Harry Potter's Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) embraces the dark side in this supernatural thriller in the vein of Paranormal Activity, produced by Joel Silver's Dark Castle genre banner. When frightening events start to occur in their home, a young couple, Kelly (Twilight's Ashley Greene) and Ben (Gossip Girl's Sebastian Stan), discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural (Felton), but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force....

Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: The Apparition fails to offer anything original, isn't particularly scary, and offers so little in the way of dramatic momentum that it's more likely to put you to sleep than thrill you.

Assignment X

Abbie Bernstein

Overall, The Apparition is merely okay. It delivers a few shivers, but it's mostly a case of style over substance and scares.

Devoid of scares and energy, the picture is all bumps in the night and has nothing to set it apart from its other forgettable post-Japanese horror contemporaries.

In so many ways a missed opportunity, The Apparition looked like it could conjure a few scares in telling the story of a couple haunted by an entity they helped release, but this Ashley Greene vehicle fades into the void with a yawn.

None of this matters at all because the main characters are completely unlikable, and the momentum is consistently ruined by poor decision-making.

It's frightening to think that a major studio like Warner Brothers would not only release a film this bad into theaters nationwide, but that it would even green light it in the first place.
