Paranormal Extremes: Text Messages from the Dead

Mikels sucks in everything he does. I have yet to see a half decent movie by him. The acting is horrible. The writing is weak. The whole thing is stupid. Please stop releasing this guy's crap!!!

There is actually an interesting concept for a potentially brilliant film here, but the execution of everything from the script to the direction, editing, acting, camera work and sound makes that incidental.

While it is good to see that The Horrible Actors Guild of America is keeping people employed, it's clear that only Brenda Grippi shows a level of talent above those that would be due paying card carrying members of such a union and seems somewhat out of place in this production. Josef Niznik (Brandon) on the other hand, might serve as the lifetime president of said guild.

This appears to be a straight to vid "film" shot on video/digital medium. It's inconceivable that this movie might have received even a limited release in someone's basement, or garage. To cite the innumerable problems here (which include but are in no way limited to; zero chemistry between the lead and anyone/everyone else, less than chat cam level special fx, poorly written/delivered dialogue, etc. etc. etc) would take more time and space than this film deserves.

If you're a fan of terrible movies, and not in that ironic "it's so bad it's good" kind of way, or equate amateur, backyard produced youtube videos to a severely bastardized version of cinema avant-garde' then this might be the film for you. However, for the rest of us; I think that if a person can find a single redeeming quality in this other than what I've mentioned and can ALSO sit through the entire thing then you've probably got something well over the Dali Llama in terms of patience and nirvana might be near. Though you still won't find it in this D-grade movie. Keep close to a fallout shelter if you intend to watch this bomb.

You can say one thing about Ted V. Mikels as a director and that is that he's consistent: consistently awful, that is. PARANORMAL EXTREMES: TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE DEAD is as ridiculous as it sounds, a no-budget outing in the supernatural film genre with a plot that writes itself. The problem with this film is the cheapness of it: the entire movie consists of people sitting around in rooms and acting very badly.

There's something about doomed romance here and messages from the afterlife, but it's all faintly ridiculous and none of the actors involved convince you of their motivations. The wooden lead, Colie Knoke, is particularly awful and puts you off watching whenever she's on the screen, which is 99% of the time. Otherwise the film is padded out with footage of tattooed non actors, cheesy emoting, and a handful of lame superimposed special effects that they shouldn't have bothered with. It's a dog.

Ted V Mikels is an elderly B-movie mogul who did his best work in the late 1960s but here he is in the 2010s and still putting out entertaining work. Now "Paranormal Extremes" is totally cheap and absurd and not that much happens, compared to the latest superhero cash-in. But there's more heart and individuality - maybe even art - in this movie than in the multiplex.

You can easily warm up to the characters, laugh at their dialogue and enjoy the primitive special effects, without ever having your intellect insulted or being sold some bullshit deep morals from a giant corporation. No, this movie is not scary or sexy or hip. But it doesn't need to be. Its fun and innocent and a great departure from the Hollywood formula.

Title is self explanatory,don't even think about watching this more than the opening credits...it's just not there.

This whole "movie" is like kids playing with daddy's camera.

Extremely poorly acted, abhorring filming skills, awful plot and I can go on forever.

Only watch this if you're planning to make fun of it or if you're high enough to enjoy the ridiculousness of it all.

Hope you're gonna take my advice and not even throw a glance at it.

I don't even know how this was published ! It doesn't deserve even a 1 star rating.

Thank you.
