Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity. Yeah. Scariest movie of my life. You should probably NOT go see it if you thought Blair Witch Project or Texas Chainsaw Massacre were the scariest because guess what? Their NOT! I had been planning to see the movie since last weekend, after my friend went to see it. He and his other friends don't usually get scared, but after seeing it I guess they couldn't sleep all night. They were freaked out. He promised me, though, that he would take me again because it was just that good, so us and a bunch of people went and saw it last night. I was actually in a huge hurry before seeing it, which really stressed me out.

I had been at Allstate all day, and we had to stay extra late just to see the results. We were all suppose to go to the 745 showing but I didn't get home till 815 or so from the place where Allstate was held all day. Luckily, they moved the time to 850 but I was still running late AND I had to pick up my friend on the way. I ended up getting lost (just my luck, right?) and I was an extra ten minutes late to her house. We then had to drive to all the way to the movie theater, run in to get the tickets, and run to the movie just so we wouldn't miss anymore of it than we already had. I was so mad this whole time because I had wanted to see this movie for so long! Anyways, when we were buying the tickets I found out that I didn't have my debit card. Real cute, right? She ended up buying the ticket for me which was very nice! I thanked her and with that we ran into the packed theater, tip toeing to our saved spots.

I hadn't missed much, at least not the scary parts, so I was pretty happy. Then I started to become less happy, as I realized how scary it was getting. I WAS happy but I mean I began to get scared and nervous and everything! From everything that was going wrong before I had gotten to the movie, I thought that maybe it was a sign for me to NOT go to the movie; that I was going to get super freaked out. I shook it off; I had to pay attention the this movie!

The whole movie was about this couple who was living together and the woman was being possessed by a demon. She had been possessed ever since she was eight, but now they decided to film their lives to show all of it happening. When I started watching, there was a guy at their house who was telling them they should get a demonoligist to help. The woman was all for it, wanting to get rid of what was following her. The guy, on the other hand, thought that he could take care of it by himself. As the movie went on, the the haunting got more and more worse because they were pissing it off (well mostly the guy was). The woman was getting fed up with the camera being around and she just wanted to call the specialized guy to get rid of it but her boyfriend thought it was all fun and games and he kept filming. When they finally called the demonoligist after the hauntings were traumatizing their lives, it was too late.

I won't tell you all that happened and how it ends because that will just ruin it for you, but the ending is not pretty. The whole time I was so scared that words could not describe it. I remember making fun of all of them who had seen it the week before because they were so scared, but now I know why. It just freaks you out so much because it is supposedly TRUE FOOTAGE. The whole movie is them getting haunted and harrassed mostly while they are sleeping. How can I sleep with those images in my head?

Although I am going to be traumatized for about a week, I still think I am in love with this movie. I will probably go again; maybe I will try and keep my eyes open?
