A bump in the night takes on a slightly more disturbing connotation after watching 'Paranormal Activity'
The word of mouth marketing for this movie has created its success and the initial comparisons to 'The Blair witch Project'.
Its true this movie wouldn't exist if it wasn't for 'Blair Witch'...but because of 'Blair Witch' this is a much more accomplished movie.
The story revolves around a couple Kate and Micah (not the camp pop star). Completely filmed in a handheld style and documenting the couples midnight paranormal activities! Though the movie is genuinely scary at times all credit goes to the lead actors that are convincing in their portrayal of a couple dealing with issues in their relationship. Issues that might or might not be the cause of the paranormal activity.
This is Oren Peli first feature and its a good effort. The movie has several endings so I'd like to see the rejected versions as the UK cinema release is the weakest aspect of the movie.
A sequel is already in pre-production so lets hope it doesn't go the same way as Blair Witch 2!
6/10
