[@OriginalWhiteTornado]

As much as it's become a parody of itself, I will forever argue that the first movie is incredible. The fact that they played on the random sounds and happenings that creep you out when you're home alone is subtle and perfect, and they actually rely on tension nearly exclusively. I totally understand why some may not have gotten anything out of it, but I personally think it was a shining example of "Horror is the buildup to the scare, not the scare itself."

[@Rio..o7..]

The best part is how it plays with the camera and night/day. At the start we feel safe during the day and at night we feel ok as long as the clock speeds up then later even in daylight activity happens 😀

[@SkeleTonHammer]

This is also why the ending really doesn't work for me at all. Having him blow through the door and her crawling around and then morphing her face, they went way too far and "couldn't keep it in their pants" so to speak. The movie was so much more effective before that point, when everything was subtle.

[@L1VE3V1L]

The second film when they put the camera on an oscillating fan was masterful.

[@braders790boop]

@@SkeleTonHammer if they cut it just after the footsteps i think it wouldve been so perfect.

also you have to consider the time that it showed, 2007 found footage wasn't as popular as it is today so it really was terrifying back then

[@marennicholson5444]

My favorite part of this movie is the epic use of silence. It’s more effective than any kind of gore or effects they could have used.

[@Dreveryn]

I remember when this came out everyone was talking about seeing it in theater. The promos were all theater cams of people reacting to it to prove how terrifying it is. I personally have a soft spot for found footage films because its so rare that they are done well, but this movie showed how perfect the sytle is for horror. Not just telling a scary story, but showing it's "real" and could happen to anybody, including you. That makes it so much more terrifying. Definitely watch 2 and 3 at least.

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Same. I think my most watched genre is found footage, there are some wonderful gems hidden in there. Love em.

Paranormal Activity was definitely a cut above the rest of the "found footage" genre of movies of its day. They had practically no money and a camera and they made it work.

[@DerkleineTrojaner]

There pretty much was no other found footage movies back then right ? It was like Blair Witch, then nothing, then PA comes around and is a massive commercial hit compared to budget. And then we got the wave of bad ff that plagued the 2010s. And imo even PA 2,3,4 were ok.

[@ghostdivision2021]

I absolutely adore this movie. It's a prime example of "Less is More" in horror. The pacing is perfect, the exponential ramping up of activity until the conclusion is awesome. So many movies lose you in the 3rd act when they just go on for too long and all the suspense is lost. PA ends right when it's supposed to and keeps the horror alive by leaving so many questions unanswered. I'm glad you picked up on the sound design as well, the bassy rumbling audio cue for the demonic activity was so good, it's almost subliminal, I was barely aware of it until halfway through the first time I saw the movie. Very unsettling.

[@alexkramerblogs]

I think you may really enjoy [Rec] -- it's the original Spanish film that inspired the American remake Quarantine. Sure, the American one executed some of the scenes a little better, BUT the last moment really sets them apart: [Rec] I didn't want to get off the couch for a while, and with Quarantine I laughed so hard.

This and the second one are both really interesting in terms of cinematography and making it "homemade" and the whole series has some cool lore

[@michaelmaloskyjr]

I believe this film was the last true Social Phenomenon cinematic experience. I saw this movie (not film) in a packed theater with some people standing in the back on a Friday night. The young folks packed the first few rows and in absolutely synced hysterical reaction, they went off like firecrackers the SECOND the door slammed, when she slept walk and went motionless and the clock began running fast...just amazing social contagion leaping from person to person, aisle to aisle. We were all virgins in that theater and left smiling in fear, our collective certainties shaken, flipped and twisted -- but never broken.

[@lucieb.7991]

Please watch the other endings. This was the theatrical ending, there is also the original and the alternative. Every ending is very disturbing in their own way.

[@JediMastr80]

When I first saw this movie, I saw it with the "Original" ending first. We all know why Paramount changed it, money so they could make sequels. Honestly, I prefer that original ending as it does closeout the story. It does make the ending more f'd up as the demon that possessed Katie gets 1 final screw you and gets her killed when the cops shoot her.

[@snorpenbass4196]

One thing I love about the original "based on a true story"-type ghost movies from like, the 70's and early 80's is that when the supernatural was proven to the characters, they ran the hell away and did not go back. It was Poltergeist (the original) and Entity that changed this.

[@ButterCookie1984]

Interesting....

[@wratched]

This movie had an alternate version that was released online before the theatrical release. It's pretty much identical except the ending is different (they swapped it for something more sequelable) One of the eeriest experiences was lying in my modern bed, in my modern bedroom, alone, in the dark, after the final frame and realising that I was in the same place they were.

[@thathiefsandiego]

Finally someone that watched that version lol Seriously, I prefer the original ending with just her sitting on the floor until the cops appear. No modified voices, no weird faces, just her cover in blood sitting there and we knew what happened. That freaked the fuck out of me.

Except for the growling and ending, I grew up with these strange occurrences. Me and my family were the only house surrounded by empty ranch land about 1/4 mile from an abandoned church/cemetery. This movie was just unnerving as hell. Also: Hats off for watching this with the headphones on.

[@KMM-kx2yn]

I watched this Soo many times as a kid and tried to make my own paranormal movies with fishing wire tied to stuff.

[@mycroft16]

This movie proves what can be done on less than a shoestring budget, using just your friends and your own house to film in. And it brought something a little unique to the table as well. I think it's the 3rd film, but it introduces a camera angle that had me on the edge of my seat every time they used it. Appreciate all the unique ways they found to place cameras. The audio in theater was insane, sound from all around. And the film is unbelievably restrained to the point that it almost fits into Cosmic Horror... you never really see the thing. I think the locked off tripod shot is so terrifying because it FORCES you to look. You're a captive audience and you can't look away. You try to, but you can't.

[@antoniomclean9539]

The first trilogy of Paranormal Activity is one of the best horror trilogy of all time. The first film is an introduction, while the second film expanding the history of the demon and Katie's history and the third one is a prequel that connect everything. The fourth, Marked one and Ghost Dimension were considered as good spin-off because the spin-off trilogy focus on the demon and the cult.

[@Timmah73]

I saw this in a packed theater when it came out and people were actually terrified. As the movie went on the screams and swearing every time it cut to the next night got louder and louder. The two dudes next to me nearly pissed their pants at the ending lol

I didn't see this in theatre. I saw it alone late at night in my house with an alarmingly similar layout to the bedroom. I slept poorly.

I love your reaction to this, great film, wish more reactors would pick this one up because it's a vibe and this was great content watching you appreciate it. It gets a lot of hate because there are way too many sequels that get played out, but the original is literally one of the most profitable films of all time. They made it for less than the cost of a car and it made millions and the directing and sound design and acting are all pretty damn solid for such a low budget film. Do yourself a favor and watch the second one and third one (likely good spot to stop) where you can see them play in the format even more. The second film uses the concept of security cameras and it has some great filmmaking components to it.

[@themadtitanoftexas667]

I like that in the later movies they loop back around and you see parts of what happened in this one from a different visual perspective, like down stairs.

[@dAdpool-lt2zh]

Hey James ! Great reaction as always! Cheers fam

[@CryingShayme]

I think something that makes the horror so effective here is undirected it FEELS, in the sense that with most horror movies the music, camera movement, and shot composition tell us a lot about what to expect, to the point where I can usually even tell whether the tension is ramping up to an actual scare, or a fake out. But with this movie, the directing choices are so subtle most of the time that we don't feel like we are being told what to look at. We don't know if something will happen, when it will happen, where on the screen it will happen, and how spooky it will be, so instead we are just left with our imaginations running wild as we scan every shadow with hypervigilance.

[@EyesForYou21]

I was lucky enough to be in college when this hit theaters in the US (2009), and my roommate and I saw it in a PACKED theater on like a Wednesday night haha. The concept is so simple and I know it gets a lot of flack for that (“an hour of doors moving, omg so creepy 🙄”), but man, it got me. It got me good. By the end of the movie my legs were ~shaking~ to the point where I couldn’t control it haha. Then my roommate and I had to walk a few miles back to our dorm in the dark, which was…fun. 😅 Still haven’t had another movie theater experience quite like that.

[@katwebbxo]

My friend and I went to see this in theaters and luckily we got the better ending than the alternative one that I heard other people saw. I don't get scared from movies but it was a little creepy walking down my friend's dark hallway to the bathroom that night. 😂 I feel like it had something to do with the infrasound added in to make people uneasy. Love that it brought life back to the found footage genre too. 💕

This film will always be the best horror movie I have ever experienced in theaters to this day! I heard a lot of talk around this film in my town, through my school, friends, social media, everyone was hyping it up. So my brother, mom, and I went to go see the movie that Friday it premiered. sold out packed theater. Every single person in that theater was so invested in the movie that during the quiet scenes, nobody was talking, making comments out loud (like you would typically hear during horror films), all you could hear was the faint anticipated anxious wheezing from everyone haha including myself. then when the jump-scares would happen, the whole place lit up with screams! I also specifically remember these 3 full grown men that must've snuck in bcs they were sitting on the steps a few feet away from me. they were literally holding each other when the intense scenes came on haha. that was hilarious to see. Then of course at the end when the girl jumps at the camera, that place went bananas with screams! haha plus what made it even more special for me was the fact that this film is the only film to scare my family and I so much that when we got home that night, we all slept in our living room with the lights on!! haha so this movie holds a special experience for me, it was really awesome! haha love your reaction James! thanks for another great video bro! keep the great content coming because we.. are just getting started!

Ey yo my guy I'm glad you liked this. A brilliant horror/thriller movie rec would be "I trapped the devil" there's so much behind the scenes that really makes this movie great, but another super solid rec is Sinister. It's a great film and to be a horror is a huge bonus. It's so well done as a film to make it a horror where I feel like the bar is generally set lower is impressive.

Absolutely loved the Blair Witch Project and your reaction to it. This was another great found footage film. I think they used elements that were so relatable and that elevated this genre. Anyone watching Blair Witch could say “that’s why I stay outta the woods”. But you can’t just abandon your home if that’s where you’re being haunted. Paranormal Activity was excellent. Glad you reacted to it. This is found footage done well. I’ve watched other found footage films that were just awful.

[@chlloolou]

i think i first watched this film at 11 years of age and i couldn’t physically watch the ending properly for years after that. it’s seared into my memory, or fears, but i really think this film is extremely good. it does the job of immersing you into the haunting and makes you feel like you’re right there with them. it’s good scaring and brilliant horror

Love this film. The only thing I didn't care for was the "morph demon" face at the end. It seemed a bit cheesy...but I hear you about being freaked out by the sound. It's crucial. Everyone has had a moment in their lives where they heard something off in the distance at home and didn't know what it was and your imagination starts running wild with the possibilities. Being afraid of what you can't see is a primal fear that doesn't always get used very well. A lot of horror films show too much too soon. The second one is good too! I recommend that one. As a person who's witnessed some very questionable things in their home (not nearly as violent as the house shaking up or being thrown in a bedroom lol) I can say that this was handled really well. It felt pretty authentic.

Good review. Sincerity is really hard to come by, especially in film review content. I like that you enjoy what you watch. One of the biggest criticism was always "Uhhhh, the boyfriend!" without any understanding that the trait has to exist in order for the story to be told. My big found footage experience was Blair Witch, and this is the only thing that's come close to it. I can appreciate it on those grounds.

[@CurtisOnYoutube]

Man I want to see you watch all of them! This was so good!

[@ashlabelle]

The version I watched had a different ending, it was more of a closed ending so I suspect they did this one to open the door for sequels. In the one I watched, Katie kills Micah, then comes to their bedroom and sits in front of the camera in a fetal position rocking for like 2 days straight, and somewhere in those 2 days, we hear a friend come to check on them and seems to see Micah's body downstairs (or something else creepy, who knows) and runs away to call the police. The police come and as they shine a flashlight on Katie (who still had a knife in her hand) she seems to snap out of the possession and gets up to ask them where Micah is, they keep telling her to drop the knife and put her hands up but she seems too in shock to do that and they end up shooting her cause she was coming at them with a knife. Like I said, it's a closed everybody-dies kind of ending, so they must have done the one where Katie lives to keep a potential for sequels.

[@IsenoAlpha]

The ending to the final movie is different from what they originally wanted to do, and is a more "Hollywood" type ending. There's a couple alternate endings (including the one they originally were going to go with) on the blurays and you can find them on KZbin.

@@smokeyverton7981 I second The Taking of Deborah Logan being good. I really liked that one.

Paranormal Activity 3 is my favorite one in the series

18:44 Oh when he said that, i would've been like “Oh say less! Easier said than done! Babe, We Out! To heck with this house!” 🤣🤣

[@francoliles189]

this movie definitely set off a chain of new style for horror films for better and worse. and i won't lie, i totally wussed when watching this for a first time, in the middle of the afternoon in the brightest room of the house i watched it and was still jumping. this was so well done with a budget of only 15 thousand, I believe. or at least under 20 thousand. bought by spielberg and then given to paramount. and then used footage of tested audience as a way of marketing. even having people vote online if they wanted it to be available in theaters everywhere. I loved the first three. hope you watch the next one at least.

“They’re just Twitter users honestly” 💀💀💀💀 Somebody hire this man I can’t breathe👏👏👏

[@matt1023]

2 and 3 are both really good too

[@JorgeGarcia-ch1hn]

Yoooooooo you should watch Lake Mungo. It’s such a different horror movie because it’s a drama for so long and the horror kind of sneaks up on you. One of the most underrated films out there

[@alternateuniverse422]

This movie really freaked me out. Most horror movies I don't find scary because they're set in these ridiculous places and situations I would never be in. This movie though, set completely within their home in a normal environment makes it so easy to relate to them. Had to watch a Disney movie after before I could sleep 😂

[@vincentdeluca4485]

You should def Watch Insidious if you havent, easily one of my Fav Horror movies with an actually great story

[@amdesigns9607]

I remember this movie was making the rounds in the film festivals before hitting the big screen. It was getting a lot of buzz, and rightfully so.

[@brianlujan7089]

You should try The Strangers, I think you'd be creeped out by that one too

[@Khandys30]

I went to see it in the theater right after it came out, was a sold out show. The guy sitting beside us somehow fell asleep not too far into it (not sure if he was impaired/bored/tired) and woke up about 30 minutes later on one of the quieter parts screaming “they’re everywhere” at the top of his lungs. Scared the sh!t out of everyone in there so he left but came back about 20 minutes later. He managed to stay awake for the rest of it but it took an already tense situation and kicked it into overdrive 🤦🏻‍♀️. Loved the movie regardless, and the second one…quit watching them after that though lol.
