Paranormal Activity

amerindie

This was the latest in the faux home movie genre a la Blair Witch and it worked beautifully. A young couple have been plagued by ghoolies, ghosties and decide to film their hauntings. This leads to the usual annoying camera work but at least it was integral to the plot.

The film uses sound, you-are-there effects and the best use of silence I've seen recently. It gradually builds tension and I found the payoff just perfect.

Engrossing. Kudos.
