Last night I watched Paranormal Activity. After reading good things about it, I had high hopes and also I was sure that it will scare the day light out of me, so I took some precautions: had my boyfriend in the other room ready to intervene if I get too scared, had some cookies, low light, a blanket to put over my head at the very scary parts.
In the good tradition of "Blairwitch Project" and "rec", Paranormal Activity is filmed as a "home made tape" and marketed as a "true story". Unlike Blairwitch Project, it misses the novelty factor. Unlike rec, it misses the action and brilliant acting. So even if overall there were a few creepy scenes, I didn't jump out of the couch, didn't cover my head with the blanket, didn't yell for my boyfriend, and I slept like a child last night.
A little about plot of the movie: Katie and Micah are a young couple living in a suburban house. Recently Katie began to experience again phenomena she had also experienced as a child, and that seems to be caused by a demonic presence. Her boyfriend buys a video camera to document what is happening, and things get progressively worse as the demonic presence manifests itself more and in more violent ways.
I'd say 6/10 for this movie.
