More Found Footage



PARANORMAL ACTIVITY-2007-Did you ever see one of those obviously phony "paranormal" or "poltergeist" videos on YouTube? Well this "found footage" ghost/horror story is just like one except it's longer and more boring! A couple (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) believe their house is haunted and decide to film the goings on. Most of it is talking, false scares, lights going on and off and strange noises. The wife seems to be possessed at times. Can't see how this could get a major release and spawn sequels! But it did! 

Director Oren Peli also made the equally disappointing THE CHERNOBYL DIARIES.

Thanks for reading!

I can fully understand why Blair Witch Project was a hit but this one utterly perplexes me. Acting royally sucks, characters are boring, nothing the least bit scary happens (they can't even get to "mildly creepy") and at the end I was like "That's IT?!"
