Paranormal Activity (2010)

OK, who else liked this film. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I loved the ending and can't wait for the sequel!

I thought it was a true story. It really did a good job of scaring me.

Poor quality, poor direction, poor acting, poor attempt.

I Give them an F- for this lack of effort.

Tried to watch it, then asked for my money back.

Enjoy!

Happy Joe - it was supposed to be like a doccie where nothing is rehearsed like a standard blockbuster. It was supposed to look homemade that's what made it so scary.

Well it failed, IMO, on all counts... not a movie that I cared for in any way.
...Probbly just me...

Enjoy!

I was so scared after the movie that I had to check the backseat of my car several times on the way home. I kept thinking I was going to get slaughtered. I was freaked out for a few days.

Hehe, I felt the same way about the Blair Witch Project. Couldn't see what was happening most of the time and got motion sickness from the bouncing camera and stupid story.

I've changed thread title from Parnormal Activity.

I've not heard of this, but I didn't like that aspect of Cloverfield either, so I probably won't rush out to see this.

I thought it was great, simply because it looked so genuine, and didn't have anything overly exaggerated (except the camera closeup at the end) which made everything pretty believable.

Thanks Dave, I noticed the typo but I didn't know how to change the thread title.

Directed by Oren Peli, Paranormal activity movie has it all what genuine horror addicts crave for. Whole story is about a couple who has shifted there house and then the strange things starts happening in their new house. So now i am waiting for its second part coming next month.

I heard they are going to follow the female character in the sequel. Should be interesting!

Thought it was pretty poor myself and the end was lame, really didn't find it scary at all

Wow, I can't believe that! It must have been the mood I was in the night I saw It. But the ending really did scare me!

I do love this film, this is finally the horror that actually creeps me out. I'm fed of of cheap scares through sudden music and stuff. This actually takes the time to build up the tension -- the repetition is amazing, until you're actively searching the screen for stuff yourself. And it also gets to the point, as with me and my friend, that you start saying "Ah, no, not again!" when you go back to the bedroom every night.

Definitely a film that has to be watched in the dark, with no interruptions.

Saw this with my girlfriend (whom is the scardiest cat you're ever likely to meet) and we both found it mildly entertaining. Of course, there are some really nice disturbing moments like her getting dragged around...but on the whole, not much going on.
What I do find interesting about this film is how creepy it is to think about it later on. You start analyzing the idea and you realize it's indeed a really scary thing...but while watching it doesn't do much for you.

I thought it was awesome- I thought the docu style really made it edgy and the ending (the UK ending, not the US ending which is widely different) actually made me jump in the air!

The UK ending is different? In what way?

Well I heard that the americans got treated to police being called out to investigate what went on-a rather lame ending compared to what I saw which made me jump out of my seat!

hmmm, I'm from New York and the version I saw didn't have that. I jumped out of my seat also at the end...One of the most shocking moments I've had watching a movie. I didn't see it coming at all.

Hmmm, must be at least 2 different versions released! I was told by a US member on goodreads that she saw the lame ending, and was surprised to find there was a scary ending!
