How did the movie 'Paranormal Activity' come across to you?

My personal take on it was that it was entertaining but very amateurish. Why would anyone leave their bedroom door open to invite something horrible to come in?

    It was not even as entertaining as the Blair Witch Project. I was expecting to see something really dynamic, but I was quite disappointed. It came down to what I perceived would occur and how much I was willing to pay for it. I truly didn't like the ouija board inclusion either. I am sure that someone else would like this movie tremendously. God Bless!

    Well first of all, from a logical standpoint, it shouldn't matter if the door is open or closed as such paranormal entities can travel through walls and doors according to popular belief.

    But they have to kind of force into the story excuses for having filmed everything and allowing stuff to happen, or they wouldn't have a movie.

    The whole amateur look is written as part of the story. Also keep in mind, they had a 16k budget, which doesn't allow for a big Hollywood production type film.

    I think some of the fun of this story is people seeing how amateurish it is, and believing its a true story.

    First off what difference would it make if you were to leave the door open? This was a movie regarding a demon,it could enter any where it wanted to,it was up in the attic off the bedroom where the photo of Kate was found when she was a little girl other than that,I think they did a good job as far as building up the climax for the end,the beginning was a little slow and boring but all in all I think they did a good job,it managed to scare a lot of people and open their eyes to this phenomena,just my thoughts!

    Im in basic terms like all different lady! different than my eyes water any time i think there's a spirt in touch! Its loopy! It seems such as you have a follower. i've got had one because i grow to be 5, and im 24 now. each each now and then they do pass the line. different it deals with shifting. Everytime I circulate its like they get mad they had to pass away. For some reason its linked to the two you or your sister. It would not look an evil spirt. extra of one searching for interest. returned, each each now and then they pass too far. Mine as quickly as I first moved to the place i'm now might walk down the hallway and that i could desire to experience it. Now its frequent existence because it grow to be returned. they do unlike differences so which you would be conscious on each occasion there's a significant exchange invovled thats once you would be conscious them the main.

    it don't matter if the door is open or closed, if they want in they'll come in. i believe it was meant to look like that so it was more believable. like a lot of people asking if it is real. They accomplished that by the way it was made. How did it come across to me? Well I deal with spirits so it wasn't scary to me. i don't like the fact that spirits are always pointed out as being negative. But that Hollywood for ya.

    I watched it and it freaked the shite outta me, real or not i do belive somethings like this happen. I find it a bit stupid that they know something is in their house yet they still sleep with the door open, that would creep me out and i wouldnt be able to sleep for a start. The movie was good, entertaining thats about all
