Paranormal Activity

[Mr.Metal]

Has anyone seen this movie? I haven't been as freaked out watching a movie since the Exorcist about 15 years ago!

I was a little bit skeptical about it because people were comparing it to the Blair Witch Project (which I thought it was just Ok), because of the way it's filmed, everything that you see comes is from the point of view of whoever is holding the camera; however, this one is more effective I think because not only it really makes you wonder what the hell is going on; but when you see what's happening it looks too real and since I believe in all that kind of stuff it really makes you feel defenseless and you feel terrible for the couple in the movie.

For those who don't know what's about, it's a couple that decide to film themselves at night because some strange things have been happening; the girl has been "followed" by some paranormal stuff since she was 8 years old and her boyfriend is a little bit skeptical about the whole thing so he wants to capture this on video (makes reference to the whole "if it's not on video, it doesn't exist" kinda thing) and you can witness the stuff that happens when they try to sleep. Although the movie starts really slow, it builds up to when shit really hits the fan it freaks the hell out of you, at least it did for me... every time they go to bed, the theater would literally hold their breath!

What I like about the movie is that the characters look/act real and the movie is very believable, they don't show you much, but when they do I had goosebumps! I went with a bunch of friends and you don't know how many times my friends would jump and kick the chair in front of us... one of my buddies was actually sweating cold! and next to me there were a couple of girls that were actually crying by the end of the movie! I think that's what makes it even more crazy, because you can see the reaction of the people around you.

Great movie, it's not the scariest movie ever as they were saying, but fuck it really gets to you! For a movie that only cost $11, 000 to make and that was filmed in a week, it gets the job very well done! Go see it on theaters cause it works even better!

No spoilers, it would definitely ruin the experience!

Watched it the other night. It was very much in the style of blair witch project for me. I did enjoy it though and deffinately makes you jumpy. I hear the cinema version has a better ending than the screener thats been torrented .

thanks for the review, might have to go check it out. I'm not a fan of most scary movies, but I'll make an exception since its nearly Halloween. Hell, even my 93 year old grandmother was watching The Hills Have Eyes on TV the other night. It was too violent for her, but she had to keep watching since she wanted to know what happened to the baby. If she can tolerate a movie like that, I think I can handle this movie.

I watched a copy my buddy burned for me...I guess I'll be the first to say in this topic that I wasn't impressed by it! My girlfriend and I watched the whole thing and didn't even get scared, I don't know I didn't really think anything extraordinary was going on with it but that's just my opinion. Seems the rest of the world is applauding this movie but I just didn't agree.
