last two shots

It was the first time I watched a DV-style horror film. At the beginning, I was not particularly used to that kind of shooting method. Although it was very realistic, it didn't have a little modification, and it was a bit more straightforward and simple. Without the gloomy and muffled background music of a typical horror movie, I could sit still and watch it all, otherwise I think I would have quit and just watched the end of the subtitles.
There are not many bright spots in the plot, at least I think so. The design of the suspense may be the bits and pieces recorded by that camera, especially those small and weird images in the second half of the night. Like many horror movies, when people start to relax and feel nothing special, it comes back with two scenes that it thinks are the most frightening, and then ends. Although it's a bit of a cliché, it still has a certain effect, at least a lot of people are scared.

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.
