The big surprise hit of the year so far has to be the low budget shockumentary (new buzz word of the moment that will be killed to death no pun intended before the end of the year) Paranormal Activity Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels divx that was made for 11K and so far has grossed $86 million domestically.  Horror fans flocked to this new Blair Witch type of movie and the viral marketing buzz for the film has been racing, helping push the movie.  The movie consists of shocks and enough creepy sound effects to get your heart pounding and sweat building.  Multiple endings floating around the internet as well have helped keep this movie in the mind of fans.  With the success it has had, there has been a lot of talk, and a lot of talk leads to the inevitable.

Paramount made the smart decision not to take this low budget flick and Hollywoodrize it the way most terrible horror thrillers end up.  But it seems that Paramount has not learned from the HORRORibleness that was the Blair With sequel that came out a decade ago.  Paramount is looking at making a big budget sequel to the surprise low budget hit.

Hollywood Reporter

reports that Philipe Dauman (CEO of Viacom which owns Paramount) made a statement saying that a sequel would lack the element of surprise that has made PA a runaway hit.

While this is true and I completely agree that you cannot recreate the buzz and surprise of a movie like this which is why it has taken a decade to create a new type of hit like this.  But a sequel?  Really?  I understand sequels and remakes are the go-to of studios today to bank on established franchises but there is not reason for this.  The Blair Witch sequel was by far voted as the worst movie of the year if not decade and there is nothing that makes me believe that this won’t be the same way.

I personally did not love Paranormal Activity and did not buy into the hype that others did when they claimed it was the freakiest movie they have ever saw.  I also hated Blair Witch and almost walked out on that.  I understand the fear that the movie plays with peoples mind, but it just didn’t do it for me.  A sequel would be laughable, and I would just consider it a comedy for how horrible it would be, not cause there will be any horror to it.

Would see see a Paranormal Activity Sequel?

“Paranormal Activity” Starlet To Appear in…“Experimental Activity”?

The Paranormal Activity phenomenon is here; stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat appeared both on The Jay Leno Show and the latest Entertainment Weekly cover this week alone, in addition to their buzzed-about film consistently appearing in the top ranks at the box office. It’s only natural for Sloat and Featherston to move on to other movies after riding this fame wave. And that’s exactly what’s happened.

Featherston has starred in an independent horror movie called Walking Distance. Distance is written and directed by Mel House, whose directing career only goes as far as two little fright-fests called Fade to Black and Closet Space (the next Oren Peli?). The film is about government-controlled medical experiments that happen to a ghost town. But now the producers of the film have renamed their flick: Experimental Activity. Yes, it looks like House, even though already having one of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now and a promising plot has retitled Walking Distance to an obvious Paranormal Activity rip-off.

President of Showcase Entertainment, who has international rights to the movie, David Jackson gave this statement to Variety: “Clearly having the fastest-rising star in the business is a feather in the cap, but we feel the film stands on its own as a cool psychological thriller.”

We’re wise enough to expect a number of movies that try to be as big of a hit as Activity. This weekend we’re given the first, The Fourth Kind, which so obviously looks like a Peli copy. However Mel House’s film has a strong enough plot to not have to ride on anyone else’s success. Even if he has the star on film already.

Bantering about Paranormal Activity

The Hoax divx

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.

Minotaur movie

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.

Keep Bantering

Snap Review of Paranormal Activity

Hey everyone, this week I saw Paranormal Activity and here’s my review of it:

The Arrival psp

Undercover Brother hd

Hollywood is still searching to recreate its horror flick that proved indie can be scary, 1999’s The Blair Witch Project. Paranormal Activity is built upon the same structure that the groundbreaking fear-the-reaper was constructed upon.

Oren Peli’s ghost story is hit-and-miss. While the first 40 minutes takes forever to pass, once it gets going it’s delightfully spooky; a down-home Halloween picture. Not terrifying, but it does bring up some interesting ideas.

Select scenes will make you jump out of your seat, however two scenes don’t make up for an endless beginning of nonsense. Like The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity is a great horror flick to watch in the dark with a group of friends. It sure beats a lot of the other grisly, violent, and pretty pointless films that Hallows Eve constantly brings about.

Fantastic Fest 2009#039;s Horror Prodigy

The first horror movie I ever saw was Stephen King’s IT

, which remains to be the scariest movie I have ever seen. I know it’s cheesy and all, but it’s because I saw it at such a young age that I continue to be terrified of clowns to this day. That being said, there was no reason that I didn’t enjoy it. Although horror movies nowadays aren’t as good as they were back then. The Saw Hancock movie series was promising however more of a thriller/bloodbath, now that we’re at the sixth installment. What happened to the days of The Blair Witch Project, Cujo and, yes, IT? Just a few days ago, I heard about this movie at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas called Paranormal Activity

that is supposed to be “one of the scariest movies of all time” according to Bloody-Disgusting. They also promise that it will bring nightmares. Hell yes.

From the only trailer that Activity The Leon (Professional) download has released, you have no idea what it is about besides that it involves an evil spirit that haunts a couple’s home. Funny thing is that this is writer-director Oren Peli’s first major movie. He studied graphics and animations. The same can be said of the writer-directors of The Blair Witch Project, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. They both went on to make bigger movies, however I have to assume that Witch Project is what they owe all of their success to. The reason I’m so excited for this movie is because I was too young to even remember Blair Witch Project

and now that I’m old enough, Paranormal Activity Shattered video could be generation Y’s low-budget, memorable horror movie. I’ll tell you what I think of it when the screenings reach Connecticut.
