Last night Alredo (Culture Shock) was telling us how we must see Paranormal Activity because it seriously the scariest movie he's ever seen. I'm definitely always up for a good scare, but after reading over Thomas Phantom's blog about it, I'm starting to have second thoughts. Here's a few experts from the Phantom blog:
If you haven’t heard about PA… its already being called the scariest movie to ever play on the big screen. Small production, $15K budget, shot in 7 days, no-name actors, a little Blair Witch flair to it. Its slowly being released in cities with high demand (demand it on their website) thus almost guaranteeing sold out shows.
Synopsis
Soon after moving into a suburban tract home, Katie (Katie Featherston) and Micah (Micah Sloat) become increasingly disturbed by what appears to be a supernatural presence. Hoping to capture evidence of the haunting on film, Katie and Micah set up video cameras in their home, but they are not prepared for the terrifying occurrences which follow.
After being a bit pumped up to see this… I’m having second thoughts after reading some user reviews off Fandango (HAHA I get scared easily). I’ve pasted some excerpts here…
“At the start of the movie, you can’t wait for the night scenes, by the end, you want a break from the night scenes.”
“When the movie ended, people were running out of the theatre and others were crying. Best Scare flick ever…”
“So I hate scary movies in the first place, and I have trouble sleeping after watching them, but this movie was completely different. In fact, I haven’t been able to sleep in my bed for the past few nights- I sleep on the floor, on the couch; basically anywhere that doesn’t have bedsheets.” (WTFFF)
“When they say in the preview that people walk out “visibly shaken’ they weren’t lying.”
“The entire audience was right there sitting in complete silence watching the events unfold. Until something scary happened on screen, and then it was screams galore! lol. But the ending!!! Ugh! My all time FAVorite ending of any scary movie I’ve ever seen. Wow! I don’t think there was one person who didn’t react to this ending”
“There’s certain movies in history that will affect people forever. Take Jaws for instance. Because of that one movie, people are STILL afraid to get into the ocean and swim. THIS movie is the same way. Turning your lights off and going to bed will never be the same again for me. This movie truly stays with you. It’s kind of a strange thing to recommend to someone to go see this movie because it’s kind of like saying “Hey, go play in heavy traffic! It’s really fun, but you’ll probably get hit by a car and be permanently damaged!” But trust me, go see this movie, ESPECIALLY if you like scary flicks. And go see it with a big crowd. Everyone terrified together makes it even more awesome!”
I’m going to end on that one.
