Review of Paranormal Activity (2007) by Markd — 07 Dec 2009

I can see why this movie would divide opinion. It's not a typical in your face Hollywood horror. No, less is more is what this is about. It's subtle and it plays on your childhood fears of the dark, noises in the night ect.

It's a slow burner too so those without any patience or imagination will obviously wonder what all the fuss is about for the first 3/4 hour or so. But those who get it will see the pacing and subtly as the films greatest strengths.

So give Paranormal Activity a chance. Yes, you might hate it and it almost certainly won't get to you straight away.
