It will be $24 or so when released.

If they sell 285 of these Blurays, they'll make back their entire production cost

Which am sure they will. Even more

I really didn't like this movie.. Just a heads up to anyone looking to blind buy it. The $15,000 budget shows A LOT!

Those who can't appreciate this film really can't appreciate cinema at all. A $15,000 production budget that doesn't use any CGI whatsoever in any shots. It's all a matter of movie trickery which that shows A LOT! Not to mention how engaging it was from start to finish.

MSRP of $48.99

Koo-koo. They beat Disney with that one.

A MSRP of a Criterion Blu-ray? You've got to be kidding me. I enjoyed it in the theater, but I would not be in any rush to see it again now that I know the ending.

Can't expect any less for the scariest, most awesomest movie that has ever been made.

I'll wait until the price come down to my level... about $9 bucks.

eBay it after about a month and you'll get it for around $10

Heard great things about this film but haven't heard of an Aussie release date yet

nekromantik · 11-25-2009, 07:04 AM

seeing as most of the movie is in the dark in nite vision, does anyone think the BD will be that much of a step up from the DVD?
IMO movies like this aint meant to have awesome and clear PQ as it was "a home video". Plus this was shot using a home digital camcorder and not like Cloverfield where bits of it used a proper movie cam.

Russell_L · 11-25-2009, 04:04 PM

I know the selling price will be lower (hopefully MUCH lower), but $48.99 list?!?!?!? Especially when the film itself was made on a real shoestring budget (something like $11,000-15,000)??? That's really milking the public, Paramount!!!

BrowncoatJedi · 11-27-2009, 06:06 PM

Terribly overrated movie. And where do they get off making the SRP $49????!!!! It cost nothing and it made tons, unjustifiably.

I loved this movie and this isn't the FINAL price. Most movies start really high and work their way down as the release date comes closer. Just wait, it'll be somewhere in the $20s.

Jimmy Smith · 11-27-2009, 09:15 PM

For a movie that cost what to make?

Around $11,000 hahaha. Amazing movie for the cost, though!

BluRayGeek2612 · 12-06-2009, 01:08 PM

Ill wait for the price drop, plus I got this on bootleg so I dont think a Blu-Ray will not be much of a difference.

The Blu-Ray is now only $27.99.

I'd pay $37.99 for this though, http://www.amazon.com/Paranormal-Act...0108420&sr=8-3

Blu-Ron · 12-06-2009, 02:05 PM

Anybody register their name to get it up in the end credits? I think it was for thanking us for making it a huge success. Kinda wondering what that will look like. Are they actually thinking of putting up millions of names?
