Well i guess it was just a matter of time for this one. I mean, it's supposed to be the scariest movie ever right? I am just looking for the scariest movie and never find it. I had mild hopes for this one because of the reviews.
Let me start by saying its a brilliant film. It's brilliant because it only costs 15,000 dollars to make and it's going to make hundreds of millions. It's also brilliant because it gets such a strong reaction out of people for almost no money. Saying that, i wasn't very scared. That may have more to do with me than anything but it has WAY to much hype. It was my favorite horror movie of this year until i just saw Saw VI which was a better film. Now before this movie i can't even remember a good horror film i saw this year so it doesn't have much competition. I guess drag me to hell came out this year. That was a lot of fun but really campy. This was more serious and while i liked what they did for the money i didn't love the movie. I don't want to give to much away but some of it was just ridiculous and not in a good way. The BEST parts were when she would stand over the bed. That was pretty creepy and good writing.
Overall, i did enjoy myself so i will give it a 6 out of 10. As far as what they were able to accomplish though it gets a 10 out of 10. I am sure we will see a bunch of these microbudget movies coming out and the rest will probably be terrible.

Yeah I enjoyed it for what it was. People were flipping out the first time her standing there took part. They thought the fast forwarding was in real time haha.
I just watched this and if I can be completely honest... I hated it. I mean I really hated it. It wasn't even a good story and 80% of the film involves the couple talking about the "paranormal activity". On top of that the 80% of their babbling is really, really bad acting. I hated both of them and wished the ghost, demon, or whatever it was would have killed them earlier - especially the dude because his delivery of the dialogue felt so forced. Honestly, I really wanted to like this film because I enjoy this do-it-yourself style of filmmaking that is popular these days. However, Paranormal Activity's style of DYI is just bad. Avoid this film!!!
