Thoughts On Paranormal Activity

Me thought it was scary. Definitely needed a blanket for that movie. My friends house he just moved into is really old. Like from 1800's old or something like that. Very haunted. We hear noises and he and another friend saw a black figure run past through the hallway from downstairs.

I loved it. I thought it was genuinely scary, as opposed to jumpy scary (as in things jumping out screaming). The slow build up of the "paranormal activity" occurring in the house made things incredibly creepy, as opposed to making me jump out of my seat. They did really, really well, because I bought in to everything they gave me (until the end). Overall, I loved it.



Now, for SPOILERY details: (Avert your eyes, you've been warned)

When I say "I bought" everything, I mean that I took everything the demon was doing as "real" (in the terms of the movie). Even when the demon grabs Kate and pulls her out of the bed, I bought it. Maybe it was the slow build up, or something else entirely, but while I was sitting there watching it, I bought in to everything. That is, until the end.
Now, regarding the ending, ugh. I think they could have cut off the last 30 seconds and it would have been that much scarier. From the moment Micha gets thrown at the camera, I stopped buying in to all the paranormal stuff. Having Kate walk downstairs, begin screaming, Micha wake up in a start, run downstairs, and then hear the struggle and the heavy footsteps up the stairs, then cut to black/the title cards saying he was found and she's missing would have been sooooo creepy.
That being said (having read the alternate endings online), the ending they went with that's in theaters now is by far the least interesting because it is so far over the top, which clashes with the rest of the film. Edited by garykainz

Really fucking stupid.

Word +1, this was seriously one of the stupidest movies I have seen in awhile. After all the hype, I was expecting something good, and it turned out being fucking stupid. I gave up watching it after like 30 min because i was so bored with it. I came back and watched the end, still fucking boring.


Honestly, I don't like watching my own home movies, let along someone elses. Ya ya ya, it wasn't homemade, it was made to look that way. No difference in my opinion, i don't like homemade movies and this one looks homemade. I can't believe people are actually paying to see this thing. (btw, I didn't pay to see it, my roommates pirated a copy, which in my opinion isn't even worth the disc he used to pirate it.)
