Eh.
It looks okay.
Doesn't look like anything special to me. If anything I'd say I was even more put off by the fact that they seemed to show more of people looking scared than anything scary in the movie. Almost like it wasn't actually that scary but they tried to make it seem like it was anyway. Couldn't care less if this ever sees the light of day to be honest.
After online response, Paranormal Activity to finally open nationwide - HitFix.com
Interesting way of marketing the film, but the actual film doesn't look too great.
You're spoiling a fairly decent film for a lot of people by posting that trailer here.
If you have any intentions of seeing this film, avoid the trailer--nearly every effective scene in the movie is egregiously shown in its entirety with no buildup or context, ruining a lot of the potential impact.
I HAVE to see this movie. Shame it isn't released till the end of November in the UK. Ill just try and forget about it till then.
It looks like an assignment for a college film studies class.
dude you guys have got to do some research on this film, i know a few people who have seen it and said it was absolutely terrifying. apparently people are having trouble sleeping and some have had psychotic episodes due to lack of sleep. this is not some cheap scare flick where :bou::bou::bou::bou: jumps out at you, it is supposed to be just good ol' fashioned horror where it sticks with you when you are alone and trying to sleep at night. from what i have heard, i have to see this film.
You're giving the film far more credit than it deserves, and you will be disappointed with those expectations.
You know, I've seen studios make claims like this before about their movies and it never pans out, and I have no doubt that some people walked out of the theater when they saw it at test screenings and such. I know I'm not the only one who remembers the Blair Witch Project. People were saying they'd never go in the woods again, but when I finally bothered to watch the movie it was literally the most boring waste of time I've ever seen. Hell, actually hiking through the woods in the middle of the night is scarier and even that's not that bad (unless you have Grizzly's in your woods).Quote:

Maybe, just maybe, if I hear nothing but good things about it I'll check it out when it's released on DVD, but I have trouble believing any movie will ever end up being as scary as the hype makes them out to be.
So anyone seen it yet?
Alright so the movie sucked. Not terrifying in the least bit, nothing that will jump out at you. It's simply like a ghost tv-show but with stuff that actually happens and done with a hand held camera.
i still want to check it out, and i do not want things to jump out at me. that is just cheap scares, that :bou::bou::bou::bou: is easy to pull off...
What a disappointment. Wish I didn't have such high expectations because I really wasn't scared at all. All the scares are just noises and sudden bangs. Have to wonder what those people in the trailer were freaking out about.
On the other hand the banter between the couple is quite amusing. And there is one good scene (SPOILER)when the girlfriend gets dragged down the hall, but other than that this movie has absolutely zero scares. The Blair Witch Project is still the king when it comes to these types of movies.
