Must See Movie Recommendation: Review of 'Paranormal Activity'
Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Two years after premiering at the Sreamfest Horror FIlm Festival, this week I finally had the opportunity to see Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity in a theater. The verdict? Put this at the top of your must see list, and make sure you see it in a theater. "Paranormal Activity is one of the scariest movies of all-time. YOU WILL BE AFFECTED as it’s hard to ignore the imprint it leaves on your psyche. You know it’s fake, and yet, you can’t shake it. Nightmares are guaranteed." Click the title above for the full review and cross your fingers for that rumored September release.

It is coming out soon. I was recently offered passes in Burbank to see a special screening of it at Paramount in which they were going to film audience reactions while watching the movie, and then that footage would be shown in the TV commercials.

So I guess they added the lame alternate ending instead...damn. For those who have seen the film and want to know what you're missing, here is a description of the original and much more horrific ending: http://daveguzman.blogspot.com/2009/08/endings-of-paranorma l-activity.html More importantly, there needs to be a campaign by film bloggers to KEEP THE ORIGINAL ENDING. If movie sites could convince the big studios not to reshoot Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are it can definitely work on a smaller independent film. You guys should be angry - the final scene is the one time the movie gets lame hollywood horror. The original ending is far more violent and confronting and is the perfect finish to the film.

Wow. Possibly the "scariest movie ever made" ? Them big shoes to fill, but I am extremely interested in seeing this. I am not a big fan of ghosts/supernatural stuff, but this really sound good with all the positive reviews and feedback. Just need a release date.

IT TRUELY LEFT ME SCARED, I CLAIM CLOSE TO THINKIN IT WAS REAL, I COULDNT SLEEP FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS! LOL.. I WAS A LIL UPSET WHEN DREAMWORKS PICKED IT UP, BUT REALLY AT THIS POINT I DONT CARE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BOTH OLD AND NEW..SO I JUST HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A ORIGINAL RELEASE..AND BTW FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMPARING IT TO THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT..YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS..ITS FAR FROM THAT, B.W.P. WAS HORRIBLE..BUT THIS MOVIE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY" IS A MUST SEE!!!! I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED!!!!

Thank the Gods for an original movie idea anywhere near Hollywood, but there is simply no way in hell that this movie can be as good as the hype machine is making it out to be. I smell another Blair Witch, but like any train wreck, I can't wait to see it.
