    I always like when a movie trailer goes “from the twisted mind behind ____” because it makes the movie sound so dangerous, like only a real psycho could have directed Paranormal Activity 3 and then decided to direct another movie, he should have been locked up!

    I think I've successfully convinced myself Paranormal Activity 2 is better than the original film*. It's a little slow to start, but it BUILDS. *-Or maybe I just have a toddler, and this movie is about the universal parental fear of someone hurting/scaring your toddler while you sleep.

    I can tell you where this trap leads, because it is what happened on Scary Movie 5, where they did massive reshoots to try and parody Mama, which came out after principal photography as a Paranormal Activity spoof. It went terribly. They even threw in an Evil Dead 2013 bit based on the *trailer*.

    I recently watched Paranormal Activity for the first time. What a funny film to arrive on the cusp of universal access to cheap, high-quality phone cameras. A total time capsule. The premise is that the protagonist's inability to stop recording unremarkable daily life gradually invites horror. Huh!

    Because it is spooky month, a horror movie take. Imo the Paranormal Activity movies are incredibly boring, because the premise of horror from the point of view of a security camera works better as a game than as a movie. Having some actual urgency while looking at the camera footage makes it scary.

    The film that scared me the most was 'Paranormal Activity'. It was the simplicity and how it opened the door and let your imagination do the heavy lifting. The scariest book I've read of late is 'Incidents Around the House'. It put me in touch with the child version of myself that was afraid of everything.

    I just watched Paranormal Activity for the first time. I watched it with the alternate ending first and then I went back and watched the theatrical ending. I think the alternate ending is objectively better whereas the original is kind of cheesy. The original actually made me jump though so I can't argue with its effectiveness. I see there is seven of these movies. Are they actually worth watching? As for movie one, pretty good. It creeped the fuck out of me.
