Paranormal Activity***** email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies3 months ago

"Paranomal Activity would like to thank the families of Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston, and the San Diego Police Department." This is the first thing that you see when this movie starts...

It starts off introducing the cute couple--they're boht lovable people...the guys funny, the girl puts up with him...lol.

So, the story is something has been "following" this girl since she was 8 years old, wherever she goes, it ends up. Now, she is living with her boyfriend, and whatever 'it' is has come back for one last attack, torturing them emotionally and mentally throught out their nights.

This movie is THE SCARIEST movie I have seen IN MY LIFE. If you don't like movies, don't go to this!!

Usually after I see a scary movie (like The Descent or Pandorum) I think to myself how it was fun to get scared....halfway through this movie I kept saying to myself 'this is NOT okay!' I did not enjoy the way this made me feel, I really thought I would have a heart attack from the suspense and horror of it.

My sister wants to know why I won't buy it on DVD when it comes out...Simple. I don't want that movie in any house that I am living in....

I would never tell someone that it's a bad movie, don't go. It is a good movie, just TOO scary for me....so this movie is NOT for the faint of heart!!!!!

So is that the name of the movie? "paranormal activity? Sorry was unclear on that..Sounds like an awesome movie to see..I love real true stories about the paranormal..thanks...lori


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Yes, it's called Paranormal Activity. It is in VERY select theaters right now, you can go to it's website and demand it in your area if it isn't already there. But I know it's going to get such an uproar they may open it in wide release soon.

I've seen the preview... hope it scars the h*ll out of me... Does anyone here know a site where we can watch it??? I think they won't be showing that movie here in our area...


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

It will scare AND scar the h*ll out of you! lol.

It's probably not the best idea to watch it on your computer...but if you go to their website, you can demand it in your area if it isn't already there. I had to demand it, and about 2 days lady it came here!

Plus, it is getting so much hype, it'll probably start showing everywhere.

You're tougher than I am young'in. I can't watch scary movies unless they're spoofs like Scary Movie. Scary movies freak me out. They make me afraid in my own home and I don't like that. You've found a movie that has made you feel the way I've always felt about horror films in general. I don't find them fun because they freak me out. I wish I did find them fun, actually, nah. I like comedies, love stories, etc. I can live without horror movies. But I've been like this all my life, even as a kid, never really wanted to watch those movies.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

The scary movie spoofs are funny! lol. I like the Scream movies too, I've seen them all.

I think usually other horror movies I see aren't as scary because they aren't as real as Paranormal Activity seems. But when I tried to go to sleep today I couldnt stop thinking of the movie! I would try to think of something else but couldnt concentrate on it! lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (4418)   ranked 64 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Yup, been like that all my life. Can not watch real horror movies, only spoofs.

I have seen the trailer.I am not really a scaredy cat,but based on the trailer alone,I WILL NOT watch this movie.I will not be able to sleep when I see it.I don't care if I'm the only person on earth who'll never watch it.I want to sleep soundly.I haven't gotten over being scared of that blanket scene in the Japanese horror movie "The Grudge".I will do myself a favor and will not watch another horror movie who will give me the chills.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

I dont think you'll be the only person on earth who won't see this movie lol:D I think many people feel the same way as you...

I saw the Grudge, I can't quite remember the blanket scene in it...is that when it looks like something is slithering up from the foot of the bed towards her, and she lifts it and the girl is there? I HATED the whole part in that movie when the girls jaw is ripped off OMG! (But paranormal activity is scarier than the grudge!) lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. my_name_is_coco (2340)   ranked 2,548 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

yes it is!cryI actually hate that part and wasn't able to sleep in my own room with a blanket for several months!


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

That scene in the Grudge was defeniatly good and scary!!!:)

But every scene (once it starts getting scary) is scarier than anything the grudge has...it's all about the suspense and the "not seeing"....with the grudge you see the ghosts (FYI it isnt a ghost in P.A)...but you don't ever really see the thing in Paranormal Activity, and thats SCARY! lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. my_name_is_coco (2340)   ranked 2,548 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

oh my!it is indeed scarier!cry


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

YES! And I just got an email--Paranormal Activity is going to be released World Wide! So everyone can see it and get the crap scared out of them!! lol

Thanks for the warning. I seldom go to the movies, its been years. As a matter of fact the last movie I saw was Garfield, The Movie. LOL. Most movies and programs about the paranormal make me feel very uncomfortable anyway.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

lol--I really don't like ghosts and stuff like that...while I was closing my eyes and plugging my ears during the movie I kept asking myself "WHY do I continue to go to these movies!" lol

When I first read your post I thought this has to be a viral marketing but then I checked your postcount so I guessed not.

This movie sells itself with a slogan "scariest movie ever made" but I doubt it could live up to it. I dunno, I've seen the trailer that didn't show anything at all but that works with me cause I like mystery.

I'd like to see a movie that would scare the crap out of me but I don't believe movies can really scare you anymore today. I mean when someone plays horror games it's much more frightening experience because you're facing monsters scarier than anything ever appeared on the big screen and they're going after YOU and not some guy on the screen. I still enjoy watching horror movies even tho they don't scare me but I hope this one will do it somehow...

What's so scary about this movie anyway? Should I watch it alone at home or in the cinema for the better experience?


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

stupid question on my part...what do you mean you thought this was viral marketing from me? lol

DEFENIATLY see it in theaters with other people around! The big screen and surround sound will make it SOOO much scarier for you! And I agree that most movies made today won't scare you becuase they are all about blood and gore and not actual terror....Paranormal Activity is ALL TERROR!

My sister and me were both literally cringing in fear during the movie, and I kept hiding my face against her shoulder or just turning towards her and pluggin my ears lol. And her face was PRICELESS some of the times (boo! there is no SCARED smiley face I can use on here!) lol. But some of her facial expressions said, "oh my god! NO!" lol (I probably looked worse:P)

This movie will not dissapoint! It IS defeniatly the scariest movie ever made that I've seen! (In all fairness I've never seen The Exorsist and I never will) lol


myLot reputation of 81/100. Bionicman (1492)   ranked 124 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

About viral marketing...I've heard they pay people to post on different forums about how this is the scariest movie ever. Actually I've seen some of those post but not yet on mylot.

Now I really want to see this. Hope it's at least half as frighting as you say.

You should watch exorcist btw. It's not really scary but it's pretty good.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Bionicman (1492)   ranked 124 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Seriously, what's so scary about this movie?


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

OH! I wasnt paid to say how scary this movie is, it does that all by itself!!!

It's kind of hard to explain why it's so scary, and it shouldnt be that difficuly! lol...it's just the way they decided to film it. You never really see the thing that is possessing this girl...all you get is a lot of scary sounds and things happening, but you never see this thing! That makes it scary! lol

And on a side note...at one point you see it's footprint, and they look like hand prints to me, which for some reason is one VERY creepy to me! lol.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Bionicman (1492)   ranked 124 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

I think I might like it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Well good! It's coming out in wide release now!!! So just check your nearest movie theater and see when it's coming out!!!:D

For me the scariest movie is exorcise.Actually I already saw infront of my own eyes the women that possesed by something.Her voice very terrible and scary.My experience match with the Linda Blair in that movies.


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

I have never seen the Exorsist, and I never will. But my dad has, and he compared Paranormal Activity very highly too it...if you do go to this movie just remember while you're watching it: if you think the middle of it is bad enough, wait until the last 10-15 minutes....I swear I thought they would have to carry me out on a stretcher!!!! lol

Hey,
I havent seen any freaky movie for a long long time . I dont find movies scary these days and actually the real life is a lot more freakish that to c anything scary in the threatre, lol.
Well if i get an oppurtunity then c this one. The problem is if I go with my friends, they are all pranksters and they will make a mockery of the movie.
So instead of getting scared we may have plenty of laught, which is good too lol.

Cheers,
Tutul


myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Well this movie is done so well it seems like it's really happening. It's filmed the same way Cloverfield and Blair Witch Project were, so you're right there in the action! But this movie is 100 times scarier then either of those movies!!

Don't let your friends ruin this movie for you! Getting scared is the reason you go to this movie, and it's the fun part of seeing it!!!

Is it scary from suspense, or from gruesome, gory scenes? See, I hate gore! Suspense is fine, but gore is a "must be sure to miss it" for me! I have this odd idea that people's innards should stay in 'em. Otherwise they'd probably be called outards...right?

myLot reputation of 95/100. LilyoftheThorns (3797)   ranked 5 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

lol, i'm with you...i HATE blood and gore and when I go to a movie to get scared and thats all there is I'm very disapointed.

THERE IS NO GORE in this movie...there is some blood but it isnt gory/graphic in any way--and it's only literally in the last 1 minute of the movie--that's it.

This movie is TRUELY just SCARY.


myLot reputation of 56/100. Maggiepie (1543)   ranked 1,416 out of 11,406 in watching movies  3 months ago

Okay, scary's okay. Frankly, though, I kind of wish a movie could scare me at my age! It's been mumbldy-mumble decades since any "scary" movie earned that title for me! lol

Well I can't 100% garuntee that this movie will scare you:D But I can say it would scare my entire family and all my friends! lol.

I think it is defeniatly worth giving it a chance--even if it doesn't scare you, it's a good/entertaining movie:)

10. myLot reputation of 56/100. Maggiepie (1543)   ranked 1,416 out of 11,406 in watching movies   3 months ago

Thinking back, the scariest film I ever saw was "The Day After," (I think that's the name--with Jason Robards?). It's about a nuclear attack on middle America--one of my personal nightmares from childhood on, & I had to watch it alone! Elic, ol' pal ol' buddy, went to bed & left me there with a film about one of my deepest fears! w00t

But you know what? Oddly, after I saw it, I actually felt calm & relieved. It totally laid my fears about it to rest. There's just such an ineffable comfort in coming to peaceful terms with your own, impending death, no matter how painful. You know you only have to put up with it for 2 weeks or so--then it's over, & you've gone to meet your Maker.

Very good movie. I highly recommend it. thumbup

I'm not sure if I've ever heard of that movie or not...is it new?

Movies with large amounts of deaths and world wide destruction always upset me!! Titanic, War of the Worlds, Knowing...I'm dreading 2012--but I know somehow I will end up seeing it! lol
