How do you know that the summer movie season is officially done? Check the box office and if it looks like this weekend, it's over. The months of massive openings and long legs are over. Welcome to the doldrums that are late August and September.

College kids do stupid things. They drink, they have promiscuous sex, they summon immortal demons from purgatorial realms of endless suffering. At least that's what they do in 'The Apparition,' a tediously insipid horror movie about four collegiate scientists who are smart enough to create devices capable of reaching across the etheric plane and stupid enough not to predict the consequences of their actions, or to have any idea how to stop the entity they let into our world.
First vampires and dark wizards, now a ghostly apparition that feeds on fear. Ashley Greene and Tom Felton cannot escape the supernatural... at least when it comes to their movie careers.
These two screen stars, known for their respective roles as Alice in 'Twilight' and Draco Malfoy in 'Harry Potter,' portray two thirds of a research team, the finishing role played by Sebastian Stan of 'Political Animals,' in the upcoming horror flick 'The Apparition.' As a group, they try to prove a theory that ghosts only exist because people believe in them and after creating a a deadly phantom with their minds, they prove the theory valid.
Creepy, huh? Well, maybe not as creepy as 'The Apparition'-themed prize pack.
