Paranormal Activity

Post by Usivius »

I didn't see a topic on this...
Just saw it on DVD, at home, alone (because my wife and daughter don't like those movies), and I must say ... it was very effective. Especially that last scene made me jump ... well done, and effective use of the 'found video tape' premise.

Yeah, I liked it. Wasn't a great piece of art, but wasn't as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. If you get a chance, check out the original ending. I liked it better.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I saw it alone as well for exactly the same reason. I got scardy-chills when

she got dragged out of the bed by someone unseen
. I think that was the first time for a LONG time that I have experienced that.
