A truly independent film made on a minuscule budget, "Paranormal Activity" first created a buzz at Screamfest in Los Angeles, then languished for nearly two years until Paramount Pictures decided to pick up the project and slightly change the ending.
Many famous people have interest in this movie. Steven Spielberg is rumored to have assisted in the changes to the final scene.
The main characters are few. Katie and Micah are a young couple having minor relationship struggles, but they are clearly in love and supportive of one another.
The couple relocates to a home in San Diego which they start to think could be haunted. As time passes, Katie explains her belief in the occult, and suggests that a poltergeist has shadowed her for many years. She even intimates that the ghost may have played a role in her sister's demise.
This idea does not seem realistic to Micah, so he devises a plan to get to the bottom of the occurences. With the help of his video camera he begins to record the home at night.
When Micah actually gets some very unsettling evidence on tape, he becomes convinced that there is a dark force present and increasingly antagonizes the ghost.
A later meeting with a paranormal specialist proves unfruitful, when he leaves in a hurry, saying he is not qualified to help them with such an evil force.
Micah's antagonizing attitude toward the ghost persists, and he goes so far as to try to use a Ouija board to facilitate communication with the ghost. The film's action continues to increase to a startling and frightening crescendo.
It is very impressive that this simple, independent film could intrigue so many audience members. This shows that audiences are not only impressed by big movie budgets, but by the content of the movie itself.
Overall I found Paranormal Activity very entertaining and quite scary at times. This is definitely a film worth seeing if you're in the mood to be scared.
