Hmmm.... "Paranormal Activity"

The ending just disappointed me as it seemed like it was aimed at the kiddies, like "here's the action you've been waiting for". It's like they stooped down a level and it just didn't go with the film.

As for the Blair Witch Project, I only saw the first. It was cool, although I found it somewhat boring and it really didn't do much for me. This movie hits harder I think as it shows how vulnerable we are while asleep. Definitely creepy stuff. Hopefully this movie won't get an unnecessary sequel, knowing Hollywood though it likely will.

The alternate ending is far better. I guess Steven Speilberg suggested the current ending.

Also, it didn't click with me till I got home but the 3:15 am time is creepy. It hit me putting my boy to bed....... 1+5 =6......... 3 (666).......

Sounds like a good scary movie.


I despise ghost hunters, btw. They try to pretend like they're doing a real "scientific" investigation, yet all their evidence is ridiculously flimsy and flawed.

Them claiming they go into every investigation looking to disprove a haunting is laughable.

I guess I am truly confused. I have seen enough of that show and researched enough of the paranormal to be baffled by what your saying. The show most of time can be pretty lame, but they have at times found things through evidence such as recordings via video and audio that are pretty hard to say are not concrete. These pieces of evidence are analyzed by many other people such as audio/visual experts to prove that they have not been tampered or hoaxed. They continue through trial and error to help develop paranormal science. Their method of investigating is in fact to disprove before anticipating anything. Looks and sounds awfully scientific to me. So I don't get any argument on how that is not their method of operation. There have been many an episode where they have completely disproven paranormal activity and there have been a few where they actually caught people trying to fool them with speakers in the walls, etc. But afterall it is a tv show. It is produced for entertainment.

I get it that you look at everything through a science book, but there are a great deal of people dating back long before modern science that have been claiming much of the same type of experiences. Science has not quite caught up to something that may or may not exist. Narrow mindedness certainly won't help scientific discoveries. T.V. shows aside if you don't believe it and want to walk around in a box, than thats fine but there are a great deal of things that science has yet to explain.

As in another thread we had on ghosts a few months ago I told my experience and there were multiple individuals who were right there with me who experienced precisely the same thing I did. It was not a matter of hearing a creeky noise and the mind playing tricks. Frequent occurences happened for close to an hour and over several days in fact. Just because you have not experienced anything does not mean that it is not happening. Proving paranormal activity through evidence is not as easy as taking a water sample and putting it under a microscope. Sorry for the novel, but I needed to voice that.

I just returned from watching this & am wondering how I will ever get my $9.25 &/or 99 minutes back.

This movie is just plain bad in my opinion. It may be that I just don't scare easily, I don't know... It's not as good as the Blair Witch & that wasn't even scary. Oh, well.

I don't mess with demons. That kinda stuff really gets me. I guess it's because they're real and there's nothing you can do to stop them...

I watched this last night.I don't know if I believe in paranormal stuff or not but this film had me going.I actually didn't know if it was a movie or a documentary,so I guess that's what had me thinking is this real or what.

The Blair Witch was an all time lame,this flick on the other hand,at least had some decent acting.

Enjoyed the film but the ending did blow.

I thought this movie was outstanding. Very realistic feel to it and felt very natural. I'm not easily impressed by horror movies especially ones that are just scary images but I really enjoyed this movie. This and Drag Me To Hell are the two best horror movies I've seen in a while.

I just downlo.......I mean went to the theater and watched the movie and thought it was kinda creepy but not the scariest movie of all time. I still like Blair Witch better and it's a toss up between the original and theatrical endings.


Why not keep the bedroom door shut/locked and all the lights on?

I think it could get in anyway... I mean, it's invisible, it doesn't have to follow rules.

I would have just slept outside, or only during the day.

Just a heads up. The version going around the internet has a different ending than the theatrical version because its the one that hit the festival circuit before it was picked up for distribution

I saw this movie 3 nights ago, i was ok but honestly when it comes to demons and paranormal activity it wasn't nearly as entertaining as the weekly TV show Supernatural.
I was thinking the whole time, if Sam and Dean were here this movie would have been over 45 minutes ago..

I love Supernatural...it's somewhat scary, but also humorous
