Imagination paints better pictures than any director can accomplish in film. Not even masterpieces can challenge the human mind when it thinks of the best or the worst. So some film directors tap our imagination to do half of their work. Leaving to our creative minds what they refuse to put on film. Such as movies like Paranormal Activity. With little budget, a creative mind, camera and handful of amateur actors can pull off a scary movie. Scared of an unseen malevolent entity that pesters the entire house hold leaving no one alive but a camera to reveal what took place.
This approach is reminiscent of the 90s independent flick The Blair Witch Project that made block buster. Only Paranormal activity looks definitely a cheap rip off that did not rake in money. But both films allowed us to create and construct the perfect devil that can scare us out of our wits. Only us knows how to scare ourselves.
If you have not seen the Blair Witch then there is a chance that Paranormal Activity could be spine tingling. But seeing Blair Witch would make the film daunting and incompetent. The spell worn off almost a decade ago. Even the director of Blair Witch himself too was not able to recapture the success of Blair Witch in his later titles, stirring curiosity only by branding them with "From the director of the Blair Witch project" in his later titles.
Viewers this time are smart enough to know the fine line between genuine and making money. The only thing I enjoyed about this film was watching it with my boyfriend who is defnitely buying that things he sees. And I find him so adorable, innocent and sooo cute I would not mind if the film sucks.
