litabrooks-23132 Do not judge this original film by its many sequels because this is a genuinely terrifying movie which deserves every accolade thrown its way. Its making has also become legendary in film circles- it was made for a mere 15,000 dollars, shot in one locations by part time actors but the manner with which the director goes about the story is astonishing. It literally made many people jump up in their seats. Of course, all depends on how one views this film and sitting with friends and beer won't do it any justice. Watch this one if you haven't already.

TMTheoM This is not by all means a perfect film, but it uses the found footage gimmick to great use, and offers some very creepy and scary moments. It's a step away from generic horror films, which makes it better. Not showing the monster, and having long periods of silence make us feel uncertainty and anxious, which is why I think it's an above average movie.

oliviapersson If you enjoy watching horror movies like I do you will love this one. If I watch a horror movie I want to be scared and have a hard time falling asleep, I don't want to forget it after one day. That's why this is a great horror film. I remembered when I was around 15 and couldn't even see half of it because it was too scary for me, but watching it now when I'm 20 it's still scary but I can barely see the whole movie. Things I love in this movie is the way they are filming it "homemade style" it makes it a lot more real and gets me feeling like it actually could happen. Everything something scary happens in this film I ether jump, look away or shiver which is exactly how you should feel while watching a horror movie!

lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Paranormal Activity" (R - 2007 - US)Sub-Genre: POV/ParanormalMy Score: 6.5Cast=3 Acting=7 Plot=8 Ending=8 Story=5 Scare=4 Jump=7 F/X=7 POV=9 Creep=7After a young, middle class couple moves into a suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night."Basically, they're these malevolent evil spirits that only exist to cause pain and commit evil for their own amusement." Although not particularly scary to me, this movie was fun to watch. It plays in the classic "Blair Witch" style of POV...starting out slow and building along until the last 15 minutes unlock the gates of Hell. If you ever see this on Blu-Ray, watch the alternate ending for some added enjoyment. You have to be a fan of Found Footage to consider this worth seeing...I'm a sucker for this stuff.
