Unfortunately the other threads are dead.

I just wanted a place to express my feelings on this movie. I'm struggling to find the words.

I'm considering:

"If Dante had written "The Inferno" about shit. All 7 levels would be "Paranormal Activity"

"I drank too much and had to take a nasty 'Paranormal Activity' the next morning".

"I had to take my dog's 'Paranormal Activity' to the vet with me".

"I'm reminded of that artist, you know, the one that douches his asshole and paints with the resulting 'Paranormal Activity'"? <-- Bonus anal douche reference

"Watching 'Paranormal Activity' was like being teabagged by a donkey that dipped his balls in elephant shit, only longer".

"'Graffiti Bridge' > 'Paranormal Activity'".

"Worthless bitch"

I'll have to think about which expresses my feelings most succinctly.

You mean you weren't blown away by the acting?

Acting?

You mean it wasn't real?!

Dude! Unfortunately, this is a movie that you had to see when it first came out, and see it in a packed theater. Because seeing it now, you've already heard all about it and the freshness of it has been taken away by time.

So next time when I recommend a movie, drop everything and go see it that instant!

I agree. It was more fun seeing that movie in the theater, because at least those people thought it was scary, and that made it a little more fun. Not a really good movie, by any means, but I didn't mind it totally.

RodeoSchro said:

Maybe a crowd would have helped, but I doubt it. All I had heard was that it was an indie horror movie that was really good.

I'm just not frightened by baby powder and dudes with girl's names.

Have you seen the original ending on YouTube? Talk about awful...

i saw it in the theatre and thought it was massively overrated.

the only thing frightening was the screams of the idiots in the theater.

I generally can't go to a crowded theater cause I'm inclined to kill the douchbags with their cell phones.

Is that the one where The Kid hits her with a jeep?

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Paranormal Activity... I saw it twice (once for free) before it was put into wide release in packed theatres when the only time you could see it was at midnight on one day of the week. I can't remember the last time a movie that unified the audience into such a fun experience. It seemed to genuinely send a strong chill through the audience like ice water being poured at those key moments.

EVERYONE in our group of 15-20 people loved it. Even those who hate horror movies. Despite irritating characters and a forced plot (them staying that long).

But it'san interesting phenomenon , that like "blair witch", the waves of other people who saw it after wide release and publicity and word of mouth then hated it and couldn't feel anything while watching.

I think 500 Days of Summer also has some bad amateur moments of characterization and dialogue, but the overall push of the story, imaginative creative style, and it's subject matter are really engrossing and emotional for a large portion of audiences.

I liken this to when I watch the Prince '87 NEw Years benefit show and thought it was the most powerful intense live thing I'd ever seen, and then shown it someone else after talking about it, and they yawned. Something doesn't work when you hear about it first and don't discover it.

Mars23 said:

Depends on the crowd! I saw it in a theatre packed with people who were obviously just like my friends and me. We all laughed and made fun of it and no one was scared.

cborgman said:

I went with teen girls and that was the funnest part - the movie was overrated like most all movies are

Mars23 said:

lawd !!

I enjoyed the movie.

You mean, Blair Witch 2?



Fuck this movie and the people who made it. They owe me an hour and a half of my life back.

frightening because they were frightened or frightening because they were idiots...

I can't wait till Netflix sends it so I can experience it for myself.

I loved loved loved it.

I saw it in the theater with a bunch of crazy SANTA CRUZ kids. It was sooo much fun. I saw it the second time with a dead crowd.

I also downloaded it and it was a different ending and there were bits and pieces put in and taken out.

THEN, I bought the BLU RAY and there's yet ANOTHER ending.

It was freaky

Imma kick your ass if it's the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

I'mma be there for that...

RenHoek said:

Instigating lil' shit.

I liked it, but it was definitely one of those "why-didn't-they-just" movies.

I made my mother watch it and she hated it. She didn't even jump at the best bit, when the woman gets dragged out of bed.

johnart said:

wait until you see the movie... I haven't... for a reason...

RenHoek said:

little bit of column a, litttle bit of column b

I agree with everyone who said it was overrated. It got far more laughs than scares out of me.

johnart said:

I aint saying you're gonna like it!!! You probably wont.

Bring it!
