Initially receiving attention at Los Angeles' Screamfest, the small budget independent film entitled Paranormal Activity sat on the shelf for almost two years until Paramount Pictures took the reins and edited the film's conclusion.
Steven Spielberg is said to be a big fan of this film and reportedly had a hand in its final scene.
The main characters are few. Katie and Micah are a young couple having minor relationship struggles, but they are clearly in love and supportive of one another.
They move into a new home in San Diego, which they soon believe to be haunted. Katie later describes that she is a firm believer in the occult and that a poltergeist has been following her around since childhood, and possibly caused the death of her sister.
Micah is not necessarily convinced, so he attempts to make video recordings of any potential spirit activities that occur during the nighttime hours.
The results are not what Micah expects. The tape shows a ghost in the home and Micah concludes that antagonizing the ghost is a good plan.
They decide it may be a good idea to enlist the help of a specialist. Unfortunately, the paranormal expert that came to the home said the ghost was to evil for him to help with.
Micah's antagonizing attitude toward the ghost persists, and he goes so far as to try to use a Ouija board to facilitate communication with the ghost. The film's action continues to increase to a startling and frightening crescendo.
It is very impressive that this simple, independent film could intrigue so many audience members. This shows that audiences are not only impressed by big movie budgets, but by the content of the movie itself.
On the whole, Paranormal Activity is a tremendously enjoyable, often terrifying ride. Anyone who enjoys subjecting themselves to fright by film should give it a try.
