Why it’s HorroRated
Paranormal Activity made an enormous amount of money and deserved to. The locked camera and the domestic setting are used with real discipline and the dread builds through repetition in a way that few found footage films have replicated. It may not hit the same way on a second viewing but the first experience is effective.
Synopsis
Katie and Micah are living together when unusual activity prompts Micah to document what's happening overnight. The locked camera and the domestic setting are used with real discipline and the dread builds through repetition in a way that few found footage films have replicated. Oren Peli made it for almost nothing and created a template for a decade of the format.
