at least we will see it..i was starting to worry there

though another worry..... is it too hyped up now as some have come out apparently saying it wasn't near as good as they thought it would be? hope not

Let's hope it doesn't have a limited run in selected cinemas over here

Sometimes the hype is too much Luc....the ad people can go a bit overboard with their descriptions at times!

Paranormal Activity: My Review
I was pre-warned to keep the lights on or at least watch it through the day if possible but above all by no means was I to watch this movie alone! So it is with an air of excitement that can only be described as a big kid knowing he is breaking some rule somewhere that I sat in pure darkness at 3.30am all on my own to view Paranormal Activity.
First off it begins in the same way as 'Blair Witch' with words explaining the 'found footage' premise but it is more or less here where the resemblance ends and in fact I even felt there was no need to even have it in the first place...the film stands on its own and doesn't need to be interpreted or made into a true event/hoax. Its a pretty decent horror in
my opinion but I'm already positive others will disagree as its not your typical gore fest or special effects extravaganza instead its pyschological...a horror which utilises the viewers own imaginations to scare and it does this pretty well....

The acting of the two main characters is also very good in particular Katie Featherston though about a half hour in you start finding Micah a little annoying...an hour later you'll find him infuriating

as he never seems to do the right thing preferring to do or say the things that will freak his girlfriend out the most..... he appears completely oblivious of doing so too.

Did it live up to its hype?? Probably not... but was it ever going to? Yet its still a very good horror movie which left you kind of teasingly dreading the night camera moments..

Its a film that you can watch during the day with a load of mates ready to take the piss and be able to laugh your way through it but do it right in the darkest environment on your own ..or with others who are serious and Paranormal Activity comes into its own as a creepy...its a definitive Halloween night flick.....

There are two versions on the go with different endings....apparently Steven Spielberg after seeing it advised changing the ending to the one I seen....many are saying its better but after reading about the other ending I'd like to see it now

Summing up.... An unquiet atmospheric experience which will leave you rattled

It still looks good to me

I wonder if they'll put the alternate ending as a dvd extra?

I had read that a private screening for potential distributers for overseas markets, people were leaving half way through. One of the producers feared that they had a turkey on their hands and stopped one of the people leaving and asked if he was leaving because the film was bad and what could they do to change it. The man replied "it's not bad, it's just we're absolutely terrorfied!". Could be a true story, but just as easily a sneaky bit of publicity released to newspapers and websites as a "leak" to pique interest.
