It's been a while since i talked about movies.
In Lieu of October, i would like to discuss PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

When i first saw the trailer i was instantly spooked and hooked, you have to vote "demand" it to come to your city, it was only playing in 12 cities a few weekends ago, i voted, it came to Philly. But for only 3 nights and only at 12:00 AM viewing!
I order my tix in advanced, and went last Friday. It's really hard for me to stay up past 12 on a week night. but i was determined, i even took a nap first. The theater was packed.
No opening or closing credits.
Scared the shit outta me, nothing since the Exorcist, Jaws, The Haunting of Emily Rose, and Blair Witch has done so yet to date. I haven't slept easy in about 3 nights.
every time i discuss the details i get goose bumps, the hair on my arm sticks straight up, i kid you not, i would take a pic if i didn't dread talking or seeing the movie clips again, parts of me have to shake off the 2 really scary parts.

this is a good review that covers it with out spoiling it.
best and shortest review

Trailer here


Rotten Tomatoes is giving it a high 90's rating, if you follow RT you know this is rare.

this movie has no tricks, no cgi, no special effects, it's a low budget indie flick costing about $15K to make.
of course you can see it on DVD soon enough but you won't get the effects of the audio and the audiences energy that feeds your fear.

Have you seen it?

No, but based on your recommendation I'll be checking it out. I love the creativity that can generate a full length feature on a shoestring budget, and scare the shit outta you.

Aside from the fact that I used to go camping with the boyscouts in woods that looked just like the ones in the movie, Blair Witch was scary as hell for me because it's low budget forced it to be more intelligent and realistic then the big budget hollywood movies that rely too much on effects. It looks like paranormal will have that same appeal and only made for $14,000 dollars. The best thing about movies like this is that when they cast it with unknowns, some of whom have no acting experince at all, the acting winds up being better.
