From a review (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/film/4320/review):

"Paranormal Activity is one of the scariest movies of all-time. YOU WILL BE AFFECTED as it’s hard to ignore the imprint it leaves on your psyche. You know it’s fake, and yet, you can’t shake it. Nightmares are guaranteed."

SkinnyPupp
10-10-2009, 10:59 PM
A movie can only be truly scary if the viewer has a vivid imagination. People like KuSoul do not possess the psyche necessary to fully enjoy this type of movie (not that there's anyhting wrong with that, just that we're all different)

I watched Salo on Blu-Ray, and I think its reputation leads it to seem more disturbing than it really is. The fact that someone thought about writing that book on one long piece of paper while in a prison/insane asylum is what disturbed me most :lol

i don't see how people can find movies that are not supernatural to be scary.

i mean, slasher movies (any movie where the "bad guy" is human(s)), aren't that scary because you know you would act differently or you are able to flee or fight back in different ways, even if you fail, the pain and death you suffer is not something unimaginable.

shit with ghosts/monsters/demons or whatever the fuck, strikes fear into me because of the unknown, the lack of knowledge known to stop these kinda things, even though i don't believe in that shit, your imagination just gets you, ya know?

i mean, what the fuck happens to the people in the grudge? i mean, wtf? WHERE THE FUCK DO THEY GO? u cant hide from that shit! what about the ring? those people's faces looked so fucked up, the fear that strikes them is beyond human comprehension. it's scary. it's scary cuz you can't stop it. not even with a fucking nuke.

i mean it really comes down to this, what's more scary, a psycho out to get you, or some supernatural scary being out to get you.

but you know, who ya gonna call?

SkinnyPupp
10-11-2009, 07:15 AM
I think the issue with Eden Lake is the overall feeling of dread and hopelessness. Sometimes supernatural doesn't work.. IMO in the cave movie (forget the name) from a couple years ago, it worked better before the zombies started showing up. Or when there was just a hint that there may be something lurking in the dark.

Paranormal Activity did really well at the film festivals. They decided to show it in 30 something cities for midnight shows and it grossed more than half a million. This weekend it's playing at even more theatres and at more times but I haven't heard anything about Vancouver (or Montreal where I am). There is some kind of campaign where you can demand it play at a theatre near you and if there is enough demand they will show it. It's supposed to come out on DVD soon though anyway so you won't have to wait too long.

The hype isn't so much that it's the scariest movie ever but that it's so scary and made for only $10,000 or so. It's kind of like the blair witch project except good.

Yeah the audience is kind of ridiculous but you have to realize they obviously only show the most exaggerated responses. Also if you ever go to early releases of movies like this the audience is always really into it which adds a lot to the experience.

In terms of scary I think the fourth kind certainly has potential to be a scarier/better movie but how much do you think it cost to make? A few guys and a camera managed to make a believable, good and scary enough movie without any money and I think they deserve a lot of credit for that.

I can't see how it could possibly be worse. Blair witch was only good if you went into it believing it was real (or possible) but on the whole it was a really terrible movie.

they always say "scariest movie ever"

As I explained in the other thread about this movie, the hype isn't that it's the scariest movie ever, it's because it cost around $10,000 to make and they managed to create a movie on par with hollywood thrillers.

it was pretty boring for the first half but it slowly picks up and gradually pays off
pretty well made I'd say for 15K! Some genuinely scary moments! I've never found any American made horrors scary at all...but this one def. gave me some chills down the spine
People applauded at the end while still speechless~

I think its the documentary style that makes it even scarier because it comes off as being more true and "believable"

I think the first half was a little slow but it was used to build up the last half which was awesome.

I've never screamed in a theatre before but this movie made me along with 90% of the theatre scream :p

Saw it last night too. Really well done, pretty scary and really believable (as believable as a movie like this could be anyway). I was really impressed considering the circumstances.

Girl
10-18-2009, 02:25 PM
Saw the midnight showing last night with a bunch of people. Really...a midnight showing is the best time to make new friends and get free popcorn =) Surprisingly not as packed as I thought it would be...but I guess it will when word gets out. See it soon, grab your tickets early, grab food and chill then come back an hour before the movie and just chat with the ppl around you.

Girl's "Technical" Review:

This was great movie for a few reasons. It plays on the true essence of fear and suspense. Every scene was calculated to psyche the audience, some may find the beginning too slow, but without that and Micah's god-forsaken jokes that were so inappropriately funny, there wouldn't be a silent audience holding their breath in anticipation for about 30 seconds after the movie was over.

The movie's like an after-thought, most of the scare comes at the end of the movie and really starts when you leave the theatre. But in all honesty, there was no one scene that used anything we'd consider "horror" throughout the movie. Maybe a few drops of blood, but there were no heads chopped off, no crazy makeup...actually no makeup at all as you can clearly tell from Katie's freckles, cellulite, wrinkles, etc. throughout the movie =P It's brilliant because unlike 28 Days Later, Exorcist, Saw, etc it's not using gore, makeup, special effects, it's using our imagination by doing what movies should be doing...telling a story and generating thought & reaction within the audience. Cuz seriously how can one of the scariest parts be a scene of an empty room or a girl just standing there or even just a girl smiling?

I enjoyed the overly blunt foreshadowing right in the beginning of the movie. The director is truly a story teller.

Girl's "Insider" Advice:
The first 30 seconds was a huge groan...very Blair Witch Project with the moving around, but creating that first dread made the movie a lot better lol. I suggest anyone that's sick or gets motion sickness easy to close their eyes for the first 30 seconds.

There's usually one focus point in the scary scenes that make you scared after you leave the theatre and it'll always drag your mind back to that focus point. Like it could be a scene of an empty car and in the whole scene the focus point is the steering wheel even though everything else seems scary but the steering wheel is whats going to keep directing you back to that scene later on cuz of its gaudy faux fur finishing ...then uh...don't keep staring at the damn furry steering wheel? If you want to sleep that is...

Girl's "Movie-Buddy" Advice:

For the ladies, I suggest going with a guy just because it really isn't the same holding onto your skinny ass girlfriends. Guys should bring a girl you want to get close to, cuz this girl will be holding onto you throughout the whole damn movie and will probably not want to go home afterwards just yet ;)

If you do end up sitting next to a stranger and he/she is cute... best time to pull out the "I'm apologizing in advance for any screaming, jumping or groping" line ;) I just did cuz I literally was going to...oh well I got free popcorn, copped a feel here and there and a discount on my water! Bring a friend that likes to crack jokes...it'll save you if ur the weak at heart.

Girl's Questions:

1) How is it that a young couple like themselves are in bed by midnight every single effing night when they don't have to be up for work or school early the next day? Well...one of them technically did but it almost seemed like their work/school schedules were non-existent.

2) Do these people have family and friends?! Like seriously.

3) Why is it that Katie's legs look slimmer in her booty shorts than in her jeans?

4) Why don't a young couple like them have more sex? Uh...okay ya so they're being haunted...I get it! But they werent being haunted that much in the beginning and come on! Guy with a new camera is like a guy with a free pack of Viagra!

5) Is it me or does Micah remind you of a mixture of Justin Long and Adam Levine from Maroon 5 just a little....very little?

6) How is it that Katie sleeps in her black tank top during the first night or first few nights? She gets up and is in some white hoodie and green tank top then in the afternoon she's changed again?! Like are we that tank top and shorts happy?

7) Who studies during a haunting?!

I just saw it yesterday....

Is it a good movie?? NO
Is it worth watching again?? NO
Is it overhyped?? Yes



But on the positive side...the movie goes really well with the season. Its genuinely and originally (arguable) freaky. I do adore a good ghost story. Sure its not the best ghost story, but nothing like this has been done and shown on the big screen. I think its worth checking out, and i think its worth telling friends to see the film....not as a movie, but more of an experience than anything else. Its worth checking out once, but only once. Its not worth lining up for, yet its not worth waiting for when it comes out to dvd. And on top of that, i don't think downloading it will provide the best experience either. Yes the commercials are overhyped, but as i said....think of it more as just an experience or something to check out rather than a movie.
The film is worth keeping an open mind for.

Really good movie, but you have to walk in on it with the right attitude. Considering the timing of the release of the movie (halloween) you have to be willing to buy into your gullibility and you'll enjoy it more. If you walk into it with a skeptical/casual attitude, don't waste your money on it.

Second, WHY THE FUCK didn't they close the door?

It seemed to me like this movie could have ended and stopped if Micah wasn't such a bitch and asshole that kept on trying to fuck with whatever it was. Did it ever occur to them to go the fucking church or anything? No, they decide to keep on calling the psychic. Yes, like that was really going to fucking help.

1) They covered the whole Micah thing in the movie, he wanted to prove to himself and his gf that he was a capable bf and "man of the house" aka The Macho Mentality

2) They didn't close the door was the same reason why they kept the lights on? They wanted to capture the hauntings?

3) Anyone whose ever seen Exorcist or any other movies about possessions know that Church's aren't going to help except the holy water bit. Hey now....blame mainstream Hollywood for creating that image.

They were dealing with a demon. Not a ghost but a fucking demon! I highly doubt closing your door is really going to prevent him from entering your room. Besides...how do they even know that he's not in the room with them 24/7?

I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE CONSIDERING WATCHING THIS MOVIE TO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

I'm so pissed after watching this movie with my friends, and is seriously considering demanding a full refund. This movie was completely plotless, it explained NOTHING, and considering how it wasn't even REAL, how did you guys enjoy this movie ? The cliffhanger at the end? It was suspenseful at best, and with a budget of 15,000 and gross revenue of 32Mil, im just PISSED that their making money out of this fucking movie.

DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS SHIT.

i just came back from watching this movie and i honestly didn't find it very scary. it does have some creepy bits, but it's not "the scariest movie of all time".

this movie is missing the back-story or history that builds the suspense of the film. it felt like every time something 'scary' happened, it lacked the element which kept the tension going, like they couldn't keep you feeling scared or keep up the anticipation.

it's definitely not worth going to the theatres for.

actually, i have something to add..

don't watch this in the theatres. instead, either rent or dl this movie and watch it in your bedroom with the lights off. and maybe, it'll creep you out more.

watching this with a bunch of friends may ruin the film. in the theatres, some people were laughing so it was hard to really get into the film. even then, it wasn't that scary.

For some people, this is how they deal with being scared. They try mock or laugh at it.

I watched it in the theatres myself and observed some of the same phenomenon you noticed. But I wonder how many of these same people could handle watching that movie alone by themselves in a contained isolated setting. (which is how I like watching my scary movies).

I saw the movie tonight and it was over hyped. it wasn't really scary, but it did keep me on edge a few times and made me uncomfortable. so i guess it did it's job somewhat.

but i wish i saw some of the other endings i read instead, cause this ending wasn't that great.

I watched it today, i thought it was pretty creepy and enjoyed the simplicity of it that created the creepy effect.

I didnt think it was a waste of money.

If you're on REVscene for movie reviews, you'll end up missing a lot of good movies as the majority of the RS population are folks that don't really like to think a lot when they're watching a movie. You'll end up missing great movies like The Hurt Locker or Inglourious Basterds because there's "too much talking" or something and end up watching garbage like Transformers 2.

That being said, I saw this tonight and while there are genuine scary moments, I wouldn't call it a particularly scary movie. You'll think twice the next time you hear strange noises in the house but there isn't enough here to grasp and create that scare in your mind.

The scariest part of the movie is the fact that it is all made very realistically. If someone told you the footage was real, it wouldn't be a huge surprise as there are no visible effects. There's no soundtrack and there are periods of time where nothing happens...it build tension very well.

However, I have to say that the tension is sort of wasted since you know something is going to happen every time the lights turn off and there's no real surprise factor there.

Slightly above average movie for me.

Watched this with my fiancee and we both thought it was boring and not scary at any level ... we were both falling asleep like 20 mins into the movie (me cause it was boring, her cause the camera was making her dizzy) ... even when it started to escalate, we both didn't feel creeped out or anything ... I slept well right after and I'm the kinda person who gets freaked out by this kinda genre of scary movies ...

To compare it to something, for anyone who watches the Supernatural TV show, its more scary than this movie and the TV show isn't really that scary ...

Watched this with a few friends last night at their place. We had no idea what it was about and killed all the lights etc while watching. In the setting, and with people committed to watching it, it was scary.

I don't get all the hate for this film.

Holy Sh1tsickles I went Ape Sh1t I was so scared....Then I feel asleep. The End. LOL at People who watched it in Theaters. LoL at people using scary or disturbing and "Paranormal Activity" in the same sentence. LOL at Retard Hype That brough this movie to theaters not to mention even having people mentioning it in general daily conversation. This POS is the Fail King. Rake in All the Mo' Fackin' Oscars, Tonys, Golden Globes.....Daym at least get a decent chick for some visual "Non fall asleep material" and not some Gypsy from Madagascar....
