My Thoughts On Paranormal Activity - The Film

By Magnolia Zuckerman


"Paranormal Activity" is a movie that has recently been picked up by Paramount Pictures. This movie was originally an independent film that found many fans at Screamfest. Almost two years later the film is coming out again, this time with a different ending.

Steven Spielberg is said to be a big fan of this film and reportedly had a hand in its final scene.

The main characters are few. Katie and Micah are a young couple having minor relationship struggles, but they are clearly in love and supportive of one another.

The couple relocates to a home in San Diego which they start to think could be haunted. As time passes, Katie explains her belief in the occult, and suggests that a poltergeist has shadowed her for many years. She even intimates that the ghost may have played a role in her sister's demise.

This idea does not seem realistic to Micah, so he devises a plan to get to the bottom of the occurences. With the help of his video camera he begins to record the home at night.

The results are not what Micah expects. The tape shows a ghost in the home and Micah concludes that antagonizing the ghost is a good plan.

A later meeting with a paranormal specialist proves unfruitful, when he leaves in a hurry, saying he is not qualified to help them with such an evil force.

As the movie continues Micah proceeds to aggravate the ghost in any way. Micah even decides to get a Ouija board to see if the ghost will begin to communicate with them. All of these activities lead to a dramatic ending.

It is very impressive that this simple, independent film could intrigue so many audience members. This shows that audiences are not only impressed by big movie budgets, but by the content of the movie itself.

Overall I found Paranormal Activity very entertaining and quite scary at times. This is definitely a film worth seeing if you're in the mood to be scared.
