I went to the first Friday night screening in Baton Rouge, and I thought it was okay, but a lot of other people in the theater was pretty shaken up after it ended.

Not the scariest ever, but good creepy fun.

Some people feel completely safe in their home at nigh while others have a bit of fear that creeps in at night. This movie will scare the second group. No different than Blair Witch scared some people and others laughed at it. Blair spooked me because anytime I go camping I always spook myself thinking how easy it would be for someone to make me just disappear.

The worst I thought was the ring. I fricking laughed hysterically the entire time. I'm hoping PA will scare me because for some reason I've been craving a scary movie. For those that have seen it, should I go see it high or sober?

The reason it's creepy for most is because it hits home for the audience. Movie is based in home (mostly in bedroom) so people immediately start thinking about what goes on when they sleep at night.

On a small scale independent level type of movie it would be great. If you walked into a theater not knowing anything about it, it would be a great horror movie. BUT on a national scale with all the hype and everyone hearing about it, knowing what to expect when you see it, it kind of leaves tou feeling ehh...

Afreaux El Palo Rojo Member since Aug 2007 26310 posts	re: Paranormal Activity Hype... (Posted on 11/1/09 at 7:12 p.m. to DallasTiger11) I liked it. Drag Me to Hell involves talking goats, Cloverfield involves monsters, The Mist involves creatures from another dimension. Paranormal Activity takes place in a house. While the majority of what happens during the film appears implausible, it's more realistic than a demonic goat, given many people believe in ghosts. In that respect, this is a nice change, and it was worth the price of a ticket.
