you people do realize the movie is NOT based on a true story….because if it was it would be all over the news and i dont think the directors and cops would allow the actual videos of the two people experiencing paranormal stuff.

Absolute shittiest movie ever. Ohhhhh waste of my fucking time.

This movie was a total waste of time! Very disappointing. The 2 actors were horrible. A guy and his girlfriend all alone in the movie director's house with a cheap camera and a few fake sound effects. Anyone could have pulled this off much better. Scariest movie of the decade? What a lie! Crappiest B rated piece of **** ever.

P.S: I also recommend to not to watch this movie if you have seen the official trailer. It just spoils the 'horror' by leaking the best parts. I am also thanking my stars that I didn't watch the trailer. Else, it would have been a piece of sh*t for me as well.. :-D

Whoa! That was a little TOO CREEPY for my liking…superb movie and sound effects…it really made me jump out of my seat more than once! Must Watch! Especially in the Movie Theater…you will have a blast, literally. And not to mention what an insomniac you can be on the night you watched the movie.
*CHILLS*

This was not a horror movie it was a HORRIFIC movie! One of the worst pieces of crap I've ever seen. Stay home and take a nap. Don't waste your money or time on this one. If you have seen the trailer then you have seen the best parts.

Boring, not scary, not interesting, bad acting, horrible picture, cheap piece of shit! This is by far the shittiest, most boring movie I have ever seen, If you thought this was good shoot yourself in the face and rid yourself from the gene pool please!

I just watched this movie and was VERY disappointed! It was a waste of time to watch and was not scary at all! I was so excited to see this movie and am completely shocked at how boring and awful it was. I would not recommend ANYONE to waste their time or money on this movie! I still cannot believe it sucked so bad!

I saw the movie this past saturday and i can say it made me jump a couple of times. This movie proves that you don't have to spend millions of dollars to make a scary movie. I see how some people thought it wasn't scary and it was stupid. those people like horror movies like the Blob and jason where there's blood, and why i don't know but sex. theres nothing wrong with those kinds of movies. but i love movies where the suspense is worse then what u actually see. i don't believe in ghosts but i imagined myself being in the room sleep and that right there is what is scary. its a good movie and if you like scary movies you should go see it. i even went by myself cause my boyfriend or any of my friends do scary movies. i know it sounds stupid but i slept with my door closed that nite! lol!

Disappointed! Every scary part (apart from the dragging?) was shown in the trailer! Completely spoiled it for me.

this movie was just great!… i drove about 50 miles to go see it, and couldn't really sleep at night. I would look at my girlfriend and make sure no stuff like that was going on. I would highly recommend this movie, but don't watch it alone. Or sleep with someone, I guess. It is true, the beginning of the movie isn't that interesting, but pay attention so you don't miss any details. You will enjoy the ending. Now go to the nearest movie theather playing this movie and scream all you can

This was THE worst movie I have EVER seen. I was bored out of my mind. This movie was not at all frightening…. WORST movie, WORST. Save your money.

I saw this movie last week-end. We drove 50 miles because it was not showing locally. I'm sorry to say but I was disappointed in the movie.

It was a little creepy, but the characters just made me angry with they handled the disturbances that I found myself thinking through out the movie "why don't they turn on a darn light". No one in their right mind would do half the stuff these two did. Also the ending was very lame, and the camera work is jumpy, so for those who get motion sickness, they may want to avoid this one.

I have told my friends not to waste their movie and just wait for it to come out on video. The one good thing I can say about the movie is it doesn't have blood and gore in it which is a nice change.

@No-nonsense: I agree. I'm all for new filmmakers; however, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen if not the worst. Based on the review, I feel like I went to see a different movie. I've never fallen asleep in a movie theatre until this movie. There was alot of nothing going on. There was a moment or two in which the audience woke me with their screams and upon opening my eyes, I found that I missed nothing. The best part of the movie was the ending which I believe was part of the trailer. I will watch Twilight 10 tiimes over before seeing this movie again. I will applaud the filmer for just having a limited budget on this movie and getting suckers like myself to see it.

I saw it last night, boy did I have a hard time falling asleep afterwards! Absolutely chilling movie! Probably one of the scariest movies I've seen if not the scariest. It's refreshing to see movies like this don't use the typical gore and blood and computer generated effects to get cheap screams. I agree that it should be seen in the theater…although some of the audience noise was a bit annoying at times. But it was worth it to see a bunch of people run (not walk) out of the theater after scary scenes! GO WATCH PLEASE!!!

Another movie that is coming out that offers a clean alternative is ‘’Paranormal.’’ Below is some additional information about this new thriller!!

Paranormal, the latest supernatural thriller from Cross Shadow Productions, (the
creators of the Dove.org approved, best-selling BMG releases: Pray and Pray 2:
The Woods) will be available in stores nationwide January 26th 2010. The 2009 Mrs. America is starring in it.

See more information and trailers at:

Following the success of family-friendly suspense/thriller The Exorcism of Emily
Rose (Sony Pictures), comes a riveting supernatural thriller in the vein of the hit
SyFy television series, Ghost Hunters and Frank Peretti's House (Roadside
Attractions / Lionsgate).

Paranormal follows best-selling, self-made novelist Greg Evans struggling through the worst case of writer's block in his award-winning career. In a desperate search for
inspiration, Greg quickly finds himself immersed in a world he is not prepared to face.
Turning to a group of paranormal investigators, Greg and the ghost hunting team search for proof and answers, yet are unaware they are about to have an experience of a lifetime! None will leave the way they came. Paranormal will peel back the supernatural curtain to reveal how The TRUTH will EXPOSE the darkness!

Matt – just because YOU didn't like the movie, doesn't make it stupid….to make such a sweeping generalization is an insult to all the people who were actually affected by it…people can either suspend disbelief and let their imagination run wild…or they can't – you clearly can't – don't blame the movie for that….blame your DNA….

Just watched this movie today for the midnight showing. Amazing movie, I rarely get freaked out off of horror movies but this one really shines on entrancing the viewer straight into the movie.

Although slow to start in the beginning moments of the movie, the added humor in the conversations between the couple and night scenes helps keep the movie going until the latter spine tingling parts of the movie. Note that the near ending scenes are a mindf*ck. I say that with the upmost emphasis.

Pay to see Paranormal Activity? Don't waste a dime a second on this one! It's a paranormal activity already that this movie is even getting promoted and shown like a real movie. F for grade.

Even if you say see it in theatres, I really don't want to. When I'm watching a horror movie, I want to hear every detail in the audio, and get completely sucked into the atmosphere and environment. That just doesn't happen in a theatre full of screaming people. Hearing everyone just annoys me since I want to listen to the actual movie.

I'm sure it wouldn't be packed enough in my area to cause much of a problem, so I may try to find a showing around here, though highly doubtful it's playing here, and hopefully it will be less crowded.

With all this buzz and great reviews why can't Paramount give it a proper release. With an $11,000 budget what do they have to lose. I don't get it!

Wow. Goddamn, that's a positive review! I'm really excited to see this now! It's actually playing at a theater 10 minutes away from my dorm, but it's only doing midnight showings, and I have a 24-hour film challenge this weekend that effectively postpones such a movie outing. I hope this has a smashing first weekend followed by an aggressive expansion!

If this is scarier than "The Descent"…*shudders*

I can't wait. I'll go on and demand it right now.
