Movie of the Week: Paranormal Activity
October 14, 2009
Now I’m setting myself up for “Oh, stop being a little bitch. It wasn’t that scary” or “This movie sucked” but this was definitely the scariest movie I ever saw in a movie theater. To put this in perspective, prior to this, the payoff in the remake of The Ring was the scariest five minutes I had ever seen in a theater and The Blair Witch Project had the most lasting effects from a scary movie.
I don’t want to say too much but this movie definitely plays up on our natural fears of bumps in the night.
It wasn’t perfect. I hated everything having to do with the Quija board, sometimes the decisions Micah made defied logic and it drove me nuts that at NO POINT they didn’t take a stab at closing and locking the door just to see what would happen.
But I can’t front, when I got home after the movie, I turned all the lights on in my apartment until my roommate came home.
Yes, I’m a punk.
I haven’t seen any marketing or trailers or ANY advertising about this movie, it totally slipped under the radar!
Thank you for the sufficent warning. I will not be seeing this movie!
Oooh, u’re roomie must have been like — ummmm, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? hahaha — i just see her shaking her head.
I so heart you for this post LOL – Seeing it tonight…quite possibly alone b/c none of my punk-ass friends will go with me. (I’m a G)
