The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill (2013)

A well made but ultimately lacking found footage investigation into mysterious goings on at the ruined Church of St Mary The Virgin in Bedfordshire.

The whole thing is given creedence as real locals are interviewed about real goings on at the church over the years. From body snatching to Occult rituals. Rather than the fictitious events of say The Blair Witch Project these things actually happened at St Mary's Church.

The ruined church is a fabulous location for a film such as this and based on what historical events occurred, is a place i'd quite like to visit.

Although the interviews are interesting there's not an awful lot of shaky cam horror until the final five minutes when, admittedly, it is decidedly creepy (no spoilers and don't look on Google Images either) It's a pity as the footage is well filmed, you see what's going on rather than staring at the ground or the contents of someone's nose.

For those who enjoy found footage / documentary films then i'd certainly recommend this. To everyone else, probably not.

The film was released by Second Sight and the dvd is loaded with extras.
