The only movie to ever affect me....

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2009)

I would just like to start this off by saying this is my first ever "review" on movie, so I would like to apologize in advance if anything is missing.
"Paranormal Activity" starts off with a couple buying a video camera to start recording all the phenomena that has been going on in their house for some time......
You would think; "Oh yeah, normal storyline, I don't believe in ghosts, I'm going to watch it for kicks." How very wrong you are....
This movie isn't for the weak of heart. I am a huge horror fan (Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.) and not one of those movies has affected me, or even made me freak out at places. This movie DOES. From the first instance of "Paranormal Activity" in this movie. My heart starts racing. And as the movie goes on, more disturbing things happen that just make you think; "what is going to happen next?" You can prepare yourself all you want, but it WILL NOT work.
The first instances that you see could be passed off as fake, but as the film goes on. You simply cannot contradict what you see..... And don't say "nah, I can contradict it all." Because I did as well, and I changed my view on about the 4th night something happens...
After the first time I watched this movie. I was mentally affected. I remember going to sleep, over 4 hours later. And not wanting to close the door all the way due to what I saw in the movie.
Even though I had watched this movie twice on DVD before going to the cinemas. My heart still started to race when all the activity started. And I knew what was going to happen. But there were some added scenes in the movie, and an entirely different ending. Which I found to be a lot better than the ending on DVD. And as soon as I saw the different ending starting to happen. I thought; "here we go, whats going to happen now?" And I still wasn't prepared for what happened.
This movie, not only from being a great film to watch at home, has an UNBELIEVABLE cinema experience. I went today, after seeing the movie twice on DVD, and you just get a feeling that no other movie can get you to feel. The audience, as a whole, gasped, jumped and went "oh my god" at all the perfect times. Trust me, watching it in the cinema is about five times better than watching it at home just due to the audience being there.
It is well worth the admission fee to watch this movie, and I would gladly watch it again.... Many times....
Are you ready for Paranormal Activity? Your not.... and you never will be...... nothing can make yourself prepared for what happens. Good luck, your going to need it.....
