A truly independent film made on a minuscule budget, "Paranormal Activity" first created a buzz at Screamfest in Los Angeles, then languished for nearly two years until Paramount Pictures decided to pick up the project and slightly change the ending.
Steven Spielberg is said to be a big fan of this film and reportedly had a hand in its final scene.
The movie is based around Katie and Micah. Katie and Micah are deeply in love with each other, even though they have some slight relationship porblems.
The couple relocates to a home in San Diego which they start to think could be haunted. As time passes, Katie explains her belief in the occult, and suggests that a poltergeist has shadowed her for many years. She even intimates that the ghost may have played a role in her sister's demise.
Micah is not necessarily convinced, so he attempts to make video recordings of any potential spirit activities that occur during the nighttime hours.
The results are not what Micah expects. The tape shows a ghost in the home and Micah concludes that antagonizing the ghost is a good plan.
A later meeting with a paranormal specialist proves unfruitful, when he leaves in a hurry, saying he is not qualified to help them with such an evil force.
Micah's antagonizing attitude toward the ghost persists, and he goes so far as to try to use a Ouija board to facilitate communication with the ghost. The film's action continues to increase to a startling and frightening crescendo.
It is very impressive that this simple, independent film could intrigue so many audience members. This shows that audiences are not only impressed by big movie budgets, but by the content of the movie itself.
Overall I found Paranormal Activity very entertaining and quite scary at times. This is definitely a film worth seeing if you're in the mood to be scared.
