    Default Paranormal Activity

    It blew Blair Witch out of the water. I was genuinely entertained the entire time.

    That said, there were some issues with the logic of the characters and the pacing was a bit questionable at times. I liked that it managed to flirt with the horror cliches without becoming a cliche horror movie. I'm especially glad that they avoided the disturbing/gruesome/shock value horror.

    I've read reviews and heard people talking about how scary it was, and that's one thing I disagree with. Maybe I'm too cynical with the premise (a demon haunting a house), but I was never really scared; the intensity definitely built, but when the movie was resolved, I was able to leave it at the door. It wasn't like Psycho where the shower was slightly sketchy the next time you were in there.

    Yeah I don't ever get scared by movies anymore so I figured this wouldn't do anything for me. Although I'm not sure what you mean about Psycho, I would only ever worry about being in a shower if I was in a po-dunk motel room where I wasn't able to lock the bathroom door, it didn't do crap to scare me just taking regular showers (nor do I see how it could), and since I never have been in a weird motel like that, it didn't have any effect on me.

    Paranormal Activity scared the bejeezus out of me. The logical mind says that ghosts and demons aren't real, but my family insists the house I used to live in was haunted, and watching the movie, I was reminded of some of the weird shit that happened. Like, keys in the middle of the floor, spinning chandolier, loud footsteps all happened my old house.

    My sister said she didn't sleep the night she saw it but she's also kind of a sucker for these things.

    (It was probably because the dude who took her to the movie was banging her all night sigh I hope she's not a whore)

    I watched it the other day with the other ending and after hearing about the theater ending I think I would have rather had that. I liked the idea of the movie, but I think it could have been done better.

    It was contrived and ridiculous. It was never entertaining at any point. The characters were annoying. The story was weak.

    I thought this movie sucked shit.

    After hearing good things about this movie, I decided to take a look.

    While there were some generally spooky parts, overall I wasn't impressed. I hated Katie's character. Her acting was contrived and I just found her completely obnoxious. After a while, I just wanted it to be over.

    Also, how the hell can two people living together, one being a student and one being an "inside trader" have a beautiful huge house like that? Stupid shit like that completely draws my attention away from the plot.

    The version I saw had the original ending tacked on.

    dumb


    Not scary. Anti-climactic.

    The original ending was better.

    although


    Overall, I'd give this movie a 4/10 for great sound design and some generally creepy parts. Otherwise, I could have gone on with my life without ever seeing it. I personally liked Blair Witch Project much better because of its ambiguity, the acting, and the originality.

    Paranormal Activity was...

    Lame.

    she let me spill my seed inside of her without a prophylactic for a cheeseburger

    also her velvet sleeve felt a bit loose if you know what i'm sayin', and the slightly fishy odor left on my penis after taking it out suggested that mine wasn't the first goo to be spread around in there that day.

    You get the impression that he makes a lot of money. In the movie she asks him how much that camera cost him, and he replied with something like "about as much money as I made today". While that is probably a bit of an exaggeration, as the camera probably runs at least a thousand bucks, you get the impression that this is a six-figure income he has. That's why he has a big ass house.
