Blair Witch Project scared me SO much, haven't ever been able to watch it again lol.
I really want to see PA, a lot of my friends have said it's not that bad but I'm not convinced. I love scary movies but have to be in the right frame of mind to watch them.

I hated The Blair Witch Project, didn't find it scary at all. Paranormal Activity looks scary though

I dont really get what its about? Is it people staying in haunted houses and it being recorded??
My friend knows an adult that went and he couldnt sleep at night and he was hearing voices in the downstairs of his house and outiside.

Extremely effective chiller that's powers are all the more astounding when you consider that it was made for about 15,000 dollars, which would probably earn you, what, say 5 seconds worth of footage in a normal hollywood horror? It'll be really interesting to see what the director comes up with next.

I wanna watch it, I don't think I'll find it scary though Blair witch failed to scare me as a kid so I doubt this will as an adult. It does look very good though and it's slain Saw so it earns some points with me :laugh:

Its very strange that a horror movie finally is being bigged up by people.
The same with my friend, he doesnt get scared easily and is a huge horror fan, watched this and told me i must see it because its truelly frightening. Its about time that a horror is being spoken about as the horror genre has been flopping for a few years now.
I feel the need to see it, he gave me ratings on the last 2 horror movies he's seen, i always got The Fourth Kind, and Paranormal Activity confused but apparently its completely different. My friends ratings:
The Fourth Kind- 2.5/10
Paranormal Activity- 9/10

Yeh i just checked the stats, $15,000 is absoloutley nothing!! And it grossed $105m in USA and Canada alone which is alot and making it a HUGE success judging by the budget, it made like 500x more money than the amount spent and thats only from Canada and the US, i hope it does well over here, it will do judging by the Word of Mouth its recieving.
Saw this again earlier, even creepier! Wow.

Its soooo good
:/ I thought it was worse than Blair Witch Project. It was a bit creepy, but nothing to really write home about.

While I agree that it's nowhere near as wonderful as the Blair Witch, I still feel that the film possesses a genuinely eerie and sinister atmosphere that belies the miniscule budget that the director had at his disposal.

Agreed. Don't think it would work as well on the big screen.

:P I do have to give the production credit, miles creepier than anything released in the past year and on such a low budget. Still, it wasn't worth my $10.50

Brilliant film seriously. It was deffo one of the scariest films i've ever watched [along with Amityville Horror]. The ending just done it for everyone i think, the whole cinema was screaming their heads off.. and the bit where it says her whereabouts are unknown scared the crap outta my mate so she came out crying her eyes out. Deffo got alot scarier towards the end expecially the bed/dragging scene.

I want to see it but it looks so scary and the ending's meant to be real bad! :(

28-11-2009, 08:06 PM
I saw this today. Was really freaky.. ending was horrible :(
With so much hype, I was disappointed. I did not find it to be as scary as anticipated. I was more impressed with the budget and revenue.
There are several endings, three as far as I know, so not everyone is going to see the same thing.
No.1 overrated film.
The ending I seen when she got shot. My friend saw one though when she just smashes the camera.

I saw this yesturday, it was amazing!
Its so tense, when it goes to watching them sleep your just waiting for soemthing to happen, really worth watching, but yes, its quite scary!
Didnt like the ending though, I saw the same ending as you Ross.

I saw the ending where the guy was thrown into the camera.

Omg really?? Which ending did you see? I had no idea. And i sort of agree i don't think it's the scariest movie i've ever seen but it was deffo up there. Ending parts were awful though lol!

Same!!! That one was terrifying! Haha, he just gets thrown at it and she's standing in the back and walks up to camera and goes mad. Blood all over her. Deffo sounds the freakiest to me!!

Your ending sounds so much better,
mine was Katie rocking after killing Micah,
and police came upstairs she woke up from the rocking,
ran to the please saying Micah (knife in hand from killing Micah - obvs the demon was controlling her), and the police shot her.
But yeah it was great how the night scenes made me on edge all the time :thumbs:

Okay basically she got up out of bed stood watching Micha and the covers fell off him and he started to move a bit. Then she went downstairs and we couldn't see her hours later she started screaming [sounded awful] 'MICHAAAAA MICHAAAAA' so he jumped up and ran downstairs and they were both screaming then it goes silent for ages and all we can see is the doorway then all of a sudden he's hurled at the camera and that bit makes everyone scream. Then you see her in the doorway covered in blood and she runs up to the camera and smiles then goes maddd!

Wow! That actually sounds really really good, would be the cherry on the cake ending of the film (i.e. make everybody piss theirselves :joker:) Mine was just like yeahh, that ruined a good film.. Need to see this ending!!
Edit: we didnt even see her kill Micah, it was all downstairs while camera was upstair in their room.

Yeah we didn't see her actually do it but when he's hurled at the camera you know he's dead. But yeah deffo check out this ending because it was seriously scary. Everyone was just screaming their heads off! Perfect way to end it.

That sounds so good because I thought my ending let the film down somewhat. I watched it online so maybe there's alternate endings they're showing in different countries. Very clever stuff.

It is clever yeah, but honestly if you can try and see the ending i saw. Sounds the scariest one to me expecially as there's a long pause and silence. It comes out of nowhere.

Well for a Low Budget Movie
it is doing well from word of mouth.

At the end, she was possessed and stabbed her boyfriend. Then the police arrived and shot her.

Nah, wait for it on DVD or watch it online. The camera work would drive me nuts on the big screen.
I'm going to see this soon, scary films don't usually bother me but I'm ******** myself at the thought of this one LOL

I saw this on Saturday. It was worth seeing. But i would not say it was scary. It was creepy, not scary. It's definitely the type of film that makes you more scared after the film though. when you are alone at night, you hear a creek - it hits you then. But yeh, bit disappointed. I wouldn't say it deserves the hype it's getting, or being billed as "the scariest film in years". Worth seeing, and might get it on DVD when it's out. Just, I've seen scarier.

i think people are praising so high because of the really small budget it had
for only 15000 dollars they did a really amazing job

Yeh, it is incredibly well done for a small budget. I'll applaud them for that. But, still - I've seen scarier.

Just seen this for the first time, I watched it in the dark. Found it really scary, especially the end. I had the same ending as Christina, definitley sounds the worst one but I wish I would've had the police one, her smile when she was looking into the camera on the ending I saw is going to give me nightmares.
There's going to be a sequel too, released in October this year! Can't wait to see it!
