So, some week ago I heard about this movie that supposedly was the scariest movie of all time. The movie's called Paranormal Activity and I looked it up because it sounded quite interesting. I watched the trailers and laughed at the people who screamed like crazy because of this movie. So, of course I had to watch it myself. Andrej fixed the movie today and we sat down with some candy on his bed and started watching.
If you don't know what the movie is, it's a movie about a couple that lives in a big house and were they woman experiences ghosts or paranormal stuff going on during nights. To convince her boyfriend, he's decided to put up a camera in their bedroom. On the tape they later find what goes on when they sleep but soon they can barely sleep anymore because of the noises and bla bla this thing makes.
We watched it and it just finished. All I can say is - why the hell do people sit in a theater screaming like idiots because of this movie? Me and Andrej found it more funny than scary and didn't quite understand the hype around all this. We only saw this after hearing how scary it was over and over and over. However I was deeply disappointed. I didn't find it very scary at all. If anything I found that the filmmaker went through great lengths to ensure it wasn't scary by never building up any level of tension as the movie made sure to point out exactly when something 'scary' was going to happen.
Nothing ever really happened in it other than noises from someone walking around in the dark (but that you couldn't see) making thud sounds, turning lights on a off and so on. Both Andrej and I know too well how movies are made which possibly have spoiled movies like this for us forever. Probably a good thing too because this was crap. Building up tension with crap sounds just so you know exactly when something is going to happen? What crap. I sat there laughing at many times because the entire situation displayed before me was so pathetic. You see them sleeping and the camera is sped up because nothing is going to happen and then all of a sudden camera goes back to normal speed and bam! something happens. How predictable!
No this movie was by far the lamest movie I've seen lately.
