A haunted house makes no secret of the fact it's not pleased with its new tenants in this independent tale of supernatural horror. Katie and Micah are a twentysomething couple who've just moved into a new home in San Diego, CA. Katie has an interest in the paranormal and believes that malevolent spirits have been following her since childhood, though Micah is not so easily convinced. However, after several nights of loud noises and strange happenings, Micah starts to agree with Katie that some sort of ghost may have followed them to the new home. After a paranormal researcher tells the couple he can't help them, Micah decides to take control of the situation and sets up a battery of video cameras so that if a spirit manifests itself, he can capture its behavior on tape. Once the surveillance cameras are in place, Katie and Micah bring in a Ouija board in an effort to talk to the spirits, a move that deeply offends the ghosts. "Paranormal Activity" is a real chill-up-the-spine movie that's bound to induce nightmares, the effect is much, much more psychologically terrifying than any regular blood-fest.Read full review

It only took a few minutes to determine this is one of those low budget, no name cast, films. I began to wait for the really bad make-up on silly people falling from closets. I decided to turn it off while it was still interesting and before it got really stupid. Each time, however, I felt more and more drawn to the plot which failed to become silly or stupid. In fact, this movie held me all the way to the end, even though the profanity was overdone to the point of being annoying. Want a really scary movie that will hold you to it all the way through? This would be my first recommendation. Get this one and watch it just before going to bed. I've been sleeping, standing in the corner, with all the lights on, eyes wide open,for several days now.
Being a horror fan all My life, I really dont get scared of them anymore like I used to. For years with the exception of The Blair Witch Project and Hostel, I just cant get that fear back that i had of horror in the 80s. But that changed with Paranormal Activity. Its considered a found footage movie much like Blair Witch. I know its not real, its the way its made to look real. PA is scary because it focuses on those sounds You hear at night that You cant explain, or those times when Youre alone and You hear every little sound. Paranormal Activity puts a face on all that. I know its inspired alot of found footage films, most of which arent scary. But this is the one to own. PA2 was good, but I wasnt as scared because they used an actress Im very familiar with (Sprague Grayden-Opies wife Donna from Sons Of Anarchy) In order to make these type of films work, You have to use nobodies that seem like real people. However i just saw PA3, and lets just say the fear has returned. DVD is in perfect condition and looks brand new. My thanks to the seller.Read full review
Of course I like this kind of movie anyway. Poltergeist has always been one of my favorite movies but you still know you're watching a production movie made on a set. Of course, with Paranormal Activity, you still know you're watching a movie but it seems very real most of the time. The special effects are just enough to add to that realism and creepiness. Movies don't scare me like they used to but this one definitely makes you want to sleep with the lights on that night. The main stars, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat make you feel like you really are watching a couple in the privacy of their own home. This also adds to the realism, however, in my opinion, Katie Featherston fully deserves her Festival Trophy best actress award!!! She is fan-freaking-tastic! Also, she is quite the babe but of course that's just a side note. Her job in this movie is awesome. If you like movies in this genre, you'll love this movie.Read full review
