complex Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 saw this flick last night. id say the reason it could cause a fright is because all the stuff that happens in their sleep is slightly plausible. ie the standing, mind making you think you feel breathing etc it was funny how much they tried to make it seem real with the no credits ordeal or no intro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BELTOLEUM Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I went into this movie thinkin it would be terrifying and expecting to be jumping from "how scary it is" You have to be a pussy to get scared from the movie only thing that should make you jump is toward the end...not even scary just startles you. Besides that this is one of the shittiest movies ive ever seen really upset that i paid 10 for that movie when jumped once and laughed at most of the scary parts cause they were cheesy really dont waste your money on this movie Also why did everyone think this movie was real?

Gnarly Sheen Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Saw this last night.... I was startled by loud noises and slamming doors. I was also sick by the end of the movie with a pounding head ache and a upset stomach. That shit made me too nauseous. Don't go see it, wait for torrent or dvd.

MAR Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 That's Entertainment! The strange trip of "Paranormal Activity" Low-budget hit thrives in unique market strategy By Jimmy Gilmore Staff Write “Paramormal Activity,” filmed on a $15,000 budget, is seeing success through grassroots advertising. It’s nearly Halloween, and that means it’s time for the studios to churn out a couple of run-of-the-mill torture slashers, recoup their costs, and call it a day. All of them except Paramount and Dreamworks SKG, who have been running an abnormally stealthy campaign on a super-low-budget horror film, “Paranormal Activity,” making a ploy for it to be the most successful horror film since “The Blair Witch Project.” The much-hyped film, shot on a shoestring budget of only $15,000, premiered on only 800 screens to a stunning $20.2 million weekend gross. Though it’s poised to be one of the sleeper hits of the season, the film itself has had a complicated journey, with a unique distribution strategy that has served as one of its major drawing points. Three years ago, director Oren Peli shot a movie on digital video cameras in one week. The film, about a couple trying to document and expel spirits haunting their home, used complete unknowns and tried to capture a realistic situation as best as possible. “Paranormal Activity” scored a slot at the 2007 Screamfest Horror Film Festival and the Slamdance Film Festival in early 2008, but it remained without a distributor to send it out to theaters until Paramount and Dreamworks SKG tried to negotiate a feature length remake on a large budget. Then, according to a Sept. 20 article in Los Angeles Times, Peli urged Dreamworks production chief Adam Goodman to hold a test screening in March 2008. When several audience members literally left the theater in terror, the studios’ interest in distributing the original film immediately rocketed. Most movies with a limited release premiere in big cities like New York and Los Angeles and then expand in a pre-determined pattern. The producers of “Paranormal Activity” took a slightly different approach, releasing the movie in a dozen university areas on September 25 and selling out multiple shows. The producers next tried to market the film through an online petitioning system, where viewers would have to “demand” the film in order for it to be shown in their area. After an expansion to 20 locations on Oct. 2 and another limited expansion on Oct. 9, Paramount has now pushed the film into a wider release, with golden results. “Paranormal Activity” bears talking about because Paramount’s ploy succeeded — by withholding the film and making fans demand it the studio forced audiences to think of it as a word-of-mouth discovery, despite its viral marketing. Considering that horror is a genre that relies heavily on audience manipulation for maximum effect, it’s shocking how poorly studios market their thrillers and how pedestrian their executions usually are. It seems that too often they are simply thrown off the shelf for middling consumption, a kind of junk food no one takes seriously. So this Halloween, take a chance on a film that barely made it to theaters, on a horror that’s trying to do something different, and on a studio that brought back a marketing strategy that’s almost antiquated for horror movies. The saga of “Paranormal Activity” is one of those rare stories where a filmmaker found something primal in his material. He dared a studio to believe his film was scary. They bought it. But, more importantly, they bought it because of the audience. That’s Entertainment. ya'll got played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I never said I was cool. Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Since we're onthe topic of "fake documentries," this one looks slightly interesting. Althought I'm sure it's gonna suck. The Poughkeepsie Tapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fondles Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I enjoyed it for what it was, got some chills a couple times. But it's not a jump in your seat kind of movie, it doesn't use sound effects/background music to set moods, it's a more organic development of disturbances that get more frequent and violent. For $5 I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francis buxton Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think this movie will serve as a dividing line for me. If I meet someone who thinks this movie is "Ok" I will know that they have no idea what a good movie is. If I meet someone who thinks this movie is "Good" I'll know that they have no brain in their head and should probably be sterilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
