The ‘Paranormal Activity’ mini-review.

A very taut film by a clever director who knew when to get out of the way and let the audience go ahead and scare itself. There’s a Paramount executive out there right now who is basking in the insane amount of profit that this film is going to gather for the studio. As a horror flick, it’s good; as a horror flick done on a $15,000 budget it’s freaking insanely good. It’s not perfect – there’s a couple of holes in the plot, and the ending I saw may be the weakest of the three – but it’s worth going to see in theaters.
