So as many of you know, Paranormal Activity has been advertised as one of the scariest movies out there right now. Well they're right. Paranormal Activity takes horror mockumentaries to the next level.

As I was going up to the ticket booth to buy my ticket, I couldn't help but notice a large sign that read, "Warning: Paranormal Activity has been shown to cause nausea and dizziness amongst viewers". I thought, "How bad could it be??" I should have heeded the warning. The movie's Blair Witch Project Home movie quality, with a person holding a hand held camcorder makes for a shaky image and definitely adds to the suspense......and the nausea.

The first half of the movie is not horrifying in terms of scary scenes, but I think that this makes the movie even scarier. You know that its coming you just don't know when. The first half even, dare I say it, takes a lighter more funny tone. Paranormal Activity chronicles the tale of Katie and Micah, a couple who just moved into a new home when strange things and weird noises begin to manifest themselves in their new house. Katie who believes in the paranormal believes that it is ghosts while Micah is harder to convince until much later after a series of events, Micah begins to believe it is ghosts as well. This is when Micah decides to put up a camera in the house to make sure the ghosts are captured if they decide to show up. Thus, the latter half of the movie however is much different than the former half. This is where you begin to actually see the Paranormal Activity.

Although it did give me a good scare, and it was one of those movies that is sort of a guilty pleasure, Paranormal Activity is not for all. Many found that it was too intense, while others think it was not scary at all. So view at your own risk, I suppose. You be careful not to get too nauseous in the movie theater!
