Movie Review: "Paranormal Activity"

    It seems as if everyone is talking about scary movies this year. One that you should definitely go see is "Parnormal Activity." This movie stars Katie Featherson and Micah Sloat as themselves. The setting is in Katie and Micah's two story suburban San Diego home. Even though the camera work is poor and not nearly as high quality as most films, the plot of the movie is more than enough to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

    Katie is very frightened of the evil entity that a paranormal investigator, Dr. Fredrichs, claims is in their home. When Micah asks her for more information, Katie's only explanation is that the entity has haunted her since she was a little girl. This adds to the coincidence that Micah finds a childhood picture of Katie in the attic.

    The hauntings usually occur whenever Micah and Katie are asleep, which ranges between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. After Micah buys a Ouija board and sets it on the table, he and Katie leave the house. Now, I'm not going to spoil that particular part of the movie, but let's just say that what happens when they leave is really terrifying! One night Micah is even scratched, bitten and nearly dragged off the bed. Micah then suggests they move, but another paranormal investigator warns that moving will not help at all. The entity will follow them.

  With no other option, the couple remains. I don't want to give away the ending, so let me just say that at the end, Katie gets out of bed, stares at Micah and walks off into the darkeness. Soon Micah is awakenend by her screams of agony. Want to know what happens next? Go out and see "Paranormal Activity" today! But here's a little warning: Don't see it alone.

   In all seriousness, it is unknown if "Paranormal Activity" is based on a true story or not. I give "Prarnormal Activity" two thumbs up. If you decide to go and see this flick, have fun and try not to jump out of your seat!
