“Encounter” (*1/2 out of four) was a third-rate encounter of the worst kind involving yet another found-footage story of a newlywed couple (Justin Arnold and Andrea Nelson) who rent an old farmhouse to do a thesis when they are suddenly beset by (yawn) paranormal activity that leads them to think the farmhouse is haunted. But the only animals that one might hope to find in this farmhouse is either dogs or turkeys because this is certainly what this film resembles. Only for those desperate to watch anything in Redbox or Netflix. Arnold and Nelson’s sincere performances are wasted.
