Nice effects though.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

616 is the number of the beast in some early versions of Revelation. A prison that housed 616 inmates is being investigated by the FBI. They viewed another found footage film, the beginning of a porno tape being filmed at said abandoned prison. The FBI opts to go in at night. Each agent has a camera mounted on their glasses. In addition there are still cameras.The agents divide up to set up cameras. The demons confront them one at a time with each agent facing their own personal demon.This feature has more eye candy than most found footage film, hence my three perverted stars. The rest of the film left much to be desired. There was no introduction of characters for us to identify with them or to learn about what personal demon they might have.Remember that an uninterrupted line of salt can stop a demon or a slug.The women are the only real reason to watch it, and only if its free.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Playmate Kylie Johnson Feb. 2011, Halszka Kuza, Maura Murphy, Zana Salobir)

This is one of those movies for those of you who enjoy the Found Footage Genre. This is also a movie for people who are not scared off by lower budget films. I absolutely loved this movie. It has an interesting take on the found footage genre b using glasses mounted cameras, which allows for an interesting side of the paranormal. The acting isn't the best, but I have seen much, much worse. I would have to say without a doubt that my favorite aspect of this movie is that the characters cross into the realm of the paranormal entities giving a new spin on haunted building movies. Obviously there are going to be a few flaws that might bother people such as the FBI Parapsychologist with a tramp stamp, but in general, this is not a bad film. I would highly recommend 616"Paranormal Incident to anyone who is a fan of the found footage genre, and enjoys seeing new twists on the typical haunted building movies.

I came across this at the local Redbox, because they didn't have the movie I intended to rent. I liked the cover picture and the description was decent. I am into paranormal movies and decided that I would rent this, as there were no other movies that raised my interest.I started the DVD while getting things from the kitchen and my girlfriend said that I missed a big fake breast shot. Not really wanting to rewind, I continued watching from where it was. Within 2 minutes I saw that the lighting was horrible and the acting was subpar, but I gave it about 1 more minute when I saw the skin-tight suit that the "FBI" agent was wearing. Immediately after that it showed another "agent" in a van watching video footage and he had some tattoos on his fingers. I decided at that moment that I would go rent all the other DVDs of this out of the Redbox, take them home, and burn them all. I don't care that it cost me $16 a DVD, just so that no one else would be duped into renting this movie and wasting $1.25 plus tax. This movie is not even worthy of being on VHS. I am tempted to write some hate mail to reimburse me for the money I lost.Conclusion: Do not rent this movie. Do not even streamline it. The people who filmed it should pay you to pirate it.

What can I say that probably already hasn't been said of "found footage" movies. Some can carry it off, at least enough so you stay focused on what you are watching and can view it to the very end. Others? Not so much. I watched 616 Paranormal Incident in the hope that the trailer I saw gave me some indication of what to expect. I was deceived. The flow and premise of the story makes it unbelievable from the start. The characters and the roles they play are neither believable nor are they interesting enough to compel you to really "get into" this movie. It's almost as if every moment designed to make you jump and gasp in fright is like every other you've seen with movies of this genre and after a while you are left with a feeling of "been there, done that, not impressed". The location to me looked very much like the notorious Linda Vista Hospital in L.A., a notoriously active paranormal location that is soon to become apartments. To me, that would have made a better story for a movie than this did. I mean imagine it, creepy hospital shut down over charges of mistreatment of patients and with a long list of potential candidates for haunting it gets bought by a developer with designs on turning that facility into an apartment complex. That my friends is fodder for a real scary movie! Some may fault the actors in this film for not delivering the movie as it was intended. It isn't their fault, you can only do so much with what you have and even the best actor in the realm of television or big screen could not have carried off this movie and saved it from its obvious lack of substance, story line or anything else that makes for a movie experience the audience can comprehend and enjoy. Don't shoot the messengers for this mishap, the actors did fine given what they had to work with. I thought that the makeup was somewhat well done. It was in line with what I have come to expect from these types of films but it was also done well enough that I didn't find myself rolling on the floor laughing at the attempt. This movie, for me, was a one and done. If you have nothing else to watch, it is an option for you but only if you have nothing else to watch.
