Episode 50 (2011)

Focuses on two television crews of paranormal experts: one team of skeptics looking to de-bunk myths about ghosts and another consisting of believers looking to prove their existence. Teaming up for the first time for a special episode, the crews get more then they bargained for when they actually make contact with a spirit of tremendous power and must band together to stop it before it destroys them all.

At the behest of a dying billionaire, two teams of paranormal researchers are given the chance to investigate the West Virginia Lunatic Asylum. With the results, he intends to determine whether or not he goes to hell for his actions in life. One team is out to prove the supernatural and the other is there to disprove it.

 The united, the teams consist of a gay dude, a black guy, an Irishman, a psychic, an atheist and an overly religious dude. I think that's the horror film full house.

After a brief standoff, the two decide to work together and as the cameras are being set up, weird things begin to occur. The official investigation begins at midnight, so no one really pays attention.
Fairly quickly, The Believer team finds evidence that there is a poltergeist controlling things. They see it as their duty to save those trapped souls. The non believers, who by now have actually communicated with a ghost, are frantically trying to convince their leader that shit is real and they need to leave. When they do try to leave however,they find themselves trapped in the asylum as the believers have summoned the demon, who appears and kills their conduit.

Now, with the demon on the loose, the teams head to the site of the former State Penitentiary. There, they seek the portal that allowed the demon into this world and attempt to force it back.
Much like Series 7, this film is also framed as a reality tv show, but you know what i liked about Episode 50? It doesn't take too long for shit to get real. Audio/visual tricks (Images moving in backgrounds, Whispering, etc.) are part of the ambiance and they add a necessary but creepy vibe to the film. Like most films of this type, it starts to fall apart at the end. I almost expect it at this point, so I won't be too critical.
