Aka End of the Road
A cameraman and sound guy are asked to work on a new reality show pilot where they will be ghost hunting. The on air personalities are two random women hired to provide curb appeal, but have no background in the paranormal. The other is an uptight guy but at least he has knowledge of the subject.
They end up in the middle of nowhere in farm country at a huge cabin nearby the haunted location. There is a local woman hired to be a guide and provide information on the areas history. She’s unable to get through a conversation without saying things like, “I’m with you, cowboy” or “we’ll make a country boy out of you yet.” It gets old fast.
On the first night of shooting, a chandelier rips loose and hits one of the hosts, sending her flying out a second story window. By the time the cameraman gets outside, the uptight guy says she’s dead because “her neck snapped like a twig.” No one shall ask how he contributed to her death since he has her head cradled in his lap, and that is definitely not what you do with someone who has a neck injury.
When they bring her body back to the house and review the footage, they find something on the film that shows it was not paranormal, nor an accident. At this point, things go off the rails.
The most difficult thing about this movie is the background music. It’s totally inappropriate. It’s runs the gamut from music you’d hear on a soap opera, or a sensitive drama, or a video game. There are times where something humorous is supposed to be happening and there’s light humor music like you’d hear on Bones or NCIS Los Angeles. This is a pretty tame movie since it was made for TV, which definitely explains why they’d use this type of needle drop music.
