Im not a fan of horror films, but this story continues to fascinate me. Check it out below:
"Israeli emigre Oren Peli’s microbudget haunted house film Paranormal Activity is one scary movie. Thanks to producer Jason Blum, Paramount picked up the $11,000 movie after some re-cutting and has set a September 25 release. Paranormal Activity scared the bejeezus out of the crowds at last weekend’s Telluride Film Festival. (It’s five-review ranking on Rotten Tomatoes is 100% fresh.)
Paranormal Activity borrows admiringly from the Blair Witch playbook. Peli makes his picture as real as possible by casting unknowns who can improvise. He eschews gore, and scares audiences with homevideo verite style. And he builds suspense by not showing everything."
