Paranormal Success!

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2015)

Paranormal Activity is a landmark in the horror genre in the subgenre of the "found footage" style, the movie tells a story of the couple Katie and Micah that decide to film the paranormal activity in their house using a bunch of cameras.
The movie was a huge success at the box office making more than 20 times the budget of the movie becoming a powerful franchise for Paramount Pictures that even spawned four more sequels with a fifth in pre-production.
There is no doubt the quality and the originality of the Paranormal Activity movie, the acting mimics what a normal person would do and the characters are very relatable, most of the horror and scariness of the movie doesn't come from cheap jump scares but from the atmosphere of the house.
Watching with a limited POV (Point of View) of the cameras make you feel uneasy and transports you to the scene of the movie, the silence and waiting are the key features to deliver the scariness of Paranormal Activity.
Katie Featherston acting as Katie is very good and is one of the highlights of the movie.
