Paranormal Activity

Pros: Very realistic, excellent "acting" that did not seem like acting, scary as hell
Cons: None for me

I've heard that this movie was made for an unbelievably low $15,000.  It's been compared to "Blair Witch Project" and "Cloverfield".  I found the film superior to both of those movies.THE PLOTThe opening scene of the movie shows ...

Pros: Decent low budget effort
Cons: Slow pace, not very scary

Paranormal Activity Written & Directed by: Oren Peli I’d been greatly looking forward to seeing “Paranormal Activity” after waves of excitement were spreading around the country following its original 13 ...

Pros: A very effective thriller that's incredibly suspenseful
Cons: I was kinda disappointed by the ending

There's quite a few downsides to living in the cultural nightmare that is Williamsport, PA.  Aside from being about ten years or so behind culturally, the film scene in the area is rather pathetic; just about any theatrical release that I actually ...

Pros: Scary, Great Acting, Effects, Camera Work
Cons: Psychic, Boring beginning

I just got back from seeing the movie "Paranormal Activity," and it far exceeded my miniscule expectations. A lot of hyped movies have fallen flat, such as a similarly red hot release a few years ago, "The Blair Witch Project." I expected ...

Pros: Creepy, great do-it-yourself feel, doesn't hold back on the build up and suspense
Cons: The ending

I'm sure by now you've heard about this little horror film sweeping its way across America? Called Paranormal Activity? Cost about $15,000 to make, and then built up a great word of mouth campaign over two years before hitting a limited release, later ...

Pros: Decent script and acting, no graphic violence, surprisingly convincing special effects
Cons: Filming everything on one video camera becomes irritating after a while

Following on the tails of The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity is a simply produced horror suspense flick that does an excellent job of commanding the attention of its audiences. For the past couple of years, it has been making the ...

Pros: Micah & Katie's acting
Cons: Ho-hum boring!

As a person that is curious about all things paranormal, I couldn't wait to see Paranormal Activity.  Commercials screamed it was the scariest movie of all time, a definite must see and it would have me on the edge of my seat.  ...

Pros: Acting, staging of scariness, inventiveness on a low budget
Cons: Unsatisfying ending, running time shorter than I would've liked

Much hype and talk has been made about Oren Peli's "Paranormal Activity" and it's been heavily marketed as the first movie in which moviegoers are responsible for it's release in movie theaters.  It's attracted the college crowd more than anyone ...

Pros: suspenseful, frightning, definitely scary.
Cons: rough beginning, a touch unrealistic here and there.

There is a term for low budget movies that cost little to make, and against all odds, blow up into huge gross-ers. “Sleepers” is the term. An example: the 1999 Blair Witch Project. Opinions differ on the quality of the film, but it cost a ...

Pros: Interesting, unexpected ending
Cons: poor audio

After hearing all the hype about how "Paranormal Activity" was the scariest movie ever, I finally decided to go see it. The entire movie takes place in a young couples home. Everything you see in the movie is through the lense of a video ...

Pros: If there were any I couldn't find them no matter how hard I looked.
Cons: This movie was one big con, in every and any sense of the word.

I never would have thought a horror/ thrill film could be boring but this one has proven the possibility beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Imagine The Blair Witch Project meets The Exorcist, but without the special effects.  I ...

Pros: Gives hope to indie film makers
Good use of staionary cam
Cons: Not a well put together film on any level.

As an independent film maker, I myself was excited for Paranormal Acitivity and the hype that surrounded it. That being said, when I saw the movie it was an enourmous letdown. The poor audio quality and lack of a backstory until the middle of the movie ...

Pros: Move is done as a sort of documentary which works very well.
Cons: If you can't relate to this, or have a good imagination, then don't see this.

This movie was good as long as you don't expect too much of it. People normally go into a scary movie and expect sudden frights, something popping out at them and loud noises. This movie does the exacy opposite. It uses your mind against you, as long as ...

Pros: So realistic
Cons: Not actually a completely true story but based on true events

This movie was so realistic, and bone chilling that I almost jumped out of my seat when my boyfriend touched me. Seeing some of the scenes honestly made me wonder if the movie was real or not. I actually saw one woman leave the theatre because she could ...

Pros: Creepy film founded on a great idea, good acting, plenty of jumps and tense moments.
Cons: Few farfetched moments spoilt the subtle idea, few cliched and obvious fishing-line-used moments.

I've just got back from the first screening of Paranormal Activity in the city. It's a film about a healthy, happy young couple who have been together for three years and have moved in to a large three bedroom house. What Katie (the girlfriend) has ...
