Finally, we'll leave you with a recent Review of Paranormal from Acclaimed Suspense Writer, Thomas Smith, Author of the new thrilling Novel, Something Stirs.
Paranormal works on a number of levels. As a supernatural suspense movie the story is engaging, the characters are believable, and the atmosphere is as much a character at times as the people on the screen. From a theological perspective the movie makes a number of very valid points, but does so in the context of the story as opposed to some films where it seems the theological portion is either so heavy handed that it overpowers the rest of the movie, or seems tacked on in an effort to make the film "Christian."
There's none of that here.
The pacing is effective, the action believable, and the tone of the movie will stand up against anything the major studios can do with their multimillion dollar budgets. In short...it's scary!
As an author in the same genre and an ordained minister, I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. I can recommend, however, that you invest in a nightlight before you watch it.

3rd Webisode and Prayer Request
Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to share two items with you in this update. First, we're excited to share the latest Webisode with you all! As always, feel free to share it and pass it around!
Second, we just wanted to also mention a Prayer Request. Please continue to pray for CSP, each other, and especially for the Krugers. As some of you are already aware, one of our Producers has been battling severe Migraines for 6 weeks now. After numerous Dr. visits and treatments, they still persist, so please continue to lift them up in prayer. If you've ever experienced this type of ailment, or know someone who has, then you know how utterly debilitating and serious these can be. I know they would be truly grateful for your prayers during this time.
