The bed scene gave me a chill down my spine.

I will be seeing this as soon as I can. You can count on that. I haven't seen a good horror movie in a long, long, long time.

Drag Me To Hell! It was awesome!
I'm looking forward to this too, but it's getting quite limited releases, probably have to be dvd for me. Get your friends to spam this website (http://eventful.com/performers/paranormal-activity-/P0-001-000212499-6/competitions). Shame decent horror gets sidelined while cookie cutter chick flicks get worldwide support.

I personally think the entire paranormal phenomena theory is bull****. Not saying that movie doesn't look interesting though, cause it does.

Guess who got to see it early?
It's too bad it's not getting the attention it deserves. I had to goto NYC to see it last month.

I have a friend that works for a video production company that is a sister company to the one that worked with the director.

Is this supposed to be based off of a true story and why is it in only select theaters?

I would imagine its only in select theaters because it doesn't have that big of a backing from a distribution company. There are tons of movies that go to select theaters. We have a theater locally that picks up movies just for this. :P

Thats because there hasnt been a true really good horror movie in years. Some people say that the best horror movies are from now days when in reality they ll just epicly fail for the most part.
Im excited to see that flick though. if it lets me down ill get sad

It's playing by me. Don't watch it with a girl unless you WANT to have huge scratches running down your arm. Just sayin haha

I agree with Pure, that paranormal shit is completely BS. But I will still see it when it comes out on DVD.

i saw it last week. if ur looking for constant action this movie is a verry slow building suspense. supposedly there are 3 endings but the one i saw was freaky and there isnt much variation.
It takes the creepyness of your house and does make you hear stuff and freak out afterwards and it took me an extra hour or 2 to get to sleep that night.
It was the best paranormal movie i had seen and if u live alone good luck getting to bed after u see it.
Edit: if you have people talking behind you early on tell them early to shut the f*** up because the people behind us were ruining suspence moments that would have been awesome.

Saw it to via internet.
Thought it was good, and people who are open to believing in the "possibility" of this kind of stuff being real, will like it more!

If you weren't open to the likes of the first Blair witch movie then yes you most likely will not like this.
I think there's different types of people out there, some will love it, and some won't.
I can't blame you for not liking it, you kind of had to let your mind go there and feel what they were feeling. Set yourself in a dark room alone to watch it. More or less pretend...you know...imagination. But like I said, some people can do this and enjoy it, some think to factually when it comes to movies and can't wrap their mind around what the director's trying to do.
either way I respect your opinion, to me it wasn't the best, but it was something worth watching if you like that sort of thing.
Factual thinker Thumbs down!
Open minded person Thumbs up!
FYI, I'm not just directing this at you Horror, just putting in my 2 cents:notworthy:

Really? Most people who have seen it and I've asked have said it was amazing. The Blair Witch Project was ANYTHING but. A bunch of kids in the woods with a video camera and someone chasing them.

Just wait for the "The Fourth Kind" movie, it's gonna be freakyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
OcR Horror

Fourth Kind looks interesting. The trailer is creepy and it's apparently based on true events. Fingers crossed!
The thing with Paranormal Activity was that it just failed to maintain any kind of tension. They had some great scenes like the ouija board and the various nighttime occurrences, but nothing ever came of them and they were broken up by the two idiot main characters acting like it was a minor irritation and the boyfriend making out like he was gonna go beat a ghost up. I watched it alone in my apartment at like 1am and was bored throughout. Blair Witch got tense to the point of being unbearable, and the last few minutes were a lesson in great horror. Paranormal Activity farted it's whole setup into the wind with a completely dumb ending.
It wasn't a particularly bad movie, I'm just lamenting the waste of a good opportunity. If the characters weren't so annoying and unsympathetic and the ending didn't blow as hard I'd have enjoyed it loads more I reckon. Hopefully they'll put the original ending on the dvd.

I too am looking forward to the fourth kind. Much like Horror, my fingers are crossed. I was also really disappointed with this movie, don't get me wrong I was cared at a couple of points but It wasn't all it was made out to be. Oh well.
