Movie Paranormal Activity

[Mobbs]

I'm one of the rare folks who actually missed all the preamble hype for BWP, and yet thoroughly enjoyed it.

With Paranormal activity, again, if there was pre-match, I missed it. I again realised by the end I'd thoroughly enjoyed it, but its NO BWP.

Noddy, sorry, was just on Smart-arse for that evening. Was surprised anyone could say they thought A Nightmare On Elm Street was a quality scare. It seemed more like high school humour to me. But I should retract as far as to say, if you saw it while in High School, then yeah, it'd be scary.

I saw Poltergeist when about 10, and hence have great respect for it to this day. Had I seen it as a 20-something, I may have been less affected. (plus the evening after seeing it, I stayed at an aunt/uncle's place, where there was indeed, a huge clown, on a chair at the foot of my bed. Dead set not kidding.)

Can I recommend another similar "chill" style film to BWP and to what PA does a reasonable job towars : "Lake Mungo".

I agree with you that these days ANOES is more humourous than scary. That's why I said it was outdated but in it's time it was scary(at least I thought so). It's the only horror movie I've ever had nightmares over. These days I wouldn't even put it in the horror genre. It's more fantasy.

That's why I was disappointed with the remake. Freddy is lacking his sense of humour and his cat and mouse games that he plays with his victims. They've just made it into a run of the mill slasher flick.

I haven't seen the remake, got burnt too often with too many of the horrible horro remakes, and have just stopped giving them a chance!

Nightmares? Yeah Poltergeist did that to me, as a kid. And the other one was (the obviously campy and over-the-top) Evil Dead. Again, being fairly young at the time, and staying at a sister and bro-in-law's home where I had not before been, sometimes the environment contributes to the effect!

Anyways, yes I apologise to the bored ones in advance, but I rate BWP as about top 3 horrors in my opinion (original Amityville Horror is my far and away #1), and I am a fan of Paranormal Activity though don't see it as up to the BWP standard.

I guess there are just two types of us when it comes to horror, and we're all just gonna have to live with it ...
