FILM REVIEWS
No matter how far we progress, we can't currently communicate with the people who left us
behind. We know that one who passes to the afterlife does not return, and this is a fact of life.
SYNOPSIS: The documentary captures a series of "Psychic Circles" where Director Karl
Fallon, in collaboration with Psychic Medium Patrick McNamara and with unknown in advance
attendees, creates the conditions believed to facilitate communication with spirit entities. These
circles take place in reputedly haunted locations across the UK and Ireland. The central premise
of the documentary revolves around the presence of spirit entities that move flowers held by the
attendees. This phenomenon seen on camera is explained to us by Patrick McNamara, who
claims during the filming that this is proof of genuine physical mediumship.
The film is visually extremely adaptive and engaging, with a perfect mix of documentary-style
footage and top-notch close-up shots that capture the experiences and expressions of the
participants. The application of various haunted locations affixed an atmospheric and legitimate
tone to the film, enhancing the whole ambiance.
Karl Fallon’s cinematography will easily engage the attention of the viewers. What is unique in
this documentary compared to other spirit-oriented documentaries is that this movie focuses on
physical phenomena that are extremely challenging to capture. The idea that spirits can move
objects, such as flowers through mediumship is very difficult to prove. The documentary
illustrates the real-time experiences with the reactions of the participants that elucidate the
depth of the portrayal.
The real events of the sitters and the follow-up interviews of their perspectives, encompasses a
layer of validity to the documentary. Every person who participated in these experiments, and
subsequently gave first accounts of their experiences in this documentary, did not know Karl Fallon or his
team beforehand. Their descriptions of the phenomena they witnessed contribute to the
documentary’s impact and presentation of reactions that creates a realistic validation of the
phenomena.
