This review may turn out to be short, but I just saw this film yesterday and I feel obligated to write something about it.

Paranormal Activity started as a low-budget film with limited release. The movie received such praise from critics that it released nationwide where it seems to be suffering from some criticism, criticism that I say is truly unfair. People expect this film to be scary like... ugh... I don't even know any good scary movies to name because every horror film these days sucks... idk, a scary movie like the Ring or the Grudge. But like I said those two movies were god awful... I'm sort of talking in circles here, but what I'm trying to say is this movie wasn't trying to be frightening as in, makes you jump. This movie was frightening because it was real. And no I don't mean the story was real, I mean the acting and presentation of the film presented such a realism that the environment was frightening. In order to fall into the mood of the film however, you need to allow yourself too. If your some idiot who goes into the film and sits and goes pssh this isn't scary, well than you won't be afraid of it because you will instinctively reject the realism of it. I don't know if any of that made sense... but I'll go back to reviewing as normal now.

The acting in this film was top notch. There were only four actors and only two of them had a good amount of screen time. They did a great job setting the scene and reacting the ways that a person would react to such events in real life. The acting may seem a bit corny at times but honestly, that just added to the realism as well.

The film revolves around a demon that haunts this couple. Technically he only haunts the girlfriend, but the boyfriend gets dragged in as well. The girl attempts to convince her spouse that she hears noises and voices and such at night so the boyfriend agrees to buy a camera and sound system to record them while they sleep. So there is our movie, the only camera angles we get are the ones the bf tries to show us. Granted this leads to some awkward camera angles but again, this adds to its realism.

The film really just builds up to the ending. While most of the scenes in the film were interesting, you are never really frightened and you almost always ask for more then just the door slamming or banging on the walls. All the same, the scenes are still enjoyable, but like I said, you always want more. Then comes the last 10 minutes of the film. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the end of this film is so well done that it may be one of the best endings of all time. I won't spoil anything but this scene is not only frightening, but is also exhilarating. I do recommend that everyone sees this movie and if they can to see it in theaters. I was very very pleased. This movie may be my favorite horror movie of all time, at least in the top three.

Well Collie decided to tag me and I'll play along haha.
