My Review Of The Film Paranormal Activity

By Catherina Mountjoy


"Paranormal Activity" is a movie that has recently been picked up by Paramount Pictures. This movie was originally an independent film that found many fans at Screamfest. Almost two years later the film is coming out again, this time with a different ending.

Steven Spielberg is said to be a big fan of this film and reportedly had a hand in its final scene.

The movie is based around Katie and Micah. Katie and Micah are deeply in love with each other, even though they have some slight relationship porblems.

The couple relocates to a home in San Diego which they start to think could be haunted. As time passes, Katie explains her belief in the occult, and suggests that a poltergeist has shadowed her for many years. She even intimates that the ghost may have played a role in her sister's demise.

This idea does not seem realistic to Micah, so he devises a plan to get to the bottom of the occurences. With the help of his video camera he begins to record the home at night.

Eventually, Micah captures some curious and inexplicable activity on video. At that point, he is persuaded of the presence of the poltergeist, which he succeeds in provoking further.

The couple eventually meets with a specialist in paranormal phenomenon, but obtain few insights. The specialist abruptly ends the consultation, asserting that he does not have the skill or ability necessary to handle this type of ghost.

Micah becomes more and more taunting with the ghost, at one point even placing a Ouija board in the room in an effort to open communications with the malevolent forces. Things continue to escalate until an abrupt and haunting climax.

The film represents a great deal of ingenuity, even if subdued, and is a great example of editorial economy that still manages to grip its audience for the duration of the story.

If you enjoy scary movies this is a must see. Unlike many of the newer scary movies this one will actually scare and entertain you throughout the film.
