A Critics Thought...

A haunted house makes no secret of the fact it's not pleased with its new tenants in this independent tale of supernatural horror. Katie (Katie Featherson) and Micah (Micah Sloat) are a twentysomething couple who've just moved into a new home in San Diego, CA. Katie has an interest in the paranormal and believes that malevolent spirits have been following her since childhood, though Micah is not so easily convinced. However, after several nights of loud noises and strange happenings, Micah starts to agree with Katie that some sort of ghost may have followed them to the new home. After a paranormal researcher tells the couple he can't help them, Micah decides to take control of the situation and sets up a battery of video cameras so that if a spirit manifests itself, he can capture its behavior on tape. Once the surveillance cameras are in place, Katie and Micah bring in a Ouija board in an effort to talk to the spirits, a move that deeply offends the ghosts. Paranormal Activitywas the first feature film from writer and director Oren Peli.

MovieTradition recommends this film to ALL HORROR FILM FANS! This in MovieTradition's opinion is the best horror film in the past year. Filmed to mimick that of a home video, Oren Peli definitely hit a home run. This movie was the most realistic horror film we have ever seen. The story goes like this: A California couple are experiencing some paranormal activity in their home, and Micah (the boyfriend) suggests filming what happens because it might get interesting. From the beginning of this movie it is a non stop fright fest. MovieTradition left the theater thinking about this film and hasn't stopped yet! MovieTradition recommends going to see this film if you are over the age of 17 and are interested in Horror films, if not then this film is not for you. Well worth the money!
