It's creating a lot of buzz in the US, and even scared Steven Spielberg. Some critics are even labeling it the scariest movie of all time.
I'm definitely intrigued. Anyone else eager to see this?
-
I completely ignored this but the hype finally caught up with me. I very much want to see this movie.
-
The previews did not seem to scare me what so ever.

Hasn't today's society become de-sensitized to 'scary' on film?
The great scary movies are the one's that sneek up on you -- you went to the movie before the hype and left the theater stunned and creeped. That happened to me 3 times -- The Exorcist, Jaws, and Poltergeist. With today's hype machines so active, it's hard for a movie to live up to the anticipation.

Yeah part of me says "stop reading reviews and just see the darn thing before you know the entire plot"

The only movies that truly scared/creeped me out(as an adult, lol) are The Exorcist, and the Exorcism of Emily Rose.
To me there is a difference between "horror" movies. Some movies try to gross you out by showing you gruesome scenes (such as Hostel, the Saw movies, and the Michael Myers/ Jason movies). To me a truly scary movie is a movie that makes you leave the theater with a weird feeling. And when you get home you fall asleep with the tv on instead of off cuz u need the extra light in the room. ;) lol

The ring didn't freak me out. I mean..sure I turned my tv around so if some creepy girl tried to crawl out of it she'd have to crawl into a wall...but seriously it didn't scare me.
-
Another Blair Witch, huh?
It's a fun style. Blair Witch and Cloverfield weren't bad.
-
Eh I don't know, doesn't look like anything special to me.
In my opinion though, the best horror movie ever was The Shining. Just something about the way Shelly Duval looked, those twins, and the long hall way shots. Just creepy.
Tried looking for a trailer on youtube, and I guess there are a ton of custom made trailers on there, here's the scariest one I could find ::)

(Seriously though, The Shining has my vote fot scariest movie ever).

This movie looks like a cross between Blair Witch Project (attempt at raw footage) and the Saw series (hyped up beyond belief).
Horror movies these days are more like comedies for me. I'm the worst person to watch one with because I"m laughing the whole time. The "scarier" the movie the more cliche I find it really is.
The scariest movie I"ve ever seen was "Fire In The Sky".
Thoughts?

Wow, I never knew Marry Poppins could be so scary. That was definitely a lil creepy.

Pumpkinhead was pretty scary!

TP on Fire in the Sky. That last 10 minutes scared the bejesus outta me. Cloverfield kinda got me a little too especially the tunnel part.
One movie that creeped me out but in a different way was United 93. The movie about hijacked plane on September 11th that was apparently retaken by passengers and eventually crashed in Shanksville, Pa. Watching it just creeped me out. Not only because it was obviously real, but watching it...the best way I can describe it is imagine on September 10th, 2001 someone told you 4 planes were gonna be hijacked and over 2300 REAL people were gonna die and you couldn't do anything about it. You just had to sit there and watch it happen. That is what it was like. Watched that movie in a partially filled theater to total silence and when it went to DVD I actually bought it. To this day I've never actually watched the DVD I bought. Just saw it the one time in the theater. I can't seem to make myself watch it again.

Thumbs up to the Fire in the Sky mention. That movie about wrecked me as a kid.
I'm looking forward to seeing Paranormal Activity once it makes it to the sticks. There's been a lot of solid horror movies put out both in the U.S. and abroad these last few years. Hopefully this delivers as well.

It's still a great movie, save for some of the cheesy effects. I can highly recommend the book, too. It's one of the best books I've ever read.
-
The exorcist scares me.
I can't believe that I can truly call any movie the scariest of all time, since there will always be movies that I have not seen, and more to come in the future.
-
When I was a kid I tried to get through The Shining several times and always had to turn off the tv when the ghosts of those two sisters popped up in the hallway. The movie always seemed to come on at night after my parents went to bed so that didn't help. Thats the scariest movie for me, and I'll check out Paranormal Activity.

In terms of having a lasting effect on me, no doubt the scariest was the Shining. It was one of the first scary movies I'd seen and I had to walk home through the woods in the dark (something I'd done a million times, just not after seeing a scary movie).
The two little ghost girls and the lady in the tub who turns all gross were particularly creepy.
-
The original Ring I think scared me the most of any movie since I was 12. It is easy to scare a twelve year old. I watched Candyman and was scared to close my eyes in the shower (you know, when you're shampooing. Whatever, don't judge me) for like three weeks. That was scary.
But the Ring? That movie scared 8 kinds of crap out of me. I don't even know why exactly. maybe it is because I watch so much TV, or maybe it is that creepy little walk, or maybe it is because she's not really human and can't be killed (I hate those kinds of monsters. Give me Gacy over Jason any day), but the Ring scared the living buh-jeezus out of me. I just watched this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03668oTEoIQ
God I hate that movie. Still. I hate it.
-
I went to see it last night here in Vegas and I got to give it a big thumbs up. Absolutely brilliant production despite the reported $15k budget. I didn't think it was "The scariest movie of all time" (Exorcist is indelibly my #1) but it definitely leaves a lasting impression on your psyche as evidenced by my wife and I sleeping with the lights on. I do recommend if you plan on seeing it DO NOT watch the preview trailer, as it will kinda spoil an otherwise terrifying ending.

That part where the clown is down in the shower drain still creeps me out to this day!
-
Saw this a few hours ago. It's the real deal. May be the scariest movie Ive ever seen in the theatre.
-
I love watching horror movies.. I just haven't been scared by one since I was like 5 and first saw one of the Elm Street flicks.
What are the chances I'll be scared to walk the streets alone in the dark after seeing this movie? Cause I do really want to see it.
-
Event Horizon was good. That movie had its moments.
If they ever make dead space into a movie I think that would make a few head turn. The plot and setting are perfect for a horror movie
-
The three movies that scared the heck out of me as a kid were Poltergeist, Amintyville Horror, and Night of the Living Dead.
I haven't seen this one yet. The last horror movie I saw was the Collector, which was relatively decent.

I was wondering why no one had mentioned The Ring. It almost made me poop my pants. Well, not exactly... But you get the point.
I am looking forward to Paranormal Activity.

My girlfriend is obsessed with the horror genre so I literally have to see 90% of the horror movies that come out in theaters. I am not exaggerating. Killer puppets, killer mirrors, killer plants, serial killers, killer ghosts...I have endured them all. I do not like half of them but I get to see my action/gangster flicks with no complaints so it works.
This one was excellent. I hate movies that rely on loud surprises for the cheap scares (most horror movies these days). This one maintained a truly creepy atmosphere throughout and had me totally spooked. The "characters" were believable and by the end, I really believed for those two hours that i was watching home footage of a demon terrorizing a young couple. From a bitter cynic when it comes to the afterlife, this was a huge leap for me. I highly recomend.
By the way...DO NOT WATCH ANY TRAILERS OF THIS MOVIE IF IT IS NOT TOO LATE. It probably is since you are reading this thread but it will ruin some scenes.
-
Event Horizon was good.
i thought i was the only one who felt that way! everyone i know rolls their eyes or laughs when i say i like that film ;D
-
the one that held me tight was "The Strangers"
liv tyler...love her lips..
-
Alright, I just got done watching the 2007 version, and I gotta admit it was a little creepy. Not the movie, per se.. Just when I finished it (Like the second I did) I heard footsteps up stairs.. Luckily it wasn't no ghostie whostie haha
But yea, better than I expected. I couldnt stand Cloverfield cause of the first person/HUD POV but PA did a good job of not giving me motion sickness. :)
-
I haven't seen this one yet. The last horror movie I saw was the Collector, which was relatively decent.
I heard that was all right. It mustve went under the radar, because I dont remember it playing in theatres.
Also, Night of the Living Dead is a top 5 horror movie for me. 40 years old and it still holds up.
-

TP for The Strangers. Definitely a disturbing film.
Some Asian Horror movie suggestions... if you liked Ringu, you'll probably enjoy:
1. A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
2. Shutter (2004)
3. Noroi: The Curse (2005)
These three films are really really good. Highly recommended.

A movie I found suprisingly scary was No Country For Old Men. Purely because of this guy;

Anton Chigurh is totally bad-a-s-s.
Back on topic, I was able to DL the original version (2007) of Paranormal Activity, and plan on seeing it with my buddies (my wife hates horror films) on Halloween night.
-
I've now heard from 2 different sources that this movie stinks.
-

IMO if you've seen the trailer for it, you should know whether or not your gonna like it. It's an incredibly low budget movie about a couple that attempts to film the Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. that is happening in their house. If that sounds up your alley, you're prolly gonna like it.
-
Yo this may sound weak but one move that totally freaked me out was, Pulse.
The idea of ghosts and stuff coming out of computers made me want to do my papers on a typewriter the rest of the semester.
-
"The Peanut Butter Solution" was the scariest movie I've ever seen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peanut_Butter_Solution
I was 5 when it came out with a PG rating so my mother rented it and left the room, and it scarred me for life lol. I went to look it up a year or two ago and there were multiple people who recounted the same story. I went back and rewatched it finally, which helped a bit lol, but I still get creeped out thinking back to a few of those scenes
-

I really dug Pulse as well. I enjoyed a lot of those remakes of Japanese horror flicks (Ring, Grudge, etc).
-
I saw it tonight; I thought it was okay. Nothing fabulous, at all. I'd put it in about the same category as the Strangers. I'd rate it a solid B, B+.
-
Really was horrible Good God. I am not a big fan of scary movies and stuff. My Girlfriend really wanted to see it so we did. Was making fun of it about an 45 minutes into it. Most of the movie is just them talking. God what a waste of time.
-
Haven't seen P.A., but I watched an extremely scary movie last night for Halloween called [REC]. It's a Spanish movie with subtitles that was remade in America under the name of Quarantine. I haven't seen Quarantine but have been told [REC] is better. I don't want to spoil the basic plot, but it was very well-made and very scary.
-
Saw it last night with a bunch of people and most of the theatre was laughing in unison at much of it. I'm sure some people laughed that nervous laugh, while many (including myself) were doing so out of ridiculousness. I did think there were some isolated good parts, but overall I found the most unbelievable thing not to be the paranormal activity, but instead to be the humans response to all of these events. So unbelievable that it was laughable more than it was scary. I don't recommend it...
-
Scary movies don't really get too me. I was watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the 03 remake) and was laughing 90% of the time lol.
-
Pretty boring and not scary at all. I almost fell asleep in the theater.
-
Looks fake to me. Extremely fake.
-
The thing about The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that freaks me out is how they got Leatherface. Anyone heard of Ed Gein? He also influenced the killer in Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, and a few other messed up horror movie killers. One messed up guy...

Check out www.crimelibrary.com (http://www.crimelibrary.com). They probably have detailed info on every well-known serial killer in history, and then some. Very informative site.
I've read up on some of the serial killers listed there (Ed Gein, "Son of Sam" David Berkowitz, The Zodiac Killer, Bundy, Gacy, etc.). Seriously creepy stuff.

TP for this review. I finally caved in and saw this last night. For first person scares I still rate Cloverfield way above this. I actually wanted to get scared but I was too busy hating the couple. They just made no sense at all. The very end didn't even scare me. I kinda laughed.
-
I love horror movies, but I hate the slasher variety. I don't understand being scared of that. I always find myself thinking "OK... just kick him in the gonads. Monster solved." I don't know, I can't be afraid of a real thing like that.
The Ring has my vote for scariest of all time, with #2 being The Exorcist and #3 being.... Paranormal Activity!
The director used really low budget stuff, but did a superb job of building tension with low-tech methods. You just keep waiting and watching, knowing each time it is only going to get worse. I would really, strongly, recommend this movie to people that like to be scared. I saw it at a near abandoned theater and it was awesome. Pro-tip, always the path to take with the abandoned theaters, I hate when you go to see a scary movie and the theater is packed. Because inevitably, there is someone who doesn't belong there. They don't want to be scared, so they talk through the whole movie or laugh innapropriately

I didn't like the theatrical ending. I tracked down the original ending, it is much better. Just google it and you can find it.
One thing I didn't like about this film was how stupidly Kate and Micah behaved. Micah kept taunting what was clearly a supernatural, powerful force that was capable of hurting them. Kate didn't seem to freak out nearly as much as I would have in that situation. But... it did kind of make the movie work better. Otherwise, if they got help, it would have broken the insular, almost claustrophobic style. Plus, they probably didn't have the budget to go film scenes in other places or pay many actors.

Totally disagree. The original ending kills the momentum that the last 15 minutes of the film built up. It spends way too long to resolve itself, whereas the theatrical ending provides a huge shock and powerful ending that perfectly caps off the slow burn of the film in general. I like the other one in theory, but Spielberg was right to suggest the change. Go figure.

Honestly, the only part I didn't like was the post script saying Kate's whereabouts were currently unknown. I thought that was a cheesy hollywood cliche. The shock value was a bit much for me but I didn't mind it. I liked that Kate died in the original ending as it at least gave closure, and also left Micah's fate unseen which can often be worse. There is another alternate ending that sounds like the best to me. You can read about it here (more spoilers obviously):

Thanks for posting the link. My friend downloaded the movie offline and apparently he got the original version. I think I might rewatch the the theatrical version to see if it's better.

Paranormal Activity is like the better looking but dumber cousin of The Blair Witch Project. It uses the same storytelling techniques in a slicker yet more bluntly manipulative fashion.

Scary movies don't really get too me.
But do you want them to get to you? Any grown ass man isn't going to be bothered by a scary movie if he doesn't want it to. It's a freakin' movie. To get into a horror movie you have to want to be scared.
You often hear people say "That wasn't scary at all," like they are proud of it. If you are bragging about not being scared of a movie and you are past the age of ten, seek help.*
*This last paragraph isn't directed at you, Toppers, it's more of a people in general thing.

Just watched the alternate ending (thanks for the heads up, Schupac!) and it creeped me out again. Love this film, it's the first one to really scare me in a while.
Now as for the "grown men don't get scared" thing, (so kind of @freshinthehouse) some people have trouble getting scared easily. I love watching horror movies but the only way I get really scared, is if I watch them alone. When there's others present, I'm just not phased. I do try, but I just can't get into the mood. Maybe it has something to do with what I think is my only fear in this world; to be alone.
Anyway, enough opening up for me ;)
Here's another rad thing I do to get scared; I LOVE watching horror and scary movies while I'm alone, in the dark, at night when I'm tired, with the volume up. Believe me, that gets you scared. Especially since I really live up to those kinds of films and procrastinate watching them till I'm really tired ;)
Oh, and the film? 80%, had to deduct at least 5% for the way the couple did react rather... strange. I just had that "why the hell do you do that?" feeling a bit too often. The movie does what it's supposed to do though; scare ya.

I remember reading his story when I was back in 6th grade...he used eyeballs for lampshades, skulls as drinking cups and wore the skin of women around the house as if it were a suit....man I get the chills just thinking about that
As far as paranormal activity Id give it a B at best, wasnt all that scared for those of you in New England check out http://www.caiprs.com/Paranormal%20Cape%20Cod.htm The guy gives tours of all the haunted spots in Barnstable it is AWESOME put it on your must do list
-
Wasn't a fan of this. I'm not a big horror fan, but I end up watching a ton thanks to my girlfriend.
I pretty much spent the whole movie waiting for something to happen, and even though there were a couple of cool parts, they weren't worth the wait. If you're going to film an entire movie in one location, there's gotta be something to keep it interesting.
However, I did not see the alternate ending.

But do you want them to get to you? Any grown ass man isn't going to be bothered by a scary movie if he doesn't want it to. It's a freakin' movie. To get into a horror movie you have to want to be scared.
You often hear people say "That wasn't scary at all," like they are proud of it. If you are bragging about not being scared of a movie and you are past the age of ten, seek help.*
*This last paragraph isn't directed at you, Toppers, it's more of a people in general thing.
TP could not agree more.

There is a difference between a scary movie and one that isn't scary at all. You can be scared and realize that it's just a movie...
I've seen Bugs Bunny cartoons scarier.

Looks fake to me. Extremely fake.
There is so little in way of special effects in this movie. What looked fake?
