"He flew from the dark and I screamed. "Paranormal Activity" is one of the most intense movies I’ve seen in my life. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good scary movie that was worth my time, but this one kept me on the edge of my seat.

"Paranormal Activity" was written and directed by Oren Peli. He sent out a cast to find people that had problems with paranormal activities in their homes. The cast found Katie and Micah and Peli talked to the couple about the haunting.

After they talked and had an understanding on what Oren wanted, he handed the couple a camera and told them to record themselves during the day and night. Katie has been haunted since she was 8 years of age. The young couple wanted to figure out what was going on in their home. As they were filming themselves sleeping at night, Katie becomes deeply shaken and worried about ticking off some evil entity.

Micah is a somewhat macho, daring and welcoming this unknown visitor to come out and fight. They go through multiple horrifying events throughout the movie. Katie is beyond terrified about this "thing" and she wants nothing more than for it to go away. They do little things they think will help such as using; baby powder, cameras and voice recordings. They even bring in an exorcist to help, but he won’t even help because the spirit’s energy is too powerful and full of hate. In fact, he won’t even enter the house.

Micah manages to record several phenomena – like objects moving on their own, lights and televisions switching on and off and sounds ranging from voices and growls to footsteps and loud thuds. The strange occurrences in the middle of the night soon involve Katie awakening to spend several hours standing by the bed and staring at a sleeping Micah, and going outside to sit on the backyard swing. Then Micah would tell Katie about it the next morning and show her the video, and she wouldn’t know what he was talking about, she had no idea she was doing that.

The great thing about this is that it isn’t your typical scary movie. It’s a must see for all people looking for a good scare. I recommend this film to teens, "tweens," and adults that aren’t easily scared when it comes to supernatural activities. I would give "Paranormal Activity" a "B+" because although it was an extremely good, suspenseful movie, it was at times repetitive and tedious. It would get an "A" if they would have had more action during the movie, instead of sleeping and waking up being the majority of the plot. "Paranormal Activity" is now at the Paramount Theater, commonly known as the "Dollar Theater." Tickets are actually $3.50 and $2.50 on Tuesdays or matinees.
