I'll take the low budget realism over the big budget hype!!!

Ahh, DJpattiecake. Someone just like you walked out of the movie behind me, loudly displaying false bravado and assuring her peers that this movie was boring and sucked. I'm willing to bet that if she woke up at 2:00 AM to use the bathroom that she probably did so with an elevated level of alertness.
Folks, the strength of this movie was that it dispensed with the usual high-dollar Hollywood special effects and thundering soundtrack in favor of something ultimately familiar to all of us: home video camera and paranormal activity as might really be experienced by the average Joe Citizen. Real life paranormal events, if such a thing truly exists, will not be compelled to follow a theme/plot line/ending approach as taught in drama and film schools. Get over yourself DJpattiecake and ease off the high calorie movie factory fare that you typically get around Halloween. This was low budget but they got big bang with a bit of creativity.
