Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2010)

Paranormal Activity's poster recommends that you don't see it alone. I'm glad I did though. I also watched it in a dark room whilst wearing headphones.
I had heard a fair bit about the film and there was a great amount of hype surrounding it. I wasn't let down. The film follows Katie and Micah as they try to record bizarre events that are happening around their home.
Maybe it was due to the fact that I watched it on my own or maybe it was because I used headphones. But Paranormal Activity made me jump and shiver more than a few times. The strange events get more intense as the film goes on and as a result the tension is built up brilliantly. I never thought I'd actually be scared of a shaking light fixture, a shadow or a door. But I was.
I've seen all three endings to Paranormal Activity and I have to say that it really doesn't matter which one you see. All the endings are effective and chilling in their own way. I'd have to say I prefer the original version the best, it's the most unexpected ending of the three.
The movie was actually made in 2007, but didn't get a release until 2009. I'll never understand why it took so long to find distribution. It's one of the best horror movies in recent years.
