Paranormal Activity

This movie has made over 100 million since its full release in the US. Consider it having only a budget of $10,000 to make, it is the most profitable film ever.

The movie try to scare the shit out of the audience with 2 spine chilling theme, one is are things happening when you sleep ? Though towards the end, it even happens when you do not sleep.


The second is depicting some force or entity trying to do something. Comparing to the thai Shutter, this still lose out, probably because it does not really have a plot and twists.

It is shot in documentary style with the main guy Micah setting up a video camera in the house. Objective is to capture or verify the wierd things happening in the house or more specifically to his girlfriend, Katie. It seems these strange things has happened to her since she was young. The initial 15/20 mins was simply just trying to either lengthen the around 90 mins movie or setting the mood. Also introducing the only other character in the movie, this demonlogist, some Dr. He came over and explain what could be the probable reasons, this happened before all the creepy things got captured on camera.

The last 10/15 mins was quite creepy though. One scene was somehow surprisingly "hiong" as the previous night scenes with the video camera capturing their sleeps seems tamed. It captured Katie being dragged out of bed and the room's door and towards another room. Micah did grab her back in time. 7/10
