It was cool to see Katie and Micah on The Soup.

Well I just watched the alternate ending and the theatrical ending.

I like the 'cops' ending the best of the three.

This thing looks great on Blu.

So, wait, all three are on the Blu? Or did you see one some other way?

Dr Mabuse

The alternate and theatrical cuts are both on the Blu. Not the cops ending.

It looks great, and the audio is really cool, you can CLEARLY hear the wild voice in the "I think we'll be okay now" thing, it's wild.

So I finally got to see this movie.. I give it a big fat "F" . What a pile of crap. Went in expecting to at least be scared or even see a good movie. This was neither scary or good. I didn't jump once, and that my friends is not hard to accomplish as I can get into films and even when i know its coming, i jump.

For something to be hyped as much as it was, and then to be let down like I was, I'd almost put this into the "Worst movie of all time" discussion.

The only props I give is that they made a 12 thousand dollar movie into hundreds of millions. Nice profit!

And yet the "Love it or hate it with no in between" analogy is still holding strong.

Blockbuster Video had these out early, so I took the plunge and rented it for $1.99 with my special discount. God, this movie sucked. Probably one of the most overrated "Home Movies" of the year. Not even remotely scary and I literally dosed off several times. Doors slamming shut, things dropping on the floor and Katie screaming like a hyena don't make a scary movie. I thought the other lead actor Micah was such a douche. I felt this movie was really more of the breakdown in the relationship between Micah and Katie than an actual exploration into the Paranormal.

The thing I am more upset about is the $15K turkey and it's $107M at the box office taking away all the thunder from a far superior and much more scarier film in Saw VI.

On the plus side, I actually think Katie Featherston is kinda hot. Nice voluptuous body, big boobs and a nice curvy ass. I hope she gets a few more roles.

You my friends failed to do your research before seeing this. PA is not that kind of horror movie.
In fact I think 'I didn't jump once' might be the best thing you can say about a horror movie. Jump scares are easy and lazy.

Just saw the movie, a $1 Redbox rental. It was a very good movie, definately worth watching once.

And I *loved* the director's home (where it was filmed), great hardwood floors and iron railings.

Movies like PA are meant to be seen with a large crowd at the movie theaters. It's just not the same viewing experience if you're watching this movie at home by yourself, or with your sig-oth.

I liked it, it wasnt great or as scary as people or the ads were making it out to be, there were one or two good creepy moments. But its worth seeing once, I think this movie has really little replay value.

I was wondering if anything has actually come of this. Are fan names listed in the dvd credits?

Four-word review:

Bought.
Watched.
Lame.
Waste.

The only paranormal activity is whatever possessed me to deal out the money for this blind. SPOOKY!!!

ChefWinduAZ

Yes at the very end of the credits all of the fan names are listed. It goes by fast and it is in alphabetical order by first name. I was able to find my name.

newginafets

you can sell it to me for $10

EdTheRipper

Cool, thanks.

Heat

This movie really reminded me of "Open Water".

Handheld video shots, man & woman have something that they can't control, desperation.

Ghostbuster

I watched Paranormal Activity last night. It's OK, but I don't feel the need to watch it again...good concept (sleep is a mysterious phenomenon, and we're most vulnerable while asleep), but mediocre execution. In my opinion, the first Blair Witch movie is more effective.

advdfreak

I was thinking the same thing! I watched this late last night and it was definitely creepy. I thought I kept hearing strange noises while I was trying to go to sleep.

newginafets

for me, PA is more effective than BWP.

mdc3000

I thought it was OK - I appreciate the technique and what they were going for but didn't find it scary at all... just the sounds made me feel like I wanted to rewatch Drag Me To Hell because all I kept thinking was "LAMIA!"

Solid Snake

are you serious? I dunno about you but no horror film has ever made me afraid of the real world. At least in the movie world sense. Am i uncomfortable in dark alleys? Sure why not? Am i shitting my pants cuz I think I heard something in my house? No, but I'm going to find out wtf that is.

advdfreak

Did I say that I shit my pants? Did I say that I was up all night? All I said was that I heard noises while I was trying to go to sleep.

Solid Snake

Well..my heard something in the house is actually applied to a lot of "classic" horror flicks not directly to PA. Notice that I used a Dark Alley as an example as well. Using situations in a movie that MAY be associated with getting scared/nervous/etc in the real world.
