Paranormal Activity Reviews

One of the most polarizing movies to come out last year. People either hated this one or loved it. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it, turn out all the lights, turn the sound up to movie theatre volume and give it your full attention. I was sold on this movie thru and thru. I think the film makers did danm near everything really, really well. The girl gives a fantastic performance precisely because at no point does it feel like she is performing. She is so natural, and so devoid of self-consciousness in front of this hand-held camera, it's unreal. It's as though it has never occurred to her that audiences are going to watch this someday. I wasn't bored at all while watching this. Rather, I felt like a privledged viewer, excited to see what happens next. The film wisely relies on subtlety, and strikes a eerie, menacing tone. It creeped my shit out.
