I fittingly caught “Paranormal Activity” on Halloween and wanted to share some thoughts. Nick reviewed the movie last week and thus the purpose of this post will be to talk about the movie rather than actually review it.

Heading into this movie, I heard many things. Some said it was one of the scariest movies they’ve ever seen, while others said that the movie was spooky but not to the extent of the hype it was receiving.  Well, I thought this movie was exceptionally creepy; a truely frightening film that will keep me up at night for a while.

I do agree with Nick that the beginning 30 minutes or so was slow.  However, the slow start seemed only to toy with my imagination. The viral buzz of this movie had me eagerly awaiting to be scared out of my shoes.  Thus, the slow start pretty much made the anticipation grow. It also set the stage for a startling final 30 minutes.

The movie is shot from a night time to day time analysis of a couple being haunted by a demon.  At night, the craziness happens, and during the day they seem to analyze the previous night’s spook fest via the footage they record. Each time the movie goes into night mode, it’s basically “here we go again.” And each night gets more ridiculous then the one it follows.

This film takes the proverbial ‘dump’ on the “Blair Witch.” The Blair Witch made me more dizzy than scared, while Paranormal Activity was like watching a documentary of ‘The Exorcist’ on The Discovery Channel.  When I saw her get pulled our of bed and dragged down the hall, I think I lost it.  My heart started to beat outside my body and thoughts of me making sure I had a big enough to blanket to cover my legs sunk in.

There are also a couple endings of this movie running around the film world.  And now, I want to see each one.

Finally, a couple of questions popped into my mind that I wanted to share.

The Conversation 1. Why didn’t the guy dump the girl? – especially after he saw footage of her for 2 hours being possessed just staring at him sleeping.  – This girl brought a demon, a DEMON, into your house. I don’t know about you but that’s a deal breaker for me.

2. Why didn’t they close the door at night? Come on, just friggin close it

3. Why were they toying with demons? – umm, idiots

4. Why didn’t they buy a proton pack?  DUH

5. And again, why didn’t he dump the crap out of her? – Dude, come on.

Jokes aside, the film creeped the hell out of me. Check out this movie if you can.
