I liked the final scene and it was all build up to that moment, but really, this movie would have worked better as a 30 minute short film. And, man, did they find the two most unlikeable people on earth to be the leads? I was rooting for the demon to kill that douchebag by the third reel.

So the money spent on marketing isn't counted? That would really lower that 414,233 percent return on investment.

I had the ending where he was thrown into the camera. I am a pretty big wuss when it comes to scary shite though. I don't like things that go bump in the night. I am an avid door locker and closet checker

There was another one that was shown early on to test audiences, and one that was supposedly shown to only one test audience. But the one that everyone talks about (the one in the trailers that RUIN the movie) is the nationwide one, I'm pretty sure.

The boy friend wakes up and goes down to look for her. You hear a scuffle then she comes back in the room with a knife and blood on her shirt. She sits on the floor until the police arrive, then she gets up and runs towards the police and they shoot her. Another ending has her coming into the room with the knife. She walks up to the camera and slits her throat. I think the theatrical release was all the same ending.

I saw the previews, saw the guy being thrown at the camera, but in no way did I know that was how it was going to end. You can't tell he is dead from the trailer.

So the more and more the movie went along, I knew I hadn't seen that part yet. So at what was obviously the climax of the movie, I knew what was about to happen. I still liked it, but it would have been infinitely better if I wasn't expecting a particular thing to happen (another thing was the pulling off of the bed covers). It would have been much freakier if I was seeing it for the first time. That's why I say that.

I kept waiting for the part where he gets thrown backwards or something like what the preview showed. Maybe that was a different ending or something???

ezride25 SELA Member since Nov 2008 3354 posts	re: Paranormal Activity Hype... (Posted on 11/11/09 at 4:35 a.m. to CocomoLSU) I just watched it and like many movies thought the ending didn't deliver. It was a great buildup, slow at times yes, but I was thinking ok here it comes. The money shot, this is going to be great! Uh wut? Here is my ending... I think it's much better. So after she kills the douchebag boyfriend she walks back upstairs with the knife, lays back down in the bed, and says to this demon "I think we are going to be ok now." You know, like she's got some strange attachment to it. After she falls asleep the demon lights the ouija board on fire again, only this time it burns the whole house down while she is still in the bed. Amidst a commotion of cop cars, news cameras, fire fighters, and a gathering of friends and neighbors the girls best friend has a glassy stare come over her and mutters to no one in particular... "I think we are going to be ok now." Exit with creepy music. The most glaring weakness of this film's ending was that in never answered the question of how the demon came from that one girl who bit her arm off during the exorcism, and the girl that is the subject of this film. They should have hired me.
