"Paranormal Activity" is everything "Blair Witch" was suppose to be and wasn't. For one it won't give you motion sickness. I have a feeling that like "Blair Witch" this is a love it or hate it movie. Some will be turned off by the slow build using still tableau framing, simple effects, or in its best moments the perfect use of the absence of sound. This movie is a welcome vacation from the torture porn horror films that have dominated the landscape these past several years such as the "Saw" series . Torture porn fans will most likely hate this movie, but I for one loved it for the very thing that those fans detest, and that is its simplicity. This is the anti-Avatar. This is the anti-Saw. I suggest you rent it, turn the lights off, and open a bottle of wine because if you let it, this movie can remind you of how a scary movie can mess with your mind without all the gore and the sorority screaming.
