Initially receiving attention at Los Angeles' Screamfest, the small budget independent film entitled Paranormal Activity sat on the shelf for almost two years until Paramount Pictures took the reins and edited the film's conclusion.
Many famous people have interest in this movie. Steven Spielberg is rumored to have assisted in the changes to the final scene.
The film does not feature a large cast. The story focuses on Katie and Micah, a young pair undergoing some relationship strain, but who undoubtedly love and support each other.
They move into a new home in San Diego, which they soon believe to be haunted. Katie later describes that she is a firm believer in the occult and that a poltergeist has been following her around since childhood, and possibly caused the death of her sister.
Her boyfriend Micah has other ideas, and sets about to position his video camera to see if it records any ghost activity in the night.
Eventually, Micah captures some curious and inexplicable activity on video. At that point, he is persuaded of the presence of the poltergeist, which he succeeds in provoking further.
They decide it may be a good idea to enlist the help of a specialist. Unfortunately, the paranormal expert that came to the home said the ghost was to evil for him to help with.
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.
This is a very strong effort, albeit in a minor key, and shows how economical you can be with a story line and still keep the audience riveted for ninety minutes.
If you enjoy scary movies this is a must see. Unlike many of the newer scary movies this one will actually scare and entertain you throughout the film.
