100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck

I've seen a lot worse...but still prefer "Grave Encounters"
Well, I am a "found footage" junkie, and being so I have seen tons of terrible movies lately. This is by no means one of them. However, it isn't great either. I am assuming that the director was working with a low budget, but it still looks pretty good. My biggest gripe with the movie was that they went the route of showing a white, blurry, translucent figure for the ghost.

I don't care, I want to see it anyway), and this movie follows pretty much the same formula as the second one: a team of investigators goes into the medical dormitory where Richard Speck carried out his murder spree and try to contact his ghost, in the end getting much more than they bargained for and...
