Paranormal Activity

[Special]

Indeed made for $15,000 and shot in the director's (I use that word loosely) house. The film is 2 years old and had been touring festivals, sat on the shelf and then got picked up for distribution. Its success is all thanks to Twitter. Don't bet that the few involved in the production are getting much money at all - they would have probably signed a weak deal out of desperation to get the film out there, so 99 percent of the money will be the distributor's.

I didn't like it because it didn't affect me. I didn't jump once, and that's all the entire film relies on. It's like The Blair Witch Project - if it doesn't scare you, it's got sod all else to utilise to entertain, although Blair Witch is in fact a rip-off.

I'm happy for the film-makers and it's a big gold star for independent cinema, but I'm really sick to death of the cinema verite style of film-making now. It's been milked heavily in the last 2 years.

Also, the ending shown in cinemas and DVD is a happier Hollywood ending shot recently. There are 3 endings in total, and the original is far bleaker.

yet again...

This film was good, however the first half dragged a bit because not much happened. The seocnd half was much better. Not really a horror though, much more of a 'jumpy' film. worth watching if youre bored though

No but honestly this 'film' is an aberration.

Opening 10 minutes bored the hell out of me so i turned it off

[emotional]

it's alright, i saw it today. i kinda like the story line, but it seems to start off slowly, and then end pretty quick.

i did like the whole shooting with one camera, though.

oh, but it did only have 3 characters.
