Flatline (2021)

A paranormal show heads to Rome to investigate a case.  They’ve been contacted by a Damiano, a hollow eyed guy who can’t sleep.  He suffers from sleep paralysis and sees a young girl at the foot of his bed. Harold says they don’t usually take on this type of case, but Damiano seems subservient. Uh okay.

The village Damiano lives in is an old one where the buildings are all connected and you walk through passageways to get around.  The citizens aren’t very friendly but the team is able to find a place to stay and a nearby restaurant.

Michelle is in front of the camera, and Harold and Lisa are behind it. They are constantly in each other’s shots. When they go to visit Damiano, his door is open but he’s nowhere to be found. Then an angry man shows up and kicks them out.

The town folks don’t want to talk to them once they discover the group are ghost hunters. But one family with a missing girl is willing to talk, until they say something that upsets them.  In the course of their questionable research skills, they discover one of the old families in town used to sacrifice children in the Middle Ages, and a child has gone missing every seven years on the new moon since the 1700s. What’s that now? It’s the new moon creeping up behind you to tap you on the shoulder? Good luck 


Ridiculous dialogue:

We receive loads of requests every month and we have to judge who deserves our attention and who doesn’t.

[Listening to a conversation in Italian]
Harold: What did she say?
Girl:  English!
Harold: Actually American.


Our three paranormal investigators
This host needs a camera person who doesn’t get in the shot.
Not the bet thing to see drawn on the wall
The door to one of the houses

If Harold was filming himself and that’s his leg,
 then who’s holding the camera?
Damiano and his lack of sleep
Walking through the passageways in the village
