My wife was like “oh hey, let’s watch a scary movie for Halloween” and I was like “oh, like ‘Scary Movie’ or something like that?” and she’s like, no. Paranormal Activity. She didn’t know it, but this movie freaked me out back when I originally watched it, all because of that flour on the ground scene. It did real psychological harm to me and ever since, I’ve had to sleep with the door shut and locked, not that either of those things would keep a demon out of my bedroom if it wanted to get in there.
It’s spooky and I still don’t leave my door open.
Saw this opening weekend in a packed theater. It was intense. At the end of the movie when the credits started it was still deadly quiet until one audience member loudly proclaimed, “I don’t know about ya’ll but I’m getting the fuck outta here.” Got a big laugh.
Was still creeped out though when we got home. This was the first movie to legit make me frightened since I saw The Exorcist as a kid. It didn’t happen again until I watched Terrified.
