Unique. Low budget. Suspenseful. PLEASE STOP BASHING THIS FILM!

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2009)

~Paranormal Activity~ I didn't buy into the hype of Paranormal Activity being the "scariest movie ever" because I didn't want to be let down. Is this the scariest movie of all time? No, but it's VERY INTENSE. There's a lot of people who don't like the film, are bashing it, & it's upsetting me. If you bought into the hype, you're going to be disappointed & it's not the movie fault.
For the budget this movie had, they did a darn good job with it. People need to remember this was an independent film. The actors & story were flawless. The main thing the movie does is build up suspense. It's really slow, yet interesting, but things get worse & worse.
If you haven't seen this movie yet then I encourage you to NOT view the trailers if you haven't already. The main trailer spoils WAY too much & makes you have high expectations over the level of fright reactions. I believe that most of the people slamming this movie bought into the hype, believed the trailer reactions, & were upset the entire movie: or they're just really young.
As the suspense builds up, the fresh viewers will be scared out of their mind wondering what's going to happen next.
Personally, I've never been scared by a movie before: only slightly disturbed by The Exorcist. Yet, a few certain moments of this film & certain disturbing acts by Katie almost got to me. I covered my mouth in shock at the most intense moments because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I got so hyped by them that I couldn't wait to share it with people.
Aside from all the claims about how scary PA is, I still believe the movie is of high quality. It's interesting, it's fun, it's creative, it's suspenseful, had a few insane moments, & does not deserve the immature bashing it's getting from ignorant teenagers. Hollywood has blinded people with gore, special effects, loud sounds, & numerous other things. This is a quality suspense movie that only the wise folks can enjoy. I wish I could share more about the film but I swore to not spoil. The only reason I didn't give PA a perfect score is due to the fact that it didn't scare me out of my mind & the intense moments were a tad bit too minimal.
P.S.
The number of negative votes my review is getting proves my point. IMDb should have an age limit of at least 21. Nothing but angry little teenagers are doing this to my review.
