole film for me . In spite of it , XP3D is an acceptable and passable entertainment with surprising and intriguing situations , it does have some good and eerie moments . The motion picture financed by Mar Targarona who produced various successful terror movies such as The orphanage , The Julia's eyes and the uninvited guest ; being middlingly directed by Sergi Vizcaino at his first film , having formerly realized TV episodes .

Look, I'll be blunt; this was just bad on every single level. Given it's cast of mainly ex Spanish teen drama rejects I went in with low expectations; I left with a bad taste in my mouth (though that may have been the salty popcorn they have in Spain). The film is a cheap cash in, an insult to it's audience. Nothing new or even well done was presented on screen, so if you've seen one bad horror film you know exactly what this has to offer you. Even given it's cookie cutter nature, the "tension building" is ridiculously hammed and boring and when it finally does get to the gory stuff it's just 5 minutes of a poor man's Saw. The acting is, of course, atrocious and the characters are all as unlikeable and forgettable as each other. One thing the film may have done well is making them the stupidest horror movie characters in horror movie history. OK, get this, they all have functional mobile phones and at one point early in they are told to switch them off for some terrible reason. At no point then after in the film do any of the characters mention their mobiles, even when their friends are being murdered around them, and most make almost no attempt to escape. Later on one of the characters goes to "chat to" the murderer completely unarmed and is then surprised when he is brutally sliced to pieces. A special shout out has to go to the Sony product placement, which was as about as subtle as the plot twist. In one scene the camera inexplicably hangs on someone playing a game on a Xperia mobile for several seconds, in another one character tells another to mind his new Sony video camera because "it's a really good one."I give it 2 stars only because a couple of the deaths made me laugh.
