Paranormal Activity



This is a horror story that has been around in the US for ages, and has only just come over to the UK (like most stuff - we are always last :( ). This horror story has been hyped up by critics to be one of the scariest films in America, so lets see if its as scary as people are making it out to be.
Honestly, I had found some mixed reviews about Paranormal Activity before I had watched the film; it was on Odeon's official website though, so i wasn't that fussed.
The movie is based upon a couple, named Katie and Micah, of which the girl has been haunted since she was 8 years old.
Micah has bought a camera to provide some freaky evidence about the ghostly goings on in their home and is a TRUE STORY. ALL OF THE FOOTAGE IS AMATEUR AND ONLY EDITED TO CUT IT DOWN TO A FILM.
It starts off just like any other horror movie really, nothing much going on at the start, but very quickly paces up and is truely horrifing.
I really don't want to ruin this shit-scary film for all you movie-goers. So i'l try to keep as much of the story inside my tiny head.
You can say that this film is very much like the Blair Witch Project, all amateur footage with some freaky shit along the way. There are some moments throughout the film where I didnt believe that it was amateur but it seems so! Ermmm, along with alot of scary, make-you-jump moments is a tad of comedy (you'll find it when you watch!) I urge you not to watch the trailer, you will just be waiting for those moments to come up instead of true fear which I am still trying to recover from.
Paranormal Activity is certainly one of the scariest films I ever have watched. Its so fucked up! I certainly won't be sleeping tonight so it gets 5/5 stars! WATCH IT!

EDIT: Damn it, just found out that paranormal activity is not a true story :(. Seems very much like it though when you watch the film!!
