Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity is a film about a young middle class couple (Micah, and Katie), who moves in together in a suburban home. While they are here they become increasingly bother by some sort of entity in the home, that’s most active in the middle of the night. You find out that the entity is some sort of demon that’s following the lady of the house (Katie), and it gets more angry with the man (Micah).

Paranormal Activity is a psychological thriller. It isn’t necessarily the type of film that would scare you while watching it, but at the screening I went to see many people were jumping and screaming in there seats, heck I even jumped once. A lot of people are saying it isn’t a scary movie, and I do understand what they are saying, but in my opinion I’d beg the differ. This being a psychological film, it can have a similar effect on people that The Exorcist had on many Catholics. While watching the movie you may not be scared but later on when you’re alone home, you might thing that the sound of your house settling, may not be your house settling. At least that’s just my opinion on how the film works. You watch it and it lingers with you later on when you decide to go to sleep, almost taking you back to a childhood when you were afraid of the boogieman.

My final review of the film is I give it an 8 out of 10. The film keeps you on your seat, the whole time, and it really does linger with you later. So if you’re a fan of Ghost Hunters and anything of that sort, go and see Paranormal Activity, I believe you’d really enjoy it.
