If you live in USA and been wondering where will you spent your days after the Halloween week, to at least savor the final days of the trick or treat period, then I think we have something that might perk the white-rat within you.

Paranormal Activity is a low-budgeted horror-flick film that is skyrocketing to the charts of IMDB and RT, did we mention social-media sites like Facebook and Twitter too?

So what’s so special with this low-budgeted film anyway?

It’s said that the film was already shown to few individuals on a cinema (auditorium) in US and brought sheer-terror upon viewing it. Critiques said, “It’s so scary, it made a simple screech of the door horrible already!” (click to enlarge)

Due to its inadequate financial support, the producers of the film are finding it difficult to release the movie to the whole USA. So to solve the problem, they found a bright-solution! Use social-media.

So for the first-time in the history of movie industry, a film was released dictated by people who are dying to watch it. This brought a tremendous anticipation for viewers that gave the much needed boost for the film to be popular and bringing-on the cash for hitting the expected box-office premiere.

It’s said that, “If the movie reached 1,000,000 votes before November 8, then P.A will have its wide release on major cinemas in USA”

Also, the leading role for this movie will be portrayed by aspiring starlets like Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat

(Ever heard of them before?)

Here’s the Trailer

That clip reminds me of three things:

1.) Blaire Witch Project 1

2.) The Exorcist

3.) Poltergeist

Now, here goes the “boy who doesn’t shiver” complex with me again. Frankly, I will be very happy if this movie live up to its promises on scaring the freak out of people. Not to break the bubble dream of some, but I think a movie that needs to use social-media just to fire-up this much anticipation doesn’t look like a scary movie at all.

We have watched countless of horror movies before this one. I must say, simplicity is good; being unique is nice but too much advertising before the real “steak” could bring the hopes of people too high and may end to a rough-fall when their expectations aren’t sought upon seeing the film.

If the movie will “just” rely on distorted still-shots and sneaky camera-angles to surprise people and make a fake-horror, then I have nothing more to say than “Be Original!”

I for one, loves good ole scary movies. But I think I’ll just wait this film in torrent sites for a DVD-rip copy for I may not get what I want.

Happy pre-Halloween to everyone!
