The hype of this movie draws comparisons to "The Blair Witch" project which was a horror film that duped everyone into believing it was true. The premise of the movie is based on a couple in California that is haunted and they decide to record everything to see if the occurrences are paranormal activity or some other circumstance. Needless to say, there were a lot of things that went bump in the night that caused the audience to scream.
Now the film is not meant to be an Oscar winning piece, so do not expect Academy Award winning acting or cinematography. However, you can expect to jump, scream and laugh a lot throughout this film. The best part of the film will be how the audience reacts to the unraveling events on the screen. We saw people getting up running out of the movie, you heard whimpering from both men and women, plus at the end of the movie you could see some people were visbily shaken. Yep, I don’t scare easily, but I watched parts of the film through the cracks of my fingers lol. I will admit it made me scream like a school girl a few times lol. I guess one can say that the best summation for this movie is it’s comparable to riding a pretty cool roller coaster. After the first run, you may just want to ride it again and again.
It’s hard to run a play by play synopsis of this movie without completely giving the film away, but I will say “Paranormal Activity” does a great mental job on whoever is watching. I listened to the skeptics saying it was whack, not worth the money, yada, yada, yada, but the funny thing is these same skeptics are jumping and hollering in the movie. If you enjoy a film that will make you scream, twist your mental like a pack of Twizzlers, and has climatic parts that will draw you deeper and deeper in, then you will probably want to see this movie. If you are an analytic person that can not enjoy anything without breaking it down, then pass on this movie and go watch a documentary on wild boars.
Paranormal Activity is crazy fun, entertaining and just may have you sleeping with the lights on for a few nights lol. Enjoy it and share your experiences on the film here.

LOL! I totally agree. My 2 cents: That movie deserves at least 4 stilettos - esp for its purpose; like you said its not meant to be an Oscar winning movie but instead to entertain. I have been feening for a good scary movie without always the choice of Saw part 87 and this served its purpose. One thing you didn't touch on that I would love to mention is the fact that a lot of critics said it was too slow. Let me say this one last time, it had to build you up...I mean, seriously you think all those people would have been that scared if it just jumped right into the scary parts. I loved the build up, the plot and the frickin Psychic was classic LMAO! It was believable yet unfortunate for her, but I definitely enjoyed this flick.
