Get Ready To Get Scared

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2009)

I would like to start giving my comments about this film by saying "WOW...IT REALLY SCARED ME !!" & Believe me it did.
I have always been a fan of horror - mystery kind of a film since my childhood, well 'Paranormal Activity' has reached the top of the charts of my listing. I wouldn't want to be lame by putting in the names of my favorite horror - mystery movies out here, but would like to mention that it has certainty crossed the limits of what we have seen so far in other flicks.
It all begins with a couple in simple live in relationship, living in their routine life. The guy purchasing a camera to record the paranormal activities which are being happening to his girlfriend since her childhood. As the days go by the guy starts picking up some of the paranormal activities with his gadgets i.e. the EVP detector and the camera. So it turns out to be a success when he collects the paranormal activities on his gadgets. Throughout the film, the guy always intents to capture all the possible things with his hand held camera.
Although in the beginning of the movie you might find these characters to be Noobs & show that they might lose it in the acting department but they prove wrong. The actors Katie Featherston & Micah Sloat, have performed so very well that it always looks real to you portraying the exact events happening with them all the way through. The events are shot in such a way that we always feel as if they are happening exactly in front of you as if they are being shot with a homemade video. Thanks to the way the movie is shot with the hand held camera.
There will always be difference in the way you think about the movie depending upon your age & gender. For all those who are fans of the famous "Ghost Hunters" series, this is just like finding the evidence about the paranormal activity but with a difference. This is exactly what the people face before contacting the professionals. I have read a comment somewhere stating that Ghost Hunters is better than, well let me tell you that this is different than that. Though the tricks used by Micah in order to find the ghost always prompts you to the techniques used by the Ghost Hunters guys in their cases, they are the basic things which anyone will do.
The character of Micah is so dominant that he always wants to take control on the activities all by himself. Doesn't want to take any help from anyone else, wants to prove he can deal with the situation by doing his own research.
The suspense of the movie always keeps you grab you seat all the time. The slow & steady progress of the activities makes you think what next? what next? When I saw the movie the first time, I first thought the entity must be jealous of Micah, but it turns out to be wrong. The progress of the movie simply blows your mind & shows you what you have never seen before.
I have heard & read the comments of other people who have become suspicious & more cautious before they sleep at night after watching this flick. Many are not able to sleep well at night feeling as if they are haunted.
For all those people who are scared of everything & having a weak heart, Please do not watch this one.... you might lose your life.
In the end ... for all those who want to get scared....go watch it & get scared. Enjoy the greatest "Paranormal Activity"
