The scariest thing is to imagine

The young couple found something strange at home, so they wanted to capture it with a camera to find out why. The camera captured a lot of weird things, and the "ghosts" in the house became more and more violent. It is said that there are three versions of the ending. I have seen two: one is that the wife is driven crazy, the husband is killed by the crazy wife, and the crazy wife is beaten to death by the police; the other is that the husband is killed by the wife, the wife turns into a demon, disappears without trace.

Shooting horror movies in DV format has a unique advantage, that is, it saves money and effort. Like this film, it only cost $11,000 and took a week to shoot. Shooting with DV, scary things can never appear in the picture, just like in this film, the camera is shot in the empty bedroom many times, and the task of scaring people is done by the sound. In fact, it is done by the audience themselves, which is like telling a ghost story, and it is ultimately the listener who uses his imagination to scare himself.

Some people say that the things in the film that frighten the young couple and finally drive the wife crazy do not exist, they are completely out of the imagination of the two people. I think the director has no idea what those things are, or it doesn't matter what they are. This film is just to scare people, like telling people ghost stories, or hiding in a corner and jumping out to scare people. Jump, what's the point of this?

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.
