Now Paramount have launched a new campaign to market the Paranormal Activity DVD and Blu-ray release. Like the 'Demand It' campaign, all you have to do…

Despite the Hype, ‘Paranormal Activity’ is Not Scary – But it is a Good Film

It was billed by many people as the scariest movie ever made, so I found myself compelled to go see Paranormal Activity.

Let me first say the film is very good. It keeps your attention and, with a purported budget of $11K (or, depending on where you read it, $15K), the director did a masterful job.

More Than a Million People Want ‘Paranormal Activity’

Paranormal Activity is an independent film that has made it against all odds.

The film was written and directed by indie filmmaker Oren Peli, who managed to pull it off for an amazingly low budget of around $15,000. He struggled to find a home for it and, essentially, has been trying to get it out there since he made it in 2007. At one point, Steven Spielberg saw its potential and even suggested a bigger budget…
