The Presence (Die Prasenz)

From the great country of Germany, a mockumentary of three friends, a creepy castle, and a bunch of loud noises that make you jump.
A couple of college students named Markus and Lukas decide to go on a trip to a old castle rumored to be haunted. Markus brings his girlfriend Rebecca with them, who is not happy with the idea. They tell about the dark history of the castle, they settle in and during their stay something dark and sinister comes to not only to make noise and move doors, but to bring them face to face with the terror they wish to document.
Now nearly all horror mocumentaries are the same. Shaky camera, loud noises, and some jump scares that usually involve some loud noises. The Presence delivers all and even some that help with the illusion of it being 'found footage'. One being the camera doing odd things on its own such as moving or malfunctioning because of the presence of a spirit.
This movie does deliver a lot of good scares. The only thing going against it is that when you learn about the history of the castle, they seem to just gloss over it leaving a gap in the story that helps to explain why things are happening. They do give a brief discussion of the dark history and if I may add incest like history of the castle. Other than that there is that story gap that just drives ya crazy. At least me. I like completion. Typical, I know. But I am what I am.
Anyways, final thought: good with the scares, ok with the story. If your were doing a mockumentary horror night, you could add it. If you don't mind subtitles. If you don't like reading than don't watch this. I will say this...loved the kitchen, not too keen on having a door that leads to a dungeon in the kitchen. Plus poltergeist are so noisy. Excuse me! I'm trying to sleep! Put those chairs back!
