Halloween Flick: Paranormal Activity

By Katie on 8 October 2009  |  No Comments

Whether you’re a thrill junkie or not, scary movies are perfect for a date. What better way to get that gal burying her head in your chest with her arms around your neck than a gore-filled spook-fest? Or maybe your man is a scaredy-cat who leaps three feet out of his seat every time Jason jumps out with his axe. With Halloween just around the corner, we wanted to talk about a slightly different kind of scare-filled flick that’s been garnering a great deal of attention and critical praise – Paranormal Activity.

Filmed mockumentary-style (think Blair Witch Project) and on a minimal budget, this indie horror focuses on a young couple who have moved into a new home and the disturbing presence that comes with it. On a nightly basis, they experience something out of the ordinary, and they decide to get to the bottom of it by filming themselves while they sleep. Apparently it’s totally hair-raising!

Thing is, Paranormal Activity has seen only very limited theatrical release in a few select cities. So, they’re rounding up the masses online via various social media outlets and asking them to demand that Paranormal Activity be screened in their city…and the response has been overwhelming. Over 600,000 people have demanded to see Paranormal Activity, and that’s certainly enough to justify a major theatrical release for this little indie that could.

So does Paranormal Activity sound like its right up your alley? Would you take a date to this movie to celebrate some Halloween spirit?
