Paranormal Activity Blu-ray Release Discussion Thread (12/29/2009)

I have to agree that it was a bit hyped and because of that, it was a bit of a letdown. still, it was on the creepy side, had several hair-raise-on-the-back-of-your-neck moments and really played to the audience WAITING for the big scare and used that anticipation to create much more tension and dread in people's minds. I give it credit for doing that and relying on psychological terror in normal situations instead of splatter and gore.(this is a major strike against this film for that whole Saw/Hostel crowd paying to see this film or buying it.) Was a bit disappointed with the similar Blair Witch type ending since Spielberg supposedly suggested it. makes me want to see what the original was like. needless to say, I'm still on the fence for buying this. Have to wait and see what the reviews are like.
