I don't know if it was the 'scariest movie ever made' but it definitely wasn't...uh....not scary. Considering all the crap they've put out lately it was a bit of a relief seeing something worth devoting an hour and a half of my life to. As far as the scariest movie I've ever seen goes I watched the holy mountain on acid a few weeks ago and that was a little uncomfortable. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:01am - Sacreligion ""] Eh. I don't know if this should have been a feature length film... |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] please elaborate |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:04am - arilliusbm ""] the same people that are scared by this nonsense were scared by the first blair witch. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:08am - Sacreligion ""] 3/4 of the movie is a girl being neurotic and a dude being a tough guy obsessed with a camera. Some of the scenes at night when the "paranormal activity" is happening are pretty cool and actually fairly creepy, but aside from that the movie is a whole lot of filler. There were about 100 darkies in the room jabbering on about what was happening in the movie, as it was happening, so their brilliant commentary may have ruined it for me. At least it was free. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:34am - xmikex ""] I've heard that the ending, which was far and away my biggest complaint, wasn't the original ending and that it was slapped together by Hollywood. The ending is dicks and butts bigtime but I thought overall it was a pretty interesting film. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:38am - Sacreligion ""] I don't know if a different ending would've made THAT much of a difference... |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 10:39am - Sacreligion ""] I will say that the second to last night is pretty awesome, though. Pretty much my favorite part. That and that the last night was also my birthday. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 12:57pm - xmikex ""] SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER: The current ending: Every version of the climax that I've heard about has Micah dashing downstairs after Katie is dragged out of the bed/room, where some sort of off-screen ruckus takes place and only a bloody Katie returns. In this version, Katie tosses Micah's body at the camera from the hallway (a great money shot, I'll admit, albeit one given away in the trailer), kneels down beside his body to either sniff or lick it, and then approaches the camera before smiling and then lunging at the lens. A title card informs us that Micah's body was found on whatever date, and that Katie's whereabouts are still unknown... A little too Hollywood cliffhanger-y for my tastes, but it plays better on the screen than I'd heard. The original ending: This time, Micah stays downstairs as Katie returns to the bedroom, covered in blood and now holding a knife. She proceeds to rock on the floor next to the bed for something like two days straight.* We hear a friend (the girl who offered that Katie stay at her place, I'm guessing) leave a message on their answering machine, wondering where they are. She later stops by, presumably finds Micah dead downstairs, screams and leaves. The police then show up later, with Katie only awakening from her catatonic state as they come up the stairs, with guns drawn. She's covered in blood, holding a knife and very confused as to what's going on, and so the officers proceed to fire on her. The title card then dedicates the film to the couple's memory. This one is a bit anti-climactic, yes, but I think it's a bit more tragic that Katie's been tormented all her life, only to face an unwitting death such as this. The alternate ending(s): Now, several endings were shot after the film was picked up. The only one of those that I've seen described anywhere was screened maybe once at a test screening, and Peli suggests that we may see it yet on the DVD. In this version, Micah dies downstairs, bloody Katie returns to the bedroom with knife in hand, and she proceeds to slit her own throat in front of the camera (without looking right into it). I personally prefer this one because Micah makes a gesture with a knife in the kitchen very early on, suggesting that whatever the problem is, they'll [slicing motion] take care of it. That might've made for a nice bookend, and would've been disturbing regardless. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 5:47pm - aaron_michael ""] Movie was a snoozer. I was startled more-so from the shrieking black girl to my right, than the boo-factor up on the screen. The only redeeming scene in the movie is when the girl is dragged out of bed and down the hall. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 21,2009 5:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'd rather see REC instead. heard its crazy as fuck. |

| _______________________________ [Feb 26,2010 11:03pm - Lamp ""] This has got to be the one of the worst movies I've ever seen by far. Is anyone really supposed to believe this shit is based on a true story? Some guy holding a camera while some girl gets scared. Wowie fucking doozer. I'm gonna go watch porn, kthx. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 26,2010 11:50pm - the_reverend ""] ok, the noises are so far exactly like the noises from the movie 909 experiment. Watching it at home alone is creeping me out a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 27,2010 12:44am - the_reverend ""] 909 experiment was better with better effects. film was meh. I actually fell asleep during it and had to rewind. |
