Brought Back What Hitchcock Made Popular.

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2009)

The movie may not scare you, but it will make you tense, and give you goosebumps, make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. This is what horror/ terror movies were about. Taking the viewers fears and amplifying it. "Paranormal Activity" isn't like all the horror films out there today, all those remakes like "Prom Night", and "Friday The 13th". This film has that "this is real" feel to it. And it really does creep you out. There tons of on the edge of your seat moments. I had tears in my eyes from the anxiety and the chills I got from knowing something was going to happen but I didn't know what, when, or how bad the something was going to be. I think what made this film even more creepy and scary is the "There's no way to avoid it" feel. The happenings didn't just stop at night, they occurred in the day, which makes any person feel like nothing is safe and that is the worst feeling in the world. Hitchcock would be proud of Paranormal Activity.
My opinion is, if anyone didn't like it... they probably wanted cheap "jump at you" scenes, or tons of blood and gore. Paranormal Activity to me is what a horror film is about... "Things that go bump in the night... and then some"
