My Paranormal Activity

Halloween is just around the corner and what's the best way to welcome Freddy Kruger, Jason and the rest of the gang but to watch another Horror Film that can stimulate our fear hormones to its peak.
Paranormal Activity it is.

Waking up with a bad dream seems to be a prelude to this film experience. I downloaded the film thru limewire and after 1 whole day of waiting, finally I dare myself to watch it.

It gave me the feel of 1999's super blockbuster indie-film but released by Artisan, The Blair Witch Project. Though it broke my neck watching the film, it was enticingly a new theme and technique of film making, indie and reality-amateurish type. It worked right? many thought that the blair witch project really happened, only after the film was shown and millions of bitches watched it, then all news came that it is really a film, made to amuse and to earn bucks.

Oh well, another came in which made news and even won an award, Screamfest. Filmed in 2007 but released two years after but still maintained and surpassed its "screamabilty" to its audience.

The film tells a young couple suspects that their house is haunted by a malevolent entity. They set up video surveillance to capture evidence of what happens at night as they sleep. Their surveillance and home videos have been edited into the 99 minute feature film "Paranormal Activity".

The entire film was done in one week.

If I were you, don't watch it alone, I did and it scared the hell out of me...

Happy Halloween!

Ciao!
