Paranormal Activity (Movie)
shmokes:
I thought Paranormal Activity was pretty good, despite some hokey stuff like the guy's continued reluctance to get help from the expert even after there was no doubt in his mind that this thing was real and dangerous and it was scaring the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of him.
I thought Drag Me to Hell was awful. I thought it was just downright retarded and utterly predictable the whole way through. I mean, seriously, was there a single person in the entire world who thought that the girl had the button after the paper mix-up in the car? A major letdown after seeing so many good reviews, not to mention Evil Dead.
RTSDaddy2:
Jim (and others), two things:
First of all, you were right about the ending you saw in the theater - I think I was so freaked out by it that I must not have noticed that she breaks that smile, leaps at the camera and flashes a mouth now missing teeth at the viewer seconds before the end. I really didn't remember that when I posted here.
Second of all, I guessed right - and I laughed my butt off at Mr. Macho too, because at the end he got the holy hell scared out of him from the movie...but it didn't go QUITE like I thought. TRY to picture this - it's very hard to put into words but I'll do my best.
So we're all sitting in the theater, lights off, screen is black as we try to digest what we saw....honestly you could've heard a pin drop. Everyone (save the stupid teenagers who couldn't shut up once the scares began) is just exhausted from the tension. Lights come up, people quietly move to the exit. My friends and I sat there for a while, then started to get up to leave. Unbeknownst to us, the cleaning crew has moved in.
We are at a Movie Tavern, and their seats are comfy, but when you get up they rocket back into place - sort of a WHAP! sound, for lack of better terms. Well, Macho, "Doc", and I, we're all still facing the screen, still unaware that the cleaners are in there. One of them apparently had moved a chair to get at something and let it go, and it does that wiggly "WHAP!" sound....and I swear to you, if my other friend and I had not been in Macho guy's way, he would have beat us back to the house running! He jumped like he was shot out of a cannon! I know he thought we were awful but "Doc" and I were doubled up with laughter....I would have died for a video camera of my own at that point!
Sadly, shmokes, when I first saw DMTH, I didn't see him put the quarter in the envelope...I don't know where my brain was at the time, but I missed that part the first time I saw it...so I DID think she had the button my first trip through. Even so, I would dare say that I think Sam wanted the viewer to know she did not have the cursed object, to a point. It still is a fine morality tale in my book...and "Doc" and I have had long discussions about how much Christine's own rattled psyche might have eventually led to her own demise, even more so than the button...but that's a chat for another time. One thing though - you can have all the stuff from the evil dead; I'll keep the possessed goat near the end of DMTH....still the funniest thing in a horror film I've seen lately!
SNAAKE:
sequel >:D
drventure:
That was a good flick. I had my doubts going in but it's definitely a movie that can get under your skin and mess with you for a while.
Been a long time since a movie has been able to do that to me.
