What does one do to create hype on a movie filmed for only 15,000 dollars? They release it in less than fifteen theaters, of course. By playing the trailer on MTV (which doesn’t seem like it’s really music television anymore) and asking the public to “demand it” in theaters near them, Paranormal Activity seemed like the buzz everywhere. The hype didn’t disappoint in this incredible movie.
When Katie and her boyfriend Micah move into a new home, Katie finally reveals that ever since she was a child, she had believed that a ghost was haunting her. Micah doesn’t think it’s too big of a deal, except for the fact that she kept it from him for so long. When they get settled into their new house, the mysterious activity flares up, and Micah continuously dismisses it until Katie continuously expresses concerns. When they are informed that the entity is a demon- not a ghost, Micah continues to reject Katie’s fears- and provokes the demon entity even more.
The DVD versions come with an alternate ending, which was suggested by Stephen Spielberg. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly suggest it. It was great in the theater, and at home I’m sure it will be even scarier…you might notice similarities between things happening in the movie and in your own life…maybe you’ll have a friendly visitor too. Who knows? The movie just might provoke them enough to show themselves.
