100th Street Haunting: The Return of Richard Speck

source: 100th Street Haunting: The Return of Richard Speck

Utterly terrible. Long story short apparently no one thought it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight or two to explore the creepy building. Also despite someone being killed almost every time, they repeatedly split up. Because they apparently suck at being prepared and patterns. On top of this there is basically no atmosphere building, people start dying right away, with almost no sort of suspense. I say almost because it became a race against the clock in the way that, how are they going to continue this movie at the rate which they're killing everyone off? There was maybe one good jump scare, which I personally don't like anyway because they're kind of low hanging fruit. As far as everything else goes the acting wasn't great and most of the time it was too quiet to hear and too dark to see the couple of creepy things. There honestly wasn't much plot or redeeming qualities. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie.

Paranormal Entity 4: The Awakening AKA 100 Ghost Street Aka 100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck (2012) This is kind of a re-watch, I only saw half of it the last times, I wasn't really in the mood to watch a found footage at the time. However I did watch this movie in full today, In 2010, paranormal investigators tried to film Richard Speck's ghost at the site of his heinous killing spree. The victims' families have finally released the footage that documents their last days. The movie wasn't that bad, I thought it was better then PE 2 Gacy House (2010) and I didn't find any of it funny, which is a good thing about this movie. I found two decent creepy scenes, with i thought were really well done, this is kind of mix of slasher and Ghost movie at the same time. People are being killed off, one by one by this invisible force. In the second part of the movie, the kills were decent and so-what gory, One of the reason I liked this movie more then I should. I didn't find this movie boring at all, they were some slow parts in this but they Stll kept me watching, until the end. I thought it was decent, for a found footage movie and the acting was decent from some of the cast, there were a few really wooden actors. 4/10 Worth watching.

Re: "Silouhette Noticed" review posted on June 4, 2013-- Below is the original review quoted-- *--*---*-*--*-*--*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*--*-*-*-*---*--*---*---*--* "While watching this flick with some family members we noticed something interesting at 56 minutes into the movie. Was the point when one of the cast members went to get the remote control car. On the right hand side of the screen a shadowed silhouette of what looks like a man hanging appears out of nowhere. Just something I have not found mentioned on the web so far." *--*---*-*---*-*--*--*-*--*---*--*--*---*----*---*---*---*---* This is the only place I, too have seen that this specific discussion, re: silouhette, absolutely does appear at the 56:12 minute mark and is clearly visible for the following 10+seconds until the 56:23 minute mark.. This silouhette is so well defined that you can actually see the "hanging man silouhette" actually move, as in appearing to turn just like how a body would do while suspended, hanging from a rope, and suspended up in the air, unable to touch the ground, yet fully able to freely spin/turn when left suspended in a hangman's position. For more than 10 full seconds this silouhette of what very much appears to be of a body, hung from a noose type rope around their neck.. The silouhette initially appears very unremarkable and even hard to spot..but within the first two seconds the silhouette quickly becomes very dark in color/contrast and becomes near impossible to miss its being there for more than 10 full seconds of the scene beginning at MM 56:12.. As it darkens becoming much more clear and apparent..it also begins to actually move the exact way one sees when observing a body hung from a noose around the neck, while suspended in mid air unable to touch the ground.. Slightly turning and making even more apparent that the silhouette is there and in a hangman's position with the person hanging's legs very much being noticeable, and even the slight, to good bit of clarity, that the legs are well defined and are dangling apart from each other.. And just to be clear on what scene this silouhette can be clearly seen.. Its the scene that begins, straight up on the 56:00min mark when cameraman, Jim enters into the eating room(the area which very much appeared to serve as the team's base camp) and Jim retrieves the remote camera equipment named, Clyde, to send it into the crawl space above the ceiling to look for Adam's body.. This scene 56:00-56:23 is filmed from the POV of it being an immobile, stationary surveillance cam covering this specific angle of base camp/the area in which they had eaten moments earlier in the movie... By 56:12-14 the silhouette is remarkably clear and very apparent.. It seems to almost appear from nowhere at 56:12 and only becomes just that much more clear and well defined within 10+seconds of this scene.. Would love to hear others thoughts on this observation from around the 56:00minute mark, and continuing to the 56:23minute mark of the film, "100th Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck"

Overall I enjoyed this film. There are some parts where you miss out on some of the action due to poor video shooting. Kept me interested throughout the whole film. Below there is a notice I have added to my review. While watching this flick with some family members we noticed something interesting at 56 minutes into the movie. Was the point when one of the cast members went to get the remote control car. On the right hand side of the screen a shadowed silhouette of what looks like a man hanging appears out of nowhere. Just something I have not found mentioned on the web so far. Hope people enjoy this flick as much as we did.

In 2010, paranormal investigators tried to film Richard Speck's ghost at the site of his heinous killing spree. The victims' families have finally released the footage that documents their last days. This is yet another found footage and pseudo-documentary film, which nobody demanded. The only person of note in it is Jackie Moore, who has appeared in the Maxim Top 100 and in another Asylum film, "Atlantic Rim". Most people probably have no idea who she is. This is apparently the fourth installment in the "Paranormal Activity" copycat series, "Paranormal Entity". The title does not make this evident, and near as can be found, there is no need to watch any of the previous entries. Scott Foy of Dread Central rated it 3/5 stars and called it the best found footage film made by The Asylum. Now, that may be so, but even if it is, "the best" of anything from The Asylum is still not great. Foy was being much too generous. But at least it was not made by Ulli Lommel, who would have made it terrible.

Asylum makes the worst film of all time, they rape film completely, yet they keeping producing crap and people watch. I wanted to cry because this film was so bad, the characters are borderline retarded( yeah I know people don't like that word, but it is the truth). The script was generic, the characters were cooker cutters, seen em before, see them again. Of course the film opens with a police evidence statement, haven't seen that before. Cameras set up all over the place, which never seem to have any importance latter on in the film, we rarely see them. So this is going to be one of those complaining reviews, and it will be a long one, I wrote a lot of stuff down. I will make reference to that Gacy house found footage film, which pretty is much identical to this film. It's also about a rapist ghost. The bad: I don't know if this Speck guy is real or not, and I don't know how he managed to kidnap 8 people at once. So this t.v. crew comes to a asylum, wow what a shocker, haven't seen that before. They are chasing a ghost, who raped women. So that means they bring as many women as possible with them. Did I mention these are the most cowardly ghost hunters ever, some of them don't even know how to work the equipment. And no that listening device they tried to pass off as paranormal equipment will not go over my head. I know for a fact that that device is used to spy on people, nothing else. So like jackasses they all split up, what could go wrong. Well Sarah!( in Jeff Goldblum voice) gets violently attacked and possible molested. And what does the crew do about it, they stay and call her BS. If that wasn't sadistic enough to this poor girl, they give her sleeping pills, and leave her alone in a room. I bet nothing bad will happen to her there. Time passes, as Adam spies on a Jackie undressing for some man director reason. Adam gets dragged away up into the ceiling, and he is somehow ripped in half be a ghost. Come on, a terminator can't even do that. Well, everybody comes to check it out, while poor little SARAH! is forgotten about in a room. And would you guess she gets brutally raped and killed. I bet her parents were so proud of her role in this film. The rest of the movie was painfully forced down my throat with sheer stupidity. It's obvious the ghost won't attack them in a group, but they always send one person off by them selves to do something, and of course it bites them in the ass, and ultimately leads to their doom. There is even a point where they forget a character was dead in front of them, while people right beside them still think they are alive. 27 minutes in, is where they should have left the building, but no. It's the law of nature, if you are that dumb, maybe you deserve what you get. And with all this stuff going on around them, they still continue to film everything, wwhhhhyyyy? But the part the sealed the nail in the coffin was just plain messed up. It wasn't the fact that the ghost that was physically more powerful than the devil, it wasn't the stupid people. It was the necrophilia ghost. I knew as soon as that body was being dragged to the bed, what was going to happen. Say it with me, A necrophiliac rapist ghost that is stronger than the devil. Shame on the degenerate who created this. It's like the people who think they can hide from ghosts, it's just crazy nonsense. This is seriously one of thee absolute worst films in the last 15 years, it's a tired formula. The film plays by too many rules, and never even thinks of doing something different. It had chances for horrific moments, but instead played it safe. Please. for the sake of innocent SARAH!, stay away from this film, she suffered enough.

**Spoilers below** 'Found footage' films...isn't anyone getting sick and tired of seeing them yet? Yes. Yes, we are. Take note film makers. It's old. It's tired. It's been done to DEATH, if you'll pardon the pun. I can sum up the entire movie thusly: Stupid, irritating crew shows up on site and is locked in. "What was that, did you hear that?" someone yells. Someone gets killed. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. "What was that??" someone else yells. Someone else gets killed. Cameraman switches to infrared vision. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. Someone else gets killed. Ghost rape. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. They turn on each other. Someone else gets killed. "Oh my God...there's NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" someone screams, conveniently forgetting that they ASKED to be locked in. Someone else gets killed, and everybody runs amok yet again, screaming the "F" word. No one makes it out alive, and we never get to see but about a one second shot of the 'bad guy'. The end. SNORE!

First off -> DO NOT trust the bad reviews! This is a perfectly good movie! (well, the story has been told so many times, but so what) The story is the usual stuff. The acting is good. The build up is good. The scares are good. The visuals are good. The whole scenery is good. I have no idea why people rate this as bad. Because I can assure you that that is NOT the case! I watch A LOT of movies. I know bad when I see it. I have been wanting to see this movie a lot of times but always ended up seeing one I knew was good because of the bad reviews, but now I just thought "Well - I'll just give it a go." And I am glad I did! The story reminds a lot of Grave Encounters. They lock themselves in a building hoping for to catch a glimpse of a ghost and/or multiple ghosts. I just had to write this review so that people would know that this movies deserves the chance to be watched! Overall I would give this movie 8/10 (they story should have been different since we all know it) but I rated it 10 because it's underrated on IMDb.

Like so many of these movies, it was made on a way to low of budget, with no talent whatsoever. The idea is sound, of course, lock a crew in a hospital, of course over night, of course with a ghost the loose, and of course nobody believes in ghosts. The acting was super horrible, the plot I liked, but the whining of the actors made me want to turn it off. Round and round in circles it felt this movie went, most of it wasn't believable but hey, these movies aren't supposed to win Academy Awards now are they? I wouldn't watch this movie if unless if you really had to, or if you are like and love these types of movies, its a definite watch!
