Starring: Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Amber Armstrong, Mark Fredrichs
Genres: Horror
Katie and Micah are a young couple living in a house together for three years time. After some strange things happen, Micah buys a very nice camera. He decides to set the camera up so that it films their room over night. Over time, they keep getting disturbing footage of some sort of paranormal activity. Katie says she has been haunted since she was little, so she thinks she has brought this entity. Katie starts to sleep walk with no remembrance of it. As it intensifies, they start to get completely freaked out, and it starts to harm their relationship. Katie wants the camera off but Micah thinks they need to continue getting the footage. They get a specialist on ghosts to come, and he says not to test or anger the entity. However, Micah continues to test it, which causes them to fight. They try to get an exorcist, who is out of town, so they resort back to the ghost specialist, who now says the presence is too strong, so he leaves. They eventually talk about staying somewhere else, but Katie soon changes her mind with a smile, tipping off some sort of possession inside of her. That night is when the real disaster happens. Will Katie get worse and do something tragic? And what will happen to Micah?

Micah: Basically, they're these malevolent evil spirits that only exist to cause pain and commit evil for their own amusement. It's pretty creepy. I mean, they stalk people for years, like decades, and sometimes they're really intelligent in the way they do things to freak you out.
Trivia: At one point before the film was widely released, the studio was interested in remaking the film with a larger budget and more well-known actors, and including the original version of the film as a DVD "special feature." Thankfully, this idea was eventually shot down, and the original version of the film was released in theaters.
Question: When the couple had flour on the floor between their room and the hallway at night, I seemed to be the only one that noticed that the footprints of the 'demon', who apparently walked on the flour, only had three toes. I couldn't find the scene when watching it again, so I'm asking you if you've seen the same.

Chosen answer: I noticed the three toed footprint as well. It was kind of like a chicken's foot.
