Plot Summary
You demanded it and now the surprise hit critics call "one of the scariest movies of all time"* can be experienced in the most terrifying place of all...your home. After a young, middle-class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially while they sleep. Paranormal Activity builds suspense all the way to the shocking ending.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It illustrates one of my favorite points, that silence and waiting can be more entertaining than frantic fast-cutting and berserk f/x. For extended periods here, nothing at all is happening, and believe me, you won't be bored.
Fresh: The climax is deliciously scary, and Peli gets considerable mileage from the simple matter of lights inexplicably going on in another room.
Fresh: Peli teases the audience expertly. Scenes remain silent and still; not for long, but long enough to make you sweat. The terror of anticipation and its abrupt release, particularly in the final scene, is exhilarating.
Rotten: Extremely unthrilling, very obvious, very cliched. We've seen it all before.

I love this movie and wanted to see what it looks like with one of the other endings. Here it is. I haven't bought it but I might rent it soon.
