Paranormal Activity is the new Blair Witch Project.

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2010)

I am a person who believes in the paranormal and when i saw it, it was incredibly good and terrifying.
I thought this film was original and had a great storyline as the plot is about a couple called Katie and Micah who think they are haunted by a ghost/demon in their house so they film it with a video camera to film the evidence of the demon's presence and the couple's reactions towards the presence.
Out of some horror films (like the Saw films) i have watched in the past don't normally frighten me or affect me in any way. Paranormal Activity is the film that has given me a fright of my life and affected me in some ways. And it was the first ever horror film that i actually screamed at in sheer terror. It was full of suspense and it made me curious to find out what was going to happen next.
Katie and Micah gave a extraordinary performance as they make it look so realistic that you will experience what they are going through and you will feel the exact emotions that they are going through as well. Also, it is impossible to escape the film's sheer & visceral sense of dread.
The night scenes were good. Examples include: Night 13 is proper freaky when the demon writes on the Ouija board and it sets on fire. I thought that Night 20 was really scary and i thought that was the scariest scene of the entire film. I could feel the emotion and terror when Katie was dragged out of the room and what happened when Micah left the room till they came back in.
I was also holding my friend's hand while watching it and i was proper shaking when i came out of the theatre which was a first for me.
Also, I couldn't sleep with the lights off as i was really scared and i think everyone will say the same thing.
If anyone is planning to watch this film on DVD or anywhere else, you will have to prepare yourself and steady your nerves as you will feel the terror for yourself.
