The perfect Halloween treat.

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2009)

Everyone at my school had been jabbering about Paranormal Activity for a couple of weeks, and I thought it was just a big pile of over-hype. So last night I had a free night from work and I decided to see what all the hype was about. By the time I got out of the theater, I was still shaking from fear. Skeptics, this move can and will get you.
It's plot is about this couple Micah(himself) and Katie(herself), who had been having minor experiences of strange activity in their San Diego home. Micah decides to buy a camera to record any of this activity while they sleep and night by night, something DOES happen. It starts small, but then it gets worse every night, and Micah's taunts to this demon(sorry, this isn't a ghost story) are making it even more hard for the folks.
The effects, while minimal and cheap(banging, invisible feet and hands), are very effective and got me twice. But the real scare is the ending. This offers one of the most terrifying endings of all time. And there's more than 1 ending(I saw the original ending). What finale you see is based on the theater's choice and hopefully you'll see the original like I did. And even though this movie's very cheap, budgeted at only $15,000, it has a feel of a modern day Blair Witch, only it's way more awesome and terrifying. One of the best horror films in the past decade, that's for sure. 10 out of 10.
