Paranormal Activity: one of the creepiest movie ever!

Happy Halloween! Every October I celebrate Halloween by watching scary movies every weekend. I love scary movies. I love alien scary. I love slasher scary. I love zombie scary. I love monster scary. But probably the scariest to me will be the ghost scary movies! Now, let me clarify something that I didnt understand before. Paranormal is not a ghost movie. It is a demon movie! There is a huge difference between ghost and demons! I thought The Grudge and The Ring were perhaps the scariest movies. But they are ghost movies. Which means that someone who died is haunting someone else. Now, movies like The Exorcist and Paranormal treat something not human: a demon. Scary! I saw the trailer and I said "I must see this movie!"

The most amazing thing about Paranormal is that it was made with $11,000 dollars. I just check box office mojo today Oct 27 and it has made $63,433,879. Seriously? I just saw it last saturday and it is one of the creepiest movie I have ever seen! This director/creator is a genius! And it was so much fun to watch it with a horror fan crowd. Girls were screaming. Guys were saying "Is this for real?" Lots of suspense, lots of buildup. And very unexpected weird stuff.

Now, many might think this was not scary at all. Others might say that it made them laugh. Still others might say it didnt live to the hype. Let me tell you that it all depends if you are a fan of this movies. If you like ghost/demon movies, then this is your movie! It is very realistic. Filmed as a documentary. But I think is even better than the Blair Witch, Cloverfield, Quarantine and Diary of the Dead! And I love all those.

I want to tell you all about the movie but I dont want to spoil any fun. Just make sure you go to a movie with some friends who are into it. Screaming girls are a must! Back in the beginning of October, I stood in line for a free screening at midnight during almost 3 hours! And I couldnt get in because there were probably 1,000 people in front of me! I am so glad it finally made it to the theater and I could purchase a ticket. Watch the trailer. If you like it and you love ghost/demon movies, this will be a very cool ride. I guarantee you will sleep with your door shut and locked and the lights one. Heck, you might even have to sleep with someone!

Alicia watched it with me, and she loved it. And she doesnt even like scary movies that much! She told me that she was not sleeping by the door that night! I said "Ok I will sleep by the door but I am locking it!" Paranormal Activity is a MUST!
