Every so often, a film comes along and frightens audiences in a strong and profound way. \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d is one of those films.<\/p>\n
Not since \u201cThe Blair Witch Project\u201d has a movie terrified audiences into believing what they were seeing on the screen was actually true. \u201cParanormal Activity,\u201d directed by Oren Peli, used a budget of $15,000 and a unique marketing approach to lure young moviegoers to the nearest theatre.<\/p>\n
The trailer for \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d mixes the actual film with footage shot from a Los Angeles premier. Along with a preview of the horror film, the trailer shows the reactions of the crowd that sat through the movie.<\/p>\n
I checked the movie out a few weekends ago in Columbus at Cinema 35 and the show was sold out through the weekend. Only released in a handful of major college cities, \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d quickly spread thanks to social networking-crazed college students.<\/p>\n
The movie takes place in a three-bedroom, San-Diego suburban home occupied by Micah and Katie. After a couple of odd occurrences in the home, Micah decides to invest in a costly, high-definition video camera in an attempt to capture a spirit on film.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s just say the spirit isn\u2019t camera shy, and we\u2019ll leave it at that.
\nAs the movie escalates, we learn that this spirit has followed Katie from house-to-house since her childhood. As Micah continues to antagonize the spirit, it grows angrier by each passing night.<\/p>\n
The build-up during the film was unbelievable. The movie captured the entire audience as every one in the theatre was seemingly attached together by clutching on to the person beside.<\/p>\n
With Halloween approaching, I recommend every horror fan to go as far out of their way as possible to check out this movie.<\/p>\n
\u201cParanormal Activity\u201d is the most terrifying cinematic experience I\u2019ve ever been a part of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
