Paranormal Inactivity

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2010)

Not quite as bad as "Absolute Zero" or that thing called "Cloverfield", but it does rank down there with the worst of them. Granted, the movie doesn't have the typical "Four College Students Finding Evil and Horror Somewhere" theme, but it does play on cheapness. The Trivia states it took ten days to film this movie, and I'm sure much less time in writing it.
Pretty much, the story is about a couple living in a haunted house. Strange things happen to the women, many, many times. Instead of running in fear and terror, she opts to read books about ghosts. Micah, for whatever reason, starts out by making fun of her (yeah, typical Gen-X yuppie wanna-be), and uses the old Cloverfield routine: Film everything. To get in a good horror scare for the religious types, an Ouija Board is used (yawn).
One paranormal expert comes in, offers advice, and listens intently to the suffering women. Another comes back later and is scared, close-minded, and worthless. So, the couple stays in the house.
The woman then sleep walks around and is outside in the cold night. So, the couple stays.
Things get broken and moved around, scaring them into believing something evil is living in the house. So, the couple stays.
*SPOILER ALERT* Not to give the movie totally away, the never-ending credits - if you can read them - roll on and on over the screen in the speed of a Fox TV show, and written in a microscopic size. What was the point of that? I asked myself as I was in my fifth minute of credit watching. After ten minutes I ejected the DVD wishing ill fates to those making this thing, and cursing myself for having listened to people telling me to watch this trash.
