Paranormal Activity




09 Wrap Partayyy was funn. we caught:
- Coraline
- The Last House on the Left
- Paranormal Activity


In the end, onli Belle, me, and Jiahao were at the chalet to watch Paranormal Activity. the atmosphere was great: we were in this hut surrounded by trees, dark and mysterious, and it's just 3 of us. 3 is not such a great number.

The movie is a slow buildup to the eventual shocker. I kept telling myself, not because i'm afraid but cos i am not tt convinced when ppl say tt it's scary, that it's just shadows, thud noises, and shift in furniture and all. which it pretty much was, except when the demon (not ghost) is given some form of identity, it makes it all the more scarier. The demon gets angrier and angrier, and as the movie progress, we see the demon materialise - in its footprints, in its wrath, and its disdain for the male lead. the male lead. what an obnoxious, but slightly typical, character.

towards the end, i am convinced. because the surprise twist ending was so twisted, and it gave me not just a shock, but a chilling, spinetingling fear afterwards, was what made the film so scary. we watched the ending 3 times, and each time, it was scary even though i anticipated it. that. last. frame. wow.
