Did anyone saw the movie Paranormal Activity? It's about a couple who moved in a starter house that may or may not have a demonic presence.
It have a Blair Witch Project buzz about it. It's out on limited release but will be open in more theaters this Friday. It had an interest campaign in which people who wants this film to play in their area can go to their website and push DEMAND IT. After a million hits, the film will be out into more theaters.
I'm hoping to see this film soon.
With Zombieland, The Stepfather, Saw VI, and Paranormal Activity, it could be an interesting Halloween for me. :)

There really hasn't been a decent paranormal film since Poltergeist.

No the true paranormal activity is the Lions winning.
And of course the recent Noble Peace Prize award :)

I am thinking more like the Broncos being 5 and 0.
That is just plain strange.
Or the Bengals being 4 and 1, and one freak play away from being 5 and 0.

Paranormal Activity is without a doubt on of the scariest movies of ALL TIME!!! This movie will make you jump, duck, cringe, grab onto and jump into the arms of the person next to you!!
The Story is about a couple who are dealing with Paranormal Activity in their home. The Boyfriend buys
a HD camera and some sound equipment to document what happens the wierd unexplained Paranormal Activity takes place in their home.
There is no blood, no gore, just the Best Suspense / Horror film you will see this year!
I thought the film was real! The way this is shot it give you the impression that it was based on a true story. You decide for yourself if it is real or not!
Film Grade: A+

As I recall critics said much the same thing about "The Blair Witch" movie as well. I found Blair Witch to be lame and about as scary as an unopened bag of marshmallows.

And everyone who said that about the Sixth Sense were screaming like little girls when they saw it the first time.

Maybe we should get an DNA test. :)
I can't wait to see this film after The Stepfather and Saw VI (I want to see Saw VI the same weekend it will be release).

I just mentioned to hubby about seeing Paranormal Activity over the weekend, and it looks like Saw VI is opening next weekend and we usually see the Saw movies on the opening weekend. I haven't even seen a trailer for Saw VI so I'm going to look now for it.

I'm sorry but the last movie to scare me was a 1950's horror flick I saw on TV as a kid. Every horror flick I've seen since I've grown up hasn't been even slightly scary.

I'm planning to see the movie this Saturday. For the last several months, I've been doing the dollar theatre and the Redbox thingy, but this time, I'm hitting the regular theatre.

I finally saw Paranormal Activity over the Halloween weekend (not on Halloween liked I originally planned), and it was a good and suspenseful film. The final moments of the film, especially the ending, gave me some chills.
The film builds up the suspense and the scares unlike most horror films where the scary moments occurred in the first few moments. Also, there were some humorous moments in the movie. I liked the way the camera works and shot in the movie.
Was it the scariest movie of all time? No. Was it a very good film? Yes.
I recommend everyone to see it, especially late at night.
I give it three stars out of five.
ENJOY!!!!!

I want the two hours I spent watching this movie back.
Talk about overhyped. Boring and not scary.
1/4 stars.
Drag Me To Hell was a far superior horror movie released this year. Rent that instead.

I just saw this movie and I was so disappointed, and it got 85% on the tomato meter at rotten tomatoes.
They totally were building up suspense throughout the whole film, and until the ending it flopped.
Way over-hyped.

Me too :(. Hubby kept saying "what do you think" and I kept saying their building suspense, but you can't build suspense for an hour and a half and then have just 1 scene with all that buildup.

I second that emotion.
Saw it and was totally disappointed. Even the "suspense building" was disappointing. Light on. Light off. Noise. Chandelier swing.
I found the footprints in the flour a bit chilling but that was about it. NO surprise at the end, anyone who's seen 2.3 horror flicks knew what was coming. Scream. Silence. BIG SURPRISE!
The best thing about the movie was the marketing. They sure did a damn good job there!

I saw it last night and thought it was very good. I'm not someone who gets scared at movies as usually I end up laughing at the so called scary parts but this was probably the closest I've come to being creeped out at a movie in a long time. Every time they went to that night cam you were just waiting for something to happen and even when the something ended up being something small it was still creepy. I think part of it was the vulnerability of the two characters since they were sleeping and helpless at that time. I think the low budget also helped in that there was no music to go with it as that sometimes detracts from the suspense building.
My only real pet peeves with the movie are that I hated the way they said the name Michah as I've always heard it as MY-cah not MEE-cah. And I hated the macho PIS that Micah showed throughout the movie.
