This movie was awesome! I am a really big fan of horror films and paranormal activity was great. The whole movie was based on a girl named Katie who lives with a boyfriend Micah in a home in California. She is being haunted by a demonic entity that's trying to possess her soul. I thought the theme complexity of human relationships fit this movie to a T. because this movie focuses on problems, and frustrations in a human relationship. Granite the problems in the relationship aren't between Micah and Katie, but between them two and this entity. So the film gives us insight of the problem without any clear solution to the problem. That's what made it so much more intense for me, because people don't go through these types of things every day. So your sitting on the edge of you seat asking yourself "OMG, what are they going to do? They don't have a solution and the demons going to take over her soul." At this point Micah doesn't know what to do. There's no one there for him to defend her from, just air. So he's really at a loss for words and ways to fix the problem. So now the human relationship is being tested because Micah doesn't know how much more he can take with Katie because he knows the problem revolves around her but it's not her fault. So he's frustrated and upset with something he can't even see, that's causing the wedge between them two. Paranormal activity theme complexity of human relationship is also spotted in another on of my favorite, Insidious. Because the problem was very similar but in this particular movie their son was haunted and the fact of not knowing if he had a true medical condition or if he was being possessed drew a wedge in between the parents relationship. Both of these movies added intensity with both the music and lighting mainly. Because the lighting at certain points was very dark with the rumble and really intense base of the music in my living made you want to scream, because you knew something was about to happen! That's what makes movies very horrifying and makes and makes you bite your nails at the edge of your seat. You can tell it was more than enough because there's no way the director could have pulled the same lighting and sounds off to a comedy or love story. He made it just right for the horrifying vision that he was trying to capture in paranormal activity. At the end of the day you have to put yourself in their shoes! What if you had a spouse or significant other you cannot help? There's something trying to get them and you can't see it! Of course everyone says "hell, I would've left." But this is you wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, roommate, or maybe even a family member. Could it or would it be that simple to leave them? This is where the wedge would come in between the two and put strain on that human relationship foe me. But thank god it's only theatrical entertainment and we get to watch it and not live it because I would officially be named crazy in someone's mental facility!
