PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
Does this film live up to the hype? For what it is, not really. I actually LIKED the film, but I don’t find this to be the scarriest film of all time, however I want to see another viewing of it as the movie theater I was in had dimwitted adolesents that would shut up! Besdies that, I am not going to spoil any details for anybody who Hasn’t seen it.
But I suggest a rental instead, with no distraction, turn off the lights and turn up the surround sound because the devil is in all the details in this film. Yes the movie had it’s flaws, as all the handheld films in the past(BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, CLOVERFIELD), a quick example of this would be the reality of filming non-stop in scary situations. But anyway, the story revolves a couple’s investigation into a haunting that revolves around a young girl. Through that they set up a camera to capture the events and to their suprise, they actually capture paranormal activity over and over again. Acting isn’t bad, the situation is kind of not believable(a few times while I was watching the movie I was actually admiring the house the film was shot in), but when the supernatural does it happen it makes you jump out of your chair. If you want to see it in a theater do it either during the day or an a school night, so you don’t run into the same group of kids that ruined it for me.
I RECOMMEND PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, its not memorable but its fun.
