Lived Up To All The Hype

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2009)

I was skeptical about seeing this movie because of all the hype about it being 'the scariest movie of all time' but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it was filmed in the same hand held camera style as The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield, but this movie was unique.
Katie has been living with paranormal activity on and off since she was a young girl, and after she moves in with her boyfriend Micah, the events begin to happen again. Micah decides to film all that he can around the house to see if he can catch anything useful on camera. The film shows the couple's day to day life as well as the couple at night trying to sleep, which is when most of the activity happens.
There are a lot of good moments of suspense and little things that make you jump, as well as moments that are just plain eerie. I love the no frills filming style and the realistic, not over the top acting by the two leads. Overall, this movie definitely has its scary moments and is a well done film.
