The hyped up film of the minute! So does it live up to the trailers, to all the American’s shown jumping out of their skin in a film screening?
Well, I can say that half way through the film the room started giggling...now don't presume things. We all laughed because it was a scary bit and a woman at the front screeched "Can't you just make it f**k off!" Quite amusing really =)
Paranormal Activity is interesting and gripping at times, but takes a while to get into it. Don’t worry, it’s still good while it’s building up. As most of you know, if you’ve seen the trailer or seen a poster, the film is about a couple, Micah and Katie, and Katie believes that something haunts her, and has done since she was 8.
They get buy a camera, and take it around the house with them, (much to the annoyance of Katie) setting it upon a tri-pod while they sleep. The whole film is shown through the prospective of this camera, so most cinemas warn of motion sickness, though I think the affect adds greatly to the films suspense.
It begins by catching normal activity during the day, to small unexplained noises at night, resulting in a medium visiting the house. The unexplained noises grow to unexplained incidents, their severity increasing every time, with occurrences getting weirder and stronger in negativity.
I found it less jumpy than I expected, though I would say that it is good at gripping the audience. You’re on edge, waiting for something to happen. I thought it was a very well made film, and the ending is great! I’d definitely say it’s worth seeing =D
ok, so it's supposed to be a little scary then, right?
ReplyDeleteBut that trailer for the film is clearly BULL. 'The first audience' had clearly been slipped a few dollars to go crazy at every little thing. It was like they were on the world's biggest roller coaster and no film can do that!
but i admit i haven't seen it yet so i don't know for sure that my pants would remain unsoiled. My friends who have don't reckon that much to it though!
This film was really good, have you heard about the alternative endings?
ReplyDeleteApparently Speilberg came up with the cinema one and in the original she stabs Mika with a knife and gets shot by the police.
The sound effects in the film are proper scary!
