I recently saw the most talked-about ghost flick of the season, Paranormal Activity. Let me just say, had it not been for the documentary fliming style and the night vision, I would've been completely content with another thriller flick. HOWEVER, I was just simply freaked the hell out the entire movie.
The story is disturbing and the night vision shots are just plain scary. Congratulations Oren Peli, you scared the crap out of me. Normally I would sleep soundly at night, but after seeing this film I wake up at every creak, tap, AC power... you name it. It's been a long time since I have not been able to sleep at night due to a scary film, so kudos...
The film focuses on a couple who is documenting their paranormal findings in their home for their own sake so they know for a fact they are not going crazy. Micah buys a camera and records his girlfriend, Katy and his days throughout the day and night. When things continue to go 'bump' in the night (UNDERSTATEMENT!), Micah feels its best to antagonize the "spirit" to get it to communicate. After several pleads from his girlfriend to leave the spirit alone and turn the camera off, things take a turn for the worse and every belief they had about the other side is changed forever.
The film is shot documentary style and this increases people's ability to believe this film and all its glory is legit and the couple's house is possessed. I suggest not seeing this movie alone and not sleeping alone afterward... I'm still trying to get over it!
