'Paranormal Activity' lacks scares and creativity

Abstract:
From the beginning, "Paranormal Activity" seems like the next generation of filmmaking.

With a very low budget, the filmmakers compensated the special effects with creativity and atmosphere. Rather than having a glitzy press tour, the filmmakers promoted it by using Facebook and other social networking sites....

i saw this movie " paranormal activity in theaters a couple days ago. everyone said how good it was, but really it wasnt that good. yes, some parts were scary but other then that i was waiting for it to be over so i could go home. it was a waste of money and i would never watch that movie again. the ending was the only real scary part. but i was wondering.. is this movie a true story? or is it just something to entertain people?

I saw this movie" It might have been a low budget movie but, in my opinion i loved the movie. It makes you feel like you were really there as it happend. some parts were scary, making it as a home video made it more interesting to watch.

I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS MOVIE 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN A WEEK AND I CAN WATCH IT SO MANY MORE TIMES, LOW BUDGET OR NOT THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT!!!!! EVERYONE IN THE THEATHER WAS SCARED, PEOPLE LAUGHED ON SO MANY PARTS CAUSE THEY WERE SO SCARED.... I CAN RELATE TO THIS MOVIE NOT AS BAD AS THE FILM, BUT SINCE I WAS 6 IVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THINGS AND HEAR THINGS CALLING MY NAME AND MOVING THINGS IN MY HOUSE. THANK GOD IT STOP ALREADY 4 YEARS AGO WHEN I TURN LIKE 22. BUT I SEEN MANY CRAZY THINGS SINCE I PLAYED THE BOARD WITH MY SIS AND COUSIN WHEN I WAS 6.

I just finished watching this movie with some friends and we were all scared ****less! Each one of us has had some strange occurances in our lives, seeing or hearing funny things in our houses so we could relate. We would make little jokes as we watched just to lighten the fear. It seemed so real, like we were watching an actual video of what was happening (in the house) to this couple. I don't know why the publishers are comparing this film to The Blair Witch Project, or anything else because this was very unique, not about some psycho in the woods, it was an entity following some girl - to anyone who believes in the spirit world, this is a film that will scare and disturb.

Im in shock that people were interested and scared by this movie. It was terrible. If I watched it in a theater I prolly wouldve killed myself so maybe there wouldve been some actual paranormal activity and people wouldve been entertained. Luckily I watched it at a friends via bootleg (thank God it was free) and couldnt wait for it to get over so half way through I convinced my friend that this movie was all real and the actors were real people so it entertained me to watch him after that but the movie was a waste of time and thats almost 2 hrs I can never get back. Do not see this movie you can wait for the DVD if you must see it believe me. On another note props to the people involved in this film because they got away with making a really shitty horror movie for real cheap (less than 15000) and made 67 mil the 1st week because so many people in this country are idiots. And we wonder why were in a recession...

PS. Screw Steven Spielberg for helping this movie get to mainstream
