I didn't sleep well last night...

Last night, at about 12:20, after watching "Beauty is not bad", I suddenly remembered that I have not watched the PA yet. So, I simply opened it and watched it. Before watching this movie, I heard a lot of negative reviews, saying that the movie was average, and it seemed like a 'you get what you pay for' movie or something. However, I still insist on keeping my opinion.

I watched the PA and it was almost 2 o'clock. I couldn't calm down, I couldn't sleep. I really like this kind of shooting. I want to say what the director said, it does give people a very real feeling. It's easy for me to get into the play, so after watching it, my mind kept reminiscing about the last scene (of course, I saw the ending one, not the second)--the hero was thrown at the camera by the heroine, and then he smiled grimly at the camera write. I was lying on the bed, afraid to let out the air, afraid that I would hear something I shouldn't have heard. I replayed the movie scene by scene in my mind. The heroine is dragged out of bed, from the bedroom to the other room, shouting 'Micah', that kind of heart-wrenching, fearful and helpless cry is really unforgettable. The heroine gets up and sleepwalks inexplicably. . .

There's only one feeling 'really real' after watching the full movie, it feels like something that could be happening around. I searched for this film on Wiki. It turns out that the director was very timid. The film showed what he said was afraid, and he used his own house to shoot. Haha, if I were him, I wouldn't go back to that house! I admire the director and dare to challenge myself. In fact, human beings are afraid of the unknown world. As the saying goes 'people scare people to death', and it's true.

Let's see what kind of movie you go with. I used to know a person who would laugh while watching horror movies. She just didn't believe in ghosts. She saw other people being frightened but laughed there, thinking they were stupid and frightened by things that didn't exist. I admire her very much, but unfortunately, I can't do it. Because, I still believe in these things, as the saying goes, it is better to believe that there is something or not. So, be prepared to be frightened when you watch it. (However, I have always liked horror films!)

In short, as the director's debut, this is a good horror film, challenge your own psychology, it is worth recommending! (Also, Spielberg modified the film's ending to show appreciation for Oren Peli.)

(I heard there was going to be a sequel, and I wasn't looking forward to it at all, because I didn't want to see it screwed up. Like The Blair Witch Project was a huge success back then, but the second one was terrible.)

Paranormal Activity quotes

  • Micah: I understand where you're coming from- just remember too, that you didn't exactly warn me about this kind of stuff before we moved in together, so I think I have a little bit of say in what we do.

    Katie: I get that, but honestly what was I supposed to say? On our first date, 'Hey, I think there's a demon that I think has been following me.'

    Micah: No, but maybe on our fifteenth date, or our thirtieth date, or when we decided to live together... that might've been a good thing to bring up.

  • Micah: Hey, hey hey hey hey! Let's talk about this first. It's just, I'm in control, I'm making progress.

    Katie: No, you haven't been having any progress, and you're *not* in control. *It* is in control, and if you think you're in control, then you're being an idiot! Not a single thing you've done has helped, and I'm sorry, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the camera hasn't helped and the stupid footprints haven't helped; do you think that thing would have left footprints if it didn't want to? No! It did it because it wanted to! It wanted you to find my photo, it can be anywhere, it hears what we're saying right now.

    Micah: Hey! How the fuck do you know?

    Katie: You are absolutely powerless!

    Micah: That's, that's not at all true, and you know it.

    Katie: Well, get over it.
