Haunted Earth Double Feature: Cathnafola And Leap Into Darkness

The History, Story... Of these places, as Chris Halton describes & actually Experiences! A Chilling Film "CATINAFOLA"!I haven't seen "Leap into Darkness", Yet!... I am saving it for tonight in the USA! I Cannot Wait. "Leap" Castle has been of my interest for a while now!... Another "Very Active" place!... JerJ

I was surprised by the 5 positive reviews of this movie. I love this whole genre, but...I don't think I could even give anything away, because nothing happens. It begins with the narrative, nice, spooky feel. Then it goes to the 3 kids who "hear" things, badly lit, I understand, they were going for the really amateurish atmosphere, and this they succeeded with. Then we're introduced to Haunted Earth, led by Chris Halton, and he and 2 others go to Cathnafola to "confirm" this amateur video, because it seems kind of suspicious to them. Chris immediately feels oppressive evil, but it's just a bunch of pointing-because what he sees, of course the camera doesn't pick up. And basically, that's it, kids. They drive away and later talk about their experiences, Chris deciding that things are not concluded and they will have to return with more people. It's kind of like a very long trailer. If you absolutely have to see it, try to rent, so you won't be out of your money as well as 71 minutes of your life.

This is a wonderful film. A story based on the truth. The intro is already very attractive and stylish, something that is expanded over the entire film. The entire film radiates huge quality, and this in every way concerning the composition and everything else and not to forget the play of colours, and that all made the film to that what it really is : an artwork of high level that entertains from the first second to the last one. It is pleasant to watch Cathnafola,... because it is all brought so natural by everyone. It is also brought in a quiet way, and by that it has some kind of hypnotic attraction. There is a lot of artistic material, such as the photographs of that place. And the story itself; the music and sounds, which are perfect in tune with the situations and the different scenes. That all together makes it to a film who cannot be compaired with any movie I know, and all that makes Cathnafola just a level higher than most movies. Also the subject of the paranormal is brought in the way as it is... no exaggeration. It is the way it is ! Chris Halton, since many years being a paranormal investigator, is a psychic on probably all the 5 senses, such as to see, to smell, to hear, to feel... that makes it to a reality film! Congratulations to everyone involved !

I never knew about Cathnafola house until I saw this movie, Chris Halton and his Haunted Earth team investigate probably their scariest paranormal investigation yet.I'm a huge fan of Chris Halton and the investigations that he does ... anyway more about the film because that's what I'm supposed to review:The film is wonderfully put together and I thought everything suited the movie really well, I was specially attracted to the film's score soundtrack and the wonderful photography.Remember, this is a real life film and it is not fictional, things that happened in the movie itself really happened. What you see is what you get. They also recorded, in my opinion, some of the best EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) I have ever heard.It was so scary at some points I didn't have anybody to hold on to so I had to clutch the pillow I just found on the chair and started shaking dramatically like a little girl at some moments, while other parts made me speechless!!! it was a movie that made me sleep with a night light on that night. I enjoyed it very much.

This was absolutely disappointing. All I watched was three guys getting scared in the woods. If you're going to be a paranormal investigator be a little more professional and not scream at every noise you hear. I want to see a real investigation and actual evidence and not some guy saying I feel this and I feel that and I sense it. The guys get scared every second is a little annoying. And then one guy gets supposedly possessed. Like really? This is a troll of a film. I GOT TROLLED

Cathnafola is one of those true paranormal investigations that will give you chills! I started watching the DVD with much anticipation, and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere throughout the film is duly creepy, and an intense feeling of expectation permeates the entire investigation. There are some very surprising and shocking moments during the investigators' time there. And the bonus investigation of Leap Castle is equally chilling, with more unexpected moments. Chris Halton and Jason Figgis, along with everyone else involved in this project have done a great job on the entire film. Very intense and very engrossing! This definitely gets a five star rating. More, if I had my way!

I saw Cathnafola at the Irish Film Institute Horrorthon. It is one hell of a scary movie. The hair on your neck just keeps creeping up. Looking forward to getting it on DVD and seeing the bonus film, which I don't know.I'm updating now that I've bought the DVD and have also now seen the bonus film Leap of Faith. It's an equally chilling account of the haunting of Ireland's Castle Leap. Seriously creepy history there as told by the castle's somewhat weird owner. Another Haunted Earth gem, and a great DVD to own.

Are all of you guys crazy? This was totally fake and lame... They made a 30 min Paranormal TV show into a lame ass movie! The screams were clearly added and EVPs dont sound like that.. They make it seem like they had EVPs set through out the house and this was not the fact. EVPs are always followed by the crew saying things or provoking. The EVPs you heard were as if they were not moving around and even if they stopped to records EVPs what they got was totally fake! Waste of time! Yeah this is Ghost Hunters the movie.. LAME LAME LAME

I was disappointed cause so much talking, and it was more on this one crying all the time, so it was mostly on him...I taught for sure more of this castle but it was more on this cry baby...disappointed indeed..

Die Hauptdokumentation über Cathnafola dauert ca. 72 Minuten und der Bonusfilm Leap into Darkness gut 22 Minuten.Beides sind atmosphärische Dokumentationen, welche auf nächtliche Feldforschung und Erklärungen dazu bestehen.Am Ende steht man etwas verloren da, weil nur Hinweise gefunden werden, die später erneut untersucht werden müssen, aber nicht auf dieser DVD.Die Hintergrundgeschichten, die den Investigationen zu Grunde liegen, sind interessant, leider gibt es keinerlei Aufklärung über die Sachverhalte in den untersuchten Ruinen.
