The Apparition (2012)"The following was filmed on May 21, 1973 when a group of paranormal psychologists tried to contact a recently deceased colleague named Charles Reamer. It is referred to today as 'The Charles Experiment.'" Of the original six, two died, one committed suicide and the other three disappeared.
This film is referred to today by me as 'The BS Experiment.' Rated PG13. Made by Dark Castle or I wouldn't have bothered. Yet another 'paranormal' type piece. A young couple conducting an experiment find that it has followed them home and shows up as mold in their new house. They freak. The mold grows. We yawn. Nobody bleeds.
What's the problem? This modern day ghost buster (rip off) waste of time has its 'containment' thingy fail. So spirits have found an open portal or something to go wreak havoc (and make more bad movies) and they can't close it. The couple of the movie, Ben and Kelly go to a hotel but what, do they think spirits can't see or something?
So now they think they can 'contain' the spirits using a machine that, frankly, rips off the idea of Richard Matheson in The Legend Of Hell House. It fails as well - partly. It doesn't suck spirits in, it sucks in the people who try to use it. That's almost as good. In goes the idiot who started the whole mess, then the boyfriend and Kelly is all alone.

She thinks she's escaped but she's all alone - the whole world is empty. She goes to a Costco with no one in it (that must have been the hardest trick of the movie) and finds a tent on display and for some reason gets in. There she sits until she's sucked into... whatever. The end.
