Today's Evil Review: "Paranormal activity"


This new low budget "scary" movie started to get popular and so I decided to watch it. First of all, despite its name, don't fool yourself: there is no activity in it. You will spend eternal one and a half hour in front of the screen waiting for something...that never comes. Not even spirits decided to show up as extras.
The story is centered in a couple having paranormal problems in their house. Not only they decide to record everything happening around (god knows why characters love to do it in low budget movies) but also they do that in complete darkness. So even if there is something to see, give up, 'cause you will not see it.
On the other hand, this might be a good movie if you are one of those people who watch movies while listening to music and doing sudoku, all at the same time.

Well, since this is an Evil review, here is a small turn off list for "Paranormal activity":

-Boredom: Nothing happens.
-Give me a break: People go around in the middle of a scary night in a haunted house without turning on the lights!
-Love to play the stupid: Everybody knows the character shouldn't do "it" but the dummo does it anyway.
-Incredible hardwares: The camera batteries never end!

Turn on about "Paranormal activity":

-Hope: It proves that anyone with a portable camera and a bad plot in their hands can make millions with a movie.
