MOVIE REVIEW
Paranormal Activity
A FUCKING F+
OMFG, where do I start. I really want to talk about the ending first, but we will progress through the movie. This movie is about a demon that follows, terrifies, possesses and controls this ho named Katie. Her boyfriend Micah buys a bunch of equipment like a video camera, evp recorder and some other shit to record the paranormal activity. Side note - Katie didn't tell Micah about this wild shit before she moved into a home with him.
Before I seen this movie, I was told that I had to be patient with the movie. I was told that this movie was scary. They told me this is based on a true story.
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
The movie didn't get interesting until the last 10 minutes of the movie. I thought the movie was setting up for a big finish....
WRONG again
In an effort not to be the jerk that everyone knows me to be, lets just say that Katie did not do a great acting job. Fuck it, the bitch sucked. She wasn't convincing at all. Micah did a great job on the other hand. He made the audience laugh. He made the audience relate to what was going on. and he was the one who held the camera for most of the film.
The best part of the scene happened about 20 minutes before the flic was over. The demon pulled Katie out of the bed and dragged her out of her bedroom and down the hallway. Micah jumped up and wrestled Katie away from it. This 15 seconds of the film was something to talk about. Random shout out to whoever created that camera magic. Throughout the movie, you do not actually see the demon. You see his shadow. You see his footprints. You see his bite marks. But you do not see this invisible presence dragging Katie down the hallway.
Okay, I'm jumping to the last scene. Normally I wouldn't tell you what happened, I would say go see the movie. BUT, this isn't the case. Don't go see this piece of shit film. Final scene, this demon possessed ho wakes up and just stands up staring at her boyfriend. Then the demon pulls the covers off of Micah who is still sleeping. After a couple hours of just standing and staring, she walks downstairs and starts screaming. Micah, runs downstairs but leaves the camera behind. Then the screaming stops and it gets silent. The viewer is still in the room waiting to find out what happens. This you hear footsteps. Then Micah's body is thrown at the camera. With, demonic movement, Katie walks over to make sure that Micah is dead before jumping at the camera lens.
This is the first time that I witnessed the entire theater still seated when the movie ended. It wasn't because they were shocked. It wasn't because they were scared. It was because everyone was still waiting for more. No one could believe that they wasted their money and saturday night. no one could believe that the movie was really over.
Yahoo movies gave Paranormal Activity a B+ and Law Abiding Citizen a C-. How the hell could this have happened? I'm in the movie theaters a lot, so I will give you the true movie grades.
lmao. Your review had me dying. But i liked the movie. And i dont think its really scary but it freaked the shit out of me. When he was thrown at the camera I literally jumped out of my seat...it was crazy. And my theatre experience was different. The people were screamin and shit, the men more than the women. This one boy in front of me had his feet straight in the air with a horrid look on his face repeating "Oh shit" the last 10 minutes of the movie. lol, it could hv ended better, but i didnt feel it was a waste of money.
