I went to see Paranormal Activity at the Waterfront last night. It was pretty scary. I don't know if this counts as science fiction or not, but i figured it was close enough and scary enough that I could talk about it. Scary movies aren't my thing to begin with but this was even beyond that. I found myself watching it through my hands most of the time and I definitely didn't watch the last 10 seconds or so. I was told this was a good thing because those 10 seconds were terrifying. There were some people walking out of the theatre saying they were unimpressed. I'm sure some of these were legit but I could tell some of them were saying for "tough guy's" sake. After one kid remarked it was stupid, his girlfriend replied, "I think it's suppose to be fictional." Boyfriend was visibly and audibly relieved it wasn't a true story, much to his earlier statement.
I would tell more, but I don't want to ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it and want to. It comes out in more and closer theatres this weekend, Delmont and Greensburg Carmike theatres included.

I seen the previews for this movie and was debating on going to see it. Now that I saw your post you’ve sparked my curiosity even more. Now I have to go see it.
ReplyDeleteI'm always torn about movies like this. I'm hugely curious and I love paranormal-type things, but I'm a wuss. I never recovered from "The Exorcist." Just the other day, there was a nice news story about how Linda Blair rescues animals and I couldn't even look at her in the photo, all grown up, without imagining her head spinning around and spewing pea soup. Still, this movie has me wondering so much I've been scanning everywhere for spoilers. I feel like I know more about the movie than I would if I'd actually seen it. And even reading about it scares me. A little. A lot. Depends on the night. (As for folks who've called this the new Blair Witch Project, I suspect the only thing the two films have in common is their low-budgetness. "Blair Witch" wasn't scary. Not at all. I braved myself up to go see it and, well, nothing. This one sounds like it's the real scare-deal.)
