Paranormal Activity

This is by far the most horrifying movie I have seen in a long while. The camera work is all "home movie" style, but they have done a good job not making it Blair Witch shaky-cam. The minor and downplayed effects add tons to the realism feel of the movie. Thanking them families of the deceased characters doesn't hurt either. I am the type of person who will start a movie later in the evening than I should, fall asleep in the middle, and then have to scene select in order to finish it the next day. With P.A., I was wide awake and occasionally glancing down the shadowy hallway behind me with cold chills. Folks, I watch a lot of horror and thriller movies. It takes quite a bit to get to me. I fully dare you to watch this movie alone at night...
