Paranormal Activity (2007)

In Paranormal Activity the viewer discovers that this isn't a normal haunted house. The house isn't haunted at all, as a matter of fact,  but one of the main characters, Katie, is. She has been haunted, on and off, for the majority of her life.   She, along with her live-in boyfriend, Micah (pronounced Meekah, and btw the characters hold the same names as the actors playing them), armed with video evidence contact a psychic to come on by and conduct an interview in an attempt to find out what their options are regarding this ghost. The psychic, played by Mark Fredrichs, is startled and informs the couple that he suspects Katie is haunted by a demon, not a ghost (which would be of human decent as opposed to a demon which is NOT human... good to know...). The psychic goes on to give them the number of a demonologist he knows and encourages them to call him since the psychic can offer no help and refuses to even if he could. (Who do you know that would want to be involved with a demon? I know I'd run away as well.) Micah brushes off the psychic, along with his advice, and continues to film and even brings in a Ouija board with much protest from Katie. That night when they step out the Ouija board spontaneously combusts after spelling out a short message. Even through this occurrence (along with all the others including where the demon tracks three-toed foot prints into the master bedroom) this couple STAYS in their house until their untimely end. I get that the girl is haunted and not the house, but I've watched enough Ghost Hunter series and the like to know that these things tend to be creatures of habit (on the presumption that they exist in the first place). Each haunting occurs in the middle of the night around 2:00am or 3:00am (somewhere in between and sometimes shortly after, you get my point). The hauntings become more and more physical which would indicate the entity is becoming stronger. Wouldn't you want to put a wrench in that? How about staying at a hotel where there are vast WITNESSES. I know you're filming it, but a lot of good that did ya.

Bottom Line:  An intriguing, not all too new, take on horror.  Creepy at times except these stupid white people do the same things as in all scary movies.  They keep goin back to that damn room!!!
