Paranormal Activist
We watched Paranormal Activity over the weekend.
The characters were never really developed beyond “Reasonable Girlfriend” and “Jerkass Boyfriend”, and it opens with a few of the old fashioned loud noise/fake out scares that you might expect, but in the end it was a pretty effective little movie.
The nature of a faux-handheld camera movie frees you to not worry so much about character development, and the scares are well deployed and interesting enough to keep even a hardened enthusiast, such as myself, entertained.
Actually, in an odd way, it reminded me of Ju-on, the original version of The Grudge. Relatively simple horror stories, using relatively simple effects, each made more effective by their “home made” nature.
Where The Wild Things Were
I’d intended on writing a review for “Where the Wild Things Are”, but honestly I’d rather go drink a glass of milk, howl at the moon a while, then fall asleep in a great big pile.
