Paranormal Activity
Just got back from seeing this... woah. The last 30 minutes were ridiculously unnerving.
Horror is my bag ,but I am still spooked after seeing this. http://www.paranormalactivity-movie.com/trailer.html |
I'm surprised ther isn't more responses in this thread. I heard this movie was very creepy. I plan on seeing it at some point this week.
|
Really? I've seen the trailer and thought it looked janky as hell. Like a cheesy Blair Witch wannabe...
|
I'm planning on seeing it soon. I wasn't planning on it because I've soured on the "ghost hunter" type of TV shows, but everyone is saying its great.

Ok, so i saw this last night.
It's a good movie. A ton of suspense. It takes a little while to get going, but once it gets going it's pretty creepy. I'll admit that even though it's a good film, i was a little disappointed. After reading the reviews and hearing the commentary from some people i know, i really thought it was going to be SCARY. It's not, well, unless you really believe in demonic spirits. I suggest watching it, it's creepy as hell. Especially the end. |

If you liked Blair Witch, you'll like this. Same kind of movie, but i think this one is made much better. Much creepier and it didn't rely on it's marketing. Also, knowing that it was made w/ only a 20K budget also makes me respect the film a bit more. Cool, unique film, but don't believe the hype that it's SCARY. |

I define scary as something that startles me. And i don't mean the kind of startle you get when something jumps out at you. I mean the kind you get when something is so freaky to look at that you turn away from it for a second. I know it was a scary movie when i go home and im paranoid when the lights go out. This movie didn't do that to me. Did it to my girl though. She woke me up in the middle of the night because she was freaked out. She claims she had similar experiences to what we saw in the movie. She had her hands over her eyes through most of the movie. This movie scared the Jesus back into another friend of ours. Literaly. Apparently, (this is according to his sister) after watching the movie, this guy we know was unable to sleep that night. He had to grab his crucifix and re-establish his relationship with god in order to feel comfortable in his own bed again. This movie didn't have that kind of effect on me. And judging by the crowd's reaction at the end, it didn't have that affect on very many people. But, the movie keeps you going all the way till the end. It has a ton of suspense, and when the aberration makes itself known, it's a trip. SOMEWHAT OF A SPOILER HERE It's not scary, because you never actually see anything, really. Which is part of the genious of the movie, and makes it so creepy. Like when you see the footprints in the room. You see footprints going in, but you never see the footprints go out. So you know, whatever it is, is still in the room. But nothing actually ever happens. That kind of creepy, ya know? Or when the girl wakes up in the middle of the night, stands at the foot of the bed and just stares at her husband for a few hours and then goes back to sleep. That kind of creepy. It's a great movie. It's well made. I just wouldn't define it as "scary", the same way i wouldn't define Blair Witch as "Scary" |

Seriously?? Over a movie? |

OK, gotcha. I think I understand what your saying. I'm excited to see it though, it should be interesting. |

i saw that movie the other day, i was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. i could not sleep so well that night. it makes you think though....
|
This was a ****ing reeruned movie. Much like the Blair Witch Project IMO.
|
Blair Witch was creepy and scary the first time I saw it. A while after that, it was kind of funny more than scary.

I'm looking forward to this one, i'll definitely go see it.
Another one along the same lines i've seen advertised is something like 'Alien Abduction' or something like that, the trailer was being shown alot during football breaks sunday. |

Saw it. It was creepy as hell with one, "OH SWEET JESUS WTF!!" moment. Goosebumps aplenty.
If you don't see it in a theater, watch it alone in the dark. (No distractions.) |
Quote:
I saw it the night it came out, the theatre wasnt packed for some reason. But it was awesome. I enjoyed all of it. I would say it was one of the best scary movies in the last 5 years. |
So this is basically a rip off of The Entity crossed with the low budget indy cult appeal of The Blair Witch project? The trailers were almost identical to those of TBWP.

Quote:
Edit: Only thing similar is that they were both shot with one camera. |

That's 97 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I suggest going to see it. If youve ever encountered a ghost, or believe in ghost/spirits it will probably freak you out. Seeing it in theatres is the way to go. On a normal TV, things around you might distract you. You gotta be somewhat zoned in. |

So if you think Ghost Hunters is only out-gheyed by shows like Housewives of Atlanta and hated Blair Witch, I'm assuming this movie rates a "skip"?
|
I'd like to see this one, but the wife will never go for it. Maybe I'll bring my son. I'll have to see if it's even in theaters around Omaha...

I went to go see this yesterday with my girl and while it's somewhat creepy it wore off pretty quick. There's no depth to the movie at all. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars for nothing else but being creepy.
On a side note I didn't go to bed until 3am from playing video games and decided to making a growling noise and grab Amy's foot and pull it off the bed which resulted in a heal to the side of the head. She didn't find it funny and left early. I thought it was hilarious. I'll be paying for that all day. |
Everyone, I highly recommend The Last Broadcast. It came out a year before Blair Witch and is still the best, in my view, of these "documentary-style" horror films. It simply does not get the recognition that it deserves.
However, I must warn you that the ending absolutely sucks balls. It absolutely has the worst possible ending. When the narrator/film maker announces that the video lady is done restoring the last of the lost footage, do yourself a favor by turning it off. Make up your own ending and leave it at that. Other than the abomination of the ending, I highly recommend this movie. http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/5563/tlbsquew.jpg |
In fact, it is currently on Youtube for your viewing pleasure.

Sorry about the thread jack, but I thought some of you might be interested in it.
|
just finished "The Last Broadcast". It pretty much sucked compared to Blair Witch and even Paranormal Activity. The whole time I'm expecting something really cool, and then you are left with what may be the worst ending I've ever seen.
I finally watched PA the other night. While I found the ending lacking (both of them) I thought it was a pretty good scare. I have gone to bed the last 2 nights, and images from PA are with me. That's how I judge a movie, by how long it stays with me. I tend to get into the possible reality of these types of situations and try to think what it would be like to actually be there. PA and BW were very good for that. Last Broadcast was interesting, but ultimately failed big time. JMO. |
Paranormal activity is overrated to me. It's scary, but not to the level people make it.
But scariest part was when she "woke up" and just stood over the bed for hours on end. Imagine being the husband and waking up to that. Holy shit lol. |

Regardless, it was pretty compelling, I wanted to see how it would end. Still think Blair Witch ruled over all of them though. |
Paranormal Activity 3 trailer is out. They are really doing a job with a "continuity" storyline with these.

...I never saw part 2. Part 1 was a good scare, pretty un-nerving at times. I heard part 2 was even worse on your brain...anybody confirm that? To me, the minute you start having sequels to these types of movies, it sorta takes away from the supposed "realism" of them. That's why I never bothered with part 2. |

Same Bloody Mary that we did as a kid?
Late at night you'd go into the bathroom and stare at the mirror. While staring at the mirror, you reach over and turn off the light so your face is the last thing you see. Has to be completely dark. Then you chant "Bloody Mary" thirteen times and turn on the light. Supposedly you will see her face in the mirror. Either replacing yours or right over your shoulder looking at you. Of course the power of suggestion makes you see something that will scare the living shit out of you as a kid, lol. Good times. |
Just noticed this thread. People seriously thought the ending was scary? I thought it was one of the lamer endings I've seen, and it completely killed the tension. At the part where she gets dragged out of bed I busted out laughing, it was so ridiculous looking. They ran out of ideas at that point and I pretty much guessed everything else before it happened.

I thought it was kinda scary. Just watched part 2 yesterday. About the same. Worth a rental.
|
The Paranormals are the type of movie I like to see in theaters, being that I don't have a surround sound system. The tension is much more effective with the bass up loud..
|
I really like these movies. I just watched both of them about 5 or 6 months ago back to back. I think i liked the 2nd one a little better. I love that they use old fashioned scares with no gore. They also seem to be developing some decent continuity in the series.
|
Just saw this tonight. If you liked the other two, I'd highly recommend this one..
Spoiler!

I took my wife to see this last night. Not bad. A lot of the same stuff. Still a good scare I guess. I freaked out my wife in the middle of the night when I got up to go to the bathroom she asks what are you doing, I said I'm gonna get Toby something to eat he's hungry lol. Got smacked.
|
Did I hit a time warp?
Where is this playing like 3 years later?... |

I really liked the 1st one, I just watched the 2nd one and that sucked ass. No tension, no suspense, nothing to keep me interested. All that build up and then practically nothing.
