Paranormal Activity

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Just got back about an hour ago. Fantastic movie. If you're thinking of watching it, go. Now. Stop thinking and find a late showing of it. If you can't see it tonight, go tomorrow night. But definately go at night, go in a little under the influence if that's your thing, and then go home and not sleep. I wasn't scared of the movie but I still thought it was damn entertaining. My wife, on the other hand, is wired.

freaked up movie...I tossed and turned all night last night. I actually didn't jump during the scary parts, but sitting in bed last night was messed up

I saw it. The chick is a lot like my ex, who while we were dating claimed that something was hovering over her bed while she was staying in Wilmington once. She was all into that kind of stuff.

It does what most good scary movies do, which is make you say "why are you doing that?" to one of the main characters throughout.

:eek: Saw this last night. There were a bunch of kids being loud, and at first it was annoying, but then I appreciated them for distracting me from being terrified. Haha. I also got full body chills 3 times.

It is a LOT like Blair Witch, only the characters aren't nearly as annoying.

Never saw Blair Witch, but I've heard that from others as well.

PS - Tell Saltwata I said whatup!

I'm waiting for someone to say they pooped on themselves before I watch it.

is it psychologically scary or "constant sudden loud noises" scary?

is it psychologically scary or "constant sudden loud noises" scary?

There are some very scary loud noises, especially toward the end, but most of the scare factor is creepiness. Like her standing by the bed for hours at a time staring at him while he sleeps, then unaware she did it in the morning.

The wife and I saw it this past weekend... I thought it was meh...

Overall, it was well done for it's budget and it earns every cent it makes...

The nitpicky things I saw, which can be attributed to the budget most likely but are sloppy film practices:

During parts of the dialogue, you can clearly see edit points... (IE someone is asked a question, and in the middle of their answer, their position changes just slightly...)

The psychic guy was obviously an actor... (IE he didn't sell the "realism" tone the film was shooting for)...

Overall, my picky rating is a 6/10... I just expected to be more "scared" I guess, and knowing it was fake to begin with didn't help...

Also, not really having a firm belief in the supernatural probably took away from the fun of it...

I think my wife was freaked out a little, and we had to spend the next two nights sleeping with the bedroom door closed, but other than that... it was "meh"....

I heard that Chuck Norris couldn't stop laughing. But everyone was afraid to ask him to leave.

Maybe he thought it was one of his own films, and that was what was so funny?

He wouldn't be laughing if I was there... He'd be cowering in the corner crying, just like you were when you got home from seeing this movie...

Wouldn't see this movie if someone had a gun to my head. Pretty sure it would make me sh*t my pants. I still haven't recovered from the Blair Witch movie. Johnny Rockets doesn't like scary.

But the victims are Cowboys fans.
