Paranormal Activity (2007)

Paranormal Activity

• This is one of the very few films that has actually scared me. There were several moments where I genuinely considered turning it off, and this is definitely not one to watch at night. During the day scenes, I was totally fine. However, during the night scenes, I was absolutely terrified. They did such a great job of creating the perfect atmosphere of creepy vibes. This film was also extremely suspenseful, and there were a couple scenes where I could feel my heart racing. The whole feel of the film was just terrifying, which is perfect. The overall acting was pretty good (though cheesy, but that's what makes it great), and I really liked the whole “found footage” feel. It makes the film feel authentic, and even though there were some corny moments, it still felt pretty cool. I also liked the very minimal cast. There were only 4 or 5 people we saw on screen, which I liked. The absence of music in this film was absolutely awesome, as it makes it feel so real life. I also liked how there weren’t any opening or closing footage, which makes the found footage vibe awesome. Overall, it scared the crap out of me, and I’d definitely recommend it to most horror fans.
