He was referring to Annie on Hereditary 😂

[@revjim123]

The house was never haunted, she was. If you pay attention she said it’s been around since she was a kid. The entity is obsessed with her, which is why Micah was killed. And no, it’s not real, both actors have appeared in movies since then

[@lg-0297]

I still remember everyone was convinced it was real until Katie appeared at a MTV movie awards show a couple months after the release. 😂

[@jameskurtz4182]

Favorite story from this is how Katie and Micah would sometimes make surprise appearances at screenings and be all “so how did you like our movie?” So many people thought it was real!

[@Arkainjel]

I remember feeling that way about Blair Witch Project until I saw them on a late night talk show. I felt like such a fool for a good week or two.

[@TonyGillenwater]

I thought it was real until the 4th one when I recognized the daughter from Disney channel

[@texasgrad2001]

@@Arkainjel Exact same thing happened to me. I saw Blair Witch opening weekend not knowing anything about it except how it had been marketed...as a true story. So I believed it for about two weeks until I saw the cast on Jay Leno.

[@TexArizocan]

I've had similar experiences of Paranormal Activity. I watched the Conjuring before I ever watched Paranormal Activity movies. Never thought I would ever watch the Paranormal Activity movies. I have more experiences that relate to The Conjuring. 3 is a crazy number though, 3 knocks on the dorm room door at 3 am with no one in the hallway, walked into the empty dorm room and heard voices with no one there, my dorm room heard papers being shuffled through with no one in the room

Asia's reaction at the end of this was TOTALLY ME back when I first watched this. I turned to my then-significant other and said, "Babe, I love you, but if I hear you screaming like that in the dead of night, you're on your own cause I am jumping out that window! 😂😂😂😂

[@coreyhall1150]

[@danwilliams2551]

The reason this was so scary compared to the sequels was described best by Roger Ebert, who loved this film: it's not how calm or extreme the events each night are, it's that the movie is made in a way where it makes it feel like real footage from our world, and something as simple as a door moving on it's own would terrify you in your house alone at night. The sequels made it clear that they were "movies" and went for jumpscares and spectacle, and it then feels like we are watching a scripted thing, which ruins that atmosphere.

[@therealmccoy6097]

A few of the sequels were pretty good

[@ChiariPTCSongbird]

The 2nd one scared me more 😅

[@Tateorsomething]

The most unrealistic part of this movie was how stupid Micah was. That's coming from a skeptic

[@alyxgriffen5073]

This *is* the best movie of all of the franchise (and after the 3rd movie, they're not worth watching at all, IMO), but the particular *scene* that scared me the most was actually in the 3rd movie. 😁

[@stephanierosborough4365]

The one with the latino guys in it,was funny to me

[@wendylittlewood2347]

I love how Asia "can't watch" but always asks BJ what is happening and ends up terrified anyway!!!! 😂 You two are hilarious and 2 of my favourite reactors on You Tube keep up the great work both of you love from the UK 🇬🇧❤

[@suzzanimalchannel1030]

Asia had me dying when she was pointing to the Exorcist poster. 😂 I can’t even look at the poster without getting the chills. Great review guys.👌✅

[@beandean23]

My mom said after she read the Exorcist, she was so disturbed she threw the book outside. She didn't know what else to do.

[@coreyhall1150]

Mmhmm.... That movie has a real demon attached to it.

[@Vinnie3633]

Right they gotta take that shii down 😂😂

[@TheTrisha2009]

It is so astounding how the Exorcist has affected so many people on such a deep level. What is it about that movie? I saw that movie on HBO when cable had just come out. I can't even explain how bad that movie messed me up. Forget about sleeping for a month and I had lost an appetite for a while. I lost weight! I guess you can say I was traumatized by it. Of course I've gotten over it. I'm in my 50s now. I can easily say it's one of my all-time favorite movies Horror genre. There are still scenes I cannot look at her face. I have to look away. And yes the picture of the girl's face on the wall behind Asia was messing with me big time. human psyche. total mystery.

[@TheTrisha2009]

My Dad read the book in one night! he worked for NY telephone co and called in sick the next day. Loved the book.

[@tatianaferreira5998]

I watched this one in theaters with two friends. One of my friends got three free tickets and none of us knew what it was about, we went completely blind. But hey, we took the free tickets alright! When we got out, it was like we went to war and came back full of PTSD! 😅 Ah, good times! Good reaction guys! 😁

[@maximillianosaben]

Seeing this movie in a big quiet theater was gosh darn terrifying. So great how they kept building up the tension.

[@MrfuckinBeilke]

I was shaking!

[@TheTrisha2009]

I had whole TEARS in my eyes from fear! Nothing like a horror flick in a theater! Alien, Jaws, Exorcist, Halloween, Fri the 13th... 70s horror was the real deal! Evil Dead messed me up bad in theater! Also Blair Witch!

[@JustTanya.]

This movie didn't scare me but watching in the theater was awesome. My friend was doing exactly like Asia was doing it was so funny.

[@alib6936]

Its always great because you know so many others are feeling the same shit 😂 i swear the cinema would burst into the smallest bouts of anxious laughter when scary shit would happen

[@retnuHDJ]

I saw this in the cinema when it came out but there was a bunch of teenagers at the back there were laughing at everything so any sense of tension or atmosphere was ruined for me :(

[@GypCdanger]

This is my favorite movie reaction of all time! I’m a little biased because I was the makeup fx and prop maker for the movie, but your reactions are just priceless to me! I’ve watched a lot of your videos and for some reason I never thought to watch any Paranormal Activity reactions. Probably because I’ve seen the film soooo many times. But when I typed it in to search an hour ago, you guys were the first video to pop up and I was so excited! I figured Asia would probably get scared at some things, and I wasn’t sure if it would be BJ’s jam, but I was really hoping you’d both like it and find it scary. That movie was made 17 years ago. It was just a little film that we all believed in so much, it truly humbles me to see reactions like this. Thank you both for being you and entertaining me as much as I hope we entertained you. Keep those reactions coming and remember to tuck your toes! 👻

[@neena18]

Asia is a whole mood lmaooooo! And BJ really got me hollering whenever he told Asia "you need to watch" while she got her eyes covered lol. Great reaction again guys!

[@jippityjippityjosh]

I think the main reason I've been coming back to watch yalls show is because the energy that bounces off between you two is just too good. Yall get each other and it's just so beautiful to see. Love and support and comfort just radiates between you two and it's so easy to pick up on every single time yall look at each other. Love watching yall!!

[@cindylou3205]

There was a guy in our theater for this. His friends were teasing him that he was a body builder but got scared during movies. He was acting all tough saying he'd be fine, wouldn't get scared, didn't seem scary in the promos etc. When she got dragged out of the bed, he screamed "Ah hell no!" and jetted down the stairs and out the door. So instead of being scared at that part the whole theater was cracking up. It was a great experience.

[@ginnyschiefer6857]

Was that in Oklahoma? Because something exactly like that happened when I was at the midnight premiere 😂

We were sitting in the theater and 15min in we both screamed and I threw my whole bucket of popcorn in the air and my bestie started Punching me in the shoulder! 😂 I usually watch scary movies alone in the dark. This freaked us out! The whole theater started laughing at our reactions. Two middle aged ladies arguing and freaking out.

Must watch the 2nd and 3rd! They continue the story in an unexpected way! Have you also not watched The Blair Witch Project yet? Must! It's the original found-footage horror. Their amazing marketing campaign included "missing person" posters seen everywhere including my university in Canada. It had people vomiting and leaving the theatre before the end.

That's what I came to say... Cuz part 2 is basically a prequel and it is amazing

I feel like BJ went from “I don’t believe in ghosts” to leaning in like 👁️👄👁️ real quick 😭

[@yzolakitchi]

Asia's rules for safety 1. Shut the door. 2. Tuck your toes. 🥰 Pretty incredible that the budget for this film was around $15,000 and during the same year another horror, 1408 with Samuel L Jackson and John Cusack had a budget around $25 million. Both are great horrors, but it really goes to show that sometimes, less is more and what's left to our imagination is always more terrifying than anything they show us on the screen. A great achievement for a film to be so good on such a minimal budget. When I saw this on the big screen, I spent most of the time looking at the clock in the corner cos as the tension ramped up ... my nerves just couldn't take it.😝

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the best found footage supernatural horror movies ever made. Steven Spielberg was hired as a consultant for the movie, giving the director Oren Peli and Producer Jason Blum notes on how to make a good jump scare for the audience and how build up a suspenseful scene.

[@RaptorNX01]

yeah, he's the one that convinced them to change the ending to what it is here.

[@Thrashifice]

My favorite part of these found footage reactions is Asia not realizing they are produced movies and not real footage. I love it.

Myself and my family have seen ghosts. People who deny they exist.. they do. One story. : In college my roommate said we had a ghost in our apartment, I didn’t believe her at first. One night we were watching tv in the living room and her bedroom door down the hall we could see slowly closed on it’s own creaking and the handle turned and clicked to shut it. The doorknob you could hear and see twisting down the hall in the half lit light. The marking on it turned around. I packed a bag left the house and stayed somewhere else that night

[@Crazy__Canuck]

This movie holds a very interesting record ... it only cost $15,000 to make and the actors made only $500 each ... BUT it made: $193,355,800 in theaters world-wide!! A profit of approximately $193,340,800!! So, when comparing budget to profit, it holds the record for as the most profitable film ever made. EDIT: I really hope that the entire cast and crew got several nice and shocking bonus cheques!! They sure as hell should have.

[@janjaley1167]

I know it's somewhat comparable but the original Halloween 1978 was a low budget also, it's amazing how these blockbusters started so small and are giants in the horror world.

[@petercourtien4581]

BJ said, “I pray to God she ain’t walking up the wall or something”.🤣

[@BackupPanic07]

BJ was on point with them not ever closing doors in this franchise, and is frankly the scariest thing about these movies for me personally. I never leave a door open if I can have it closed to begin with, but if this stuff started happening, and I couldn't up and move, you know damn well every door in the house is gonna be closed and locked if possible. Oh, and Asia's reactions are pure gold. Much love for the great content, as always.

[@onestgermain]

One of the scariest haunted movies! Underrated! I grew up, with my brother, terrorized by spirits... A year ago, afternoon nap...hands on my face ...home alone. Woke up, looked around...went back to sleep. Again hands...got a bit angry.... Went back to sleep, and a slap woke me up... So angry, i got up and said, you either kill me, or f off! But if you kill me, i'll follow you in hell, and f u up... No more problems... Perhaps, sounds funny...but, it wasn't...

[@TheTriumphbsa]

This and the Blair Witch Project began the 'Found Footage' movie genre. When it first came out the producer etc., had already sequestered the actors and crew; and they had to sign A Non Disclosure' contract. They were hidden, and seen nowhere; and were forbidden to do interviews. That, and the lack of ending credits, had sooo many people thinking it MUST be real! Me included, lol. It was the talk of the country for moviegoers. The buzz and hype was amazing! The film itself was done for peanuts financially, yet made Blockbuster movie-type millions. Great fun watching your reactions, and poor Asia was about to break a knuckle, her fingers were so rigid and crossed up over her eyes!

[@neonunderground5972]

Man I love Asia’s reactions, it’s so fun to watch horror movies with people who get scared. Friends who play down a movie take all the fun out of it.

[@givepeasachance7]

I agree. This movie terrified me because of how creepy it is and the tension keeps going up a notch. No blood and guts and jump scares but just so sinister.

[@Coolto22]

I remember watching this one in theaters and I’ve never been that tense in a movie!! Definitely love watching y’all watch this for the first time!

[@asteven8]

When I tell you this movie unlocked a legit fear for me! When it came out, my dumbass went to a midnight showing with friends. They were horror/scary movie fans. Usually scary movies don't get to me but this one did. After the showing, I called my boyfriend at the time to meet me at my place because there was NO way I was gonna sleep by myself after seeing that. He was a trooper because that was a 2 AM call, y'all. He got up out his bed to schlep across town to sleep by me. I made him sleep by the door. LOL. I think it was a smooth 6 months before I could sleep without worrying something was gonna happen.

[@OJsGuitarDemo-lition]

This movie was complete horror film fan labor of love. It was shot on a shoestring budget and before it came to theaters, the makers asked fans to petition their local theaters to have it brought in for a screening. I was part of the group that made sure it was brought to Houston so it could be screened. It finally got a very limited release in select theaters and it got so popular through internet petitions and word of mouth, it finally got a nationwide release. It got such a positive reception everywhere that the creators decided to make sequels. Anyway, loved your reaction to it!

[@OrochiFlamez]

The scariest part is when the picture of them gets cracked. Before that there was a certain timeframe during daylight where they were "safe" from any weird stuff, but after that? All bets are officially off.

[@pandasanding7036]

The scene where Katie gets dragged out the bed and room never fails to move me. I don’t know why but I guess it’s the fear in her scream and crying

[@RaptorNX01]

I need to actually watch the theatrical version one day. I've only seen the screener version with the original ending. its very different then here. in the original ending, she "stomps" back up stairs like here, but instead of throwing his body at the camera, she just walks in by herself, covered in blood, a knife in her hand and sits next to the bed. then it proceeds to fast-forward through the day, and the entire time she is just sitting next to the bed, rocking. it stops FFing a couple times like when the phone rings, etc, then resumes. later that evening you hear her friend come in. she's calling out to katie, then she screams and you hear her run out the door. a little later the cops show up. you hear them down stairs, calling out to anyone, then they come up the stairs. they see katie and train their flashlights one her. this is when she seems to snap out of it. she stands up, all confused, asking what happened, where Micah was. and she starts walking toward them, knife still in her hand. they start yelling at her to drops the knife, but she's obviously confused. then, the ghost slams one of the doors down the hall and this spooks the cops enough they start shooting katie. it ends with them looking around the upstairs of the house and reporting in.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

I've had one experience that was paranormal. I was about 35yo. My dad had died, and I was lying face down on my bed crying and inconsolable for 15 minutes. I then felt a reassuring pat/rub on my back that lasted about 3 seconds. I was alone in my house. I can't explain it. I did love my dad. I'm 60 now and still miss him.

[@kosmicnic]

a lot of people don't do their research and automatically assume pentagrams are evil cause of movies ect. when in reality they are there to word off evil, to keep the demons or evil spirits AWAY! the circle around the pentagram represents protection and ever changing, ever lasting circle of life and nature. the 5 points in the star represent the 5 elements, air, fire, water, earth , and spirit. so the next time you see a pentagram just know you're at peace and you are safe in that area.

[@Ballie_Smak]

Bro i was 6 years old when I first saw this movie…. It traumatized the heck out of me for years I was terrified 😂 I will NEVER forget

[@robindude8187]

I love the ending of this movie, but it's not the one I originally saw. The ending as _I_ saw it, Katie is downstairs, you hear the screams, Micah goes down and there's more screams. Then Katie comes up, knife in hand, blood all over her, and stands at the bed, rocking back and forth until morning. Then someone knocks on the door, comes in, you can hear her calling for Katie, and Katie stops rocking. The visitor screams, there's a growl and roar from the monster, gurgling, silence. Katie returns to rocking. A bit later, police show up, they find Katie. She's snaps out of it, asks what's going on, and the police repeatedly tell her to put the knife down. She's upset, doesn't know what's happening, and approaches the police, who shoot her as she's demanding to know where Micah is. I think there's a third ending, too, but I'm not sure. I'm only aware of these two, and they're both awesome!

[@override83]

This movie scared the crap out of me and my dad. Growing up on the Rez, spirits are something we're taught never to aggravate and respect and never mess with. I'm never going to forget watching this on tv, my dad sat down and started watching. He just happened to sit down during the scene where Katie was dragged outta the bed, he just sat up and said "Nope, not watching this" and walked away. What makes this so damn good compared to the others that came after, is they did a great job of making it feel so believable and eerie. To add to all of this, the suspense of escalation as the nights go on is creepy. Than, when it starts doing things during the day, when they thought they probably felt safe, it felt like it was a matter of time. The icing on the cake is the way Katie screams, it's absolutely blood curdling and bone chilling.

This was amazing!! 😂😂😂 I really hope you check out the sequels too. At least the second and third!! The Marked Ones (5th) is my personal favourite but the first 3 are very much about Katie and her family and answer so many unanswered questions!

[@cieranthane1]

Yes, I would agree. I hope they watch the first six. The twists and turns in this series are pretty insane, like the endings of both 5 and 6.

[@michelle6337]

One thing I really like about this one is that it starts in the middle of the activity. So many ghost stories follow the plot line of something happening to start the haunting (like moving to a new house), but this one jumps right in.

[@urniebarnes]

Also, this is what's known as the "found footage" genre. You should also watch "Blair Witch Project" if you haven't already. It came out in '99. But the Paranormal Activity movies are all pretty good. The third one is the best!

[@bryancomer1984]

This and Blair witch are The undisputed Kings of low budget found footage horror, these are BOTH film that understand how horror and fear work. The more you show the scary thing, the less scary it becomes, less money improves movies like this, massively. The absolute scariest thing we can perceive is the thing that we can't QUITE see, so our mind tries to fill in the gaps of information fueled by fear and intimidation It's worth noting that this film doesn't work without high quality sound or headphones, the droning rumble is so fucking effective it's unbelievable, perfect horror for me, 10/10 Also when I saw this in theaters when it was new,I couldn't go to bed without the sun coming up, so while I was staying up watching TV and gaming, my goddamn cat knocked some shit off my kitchen counter, which he never did before or since, really makes my memory of this movie so much more powerful, so I hated my cat at the time but man it really helped solidify what I loved about this shit

[@GypCdanger]

I agree 💯! The less you see, the scarier it is. Steven Spielberg sat down at home with a copy of the dvd we had sent to all the studios when trying to sell the film. He watched the whole movie and afterwards he couldn’t open his bedroom door! It had mysteriously locked all on its own. He had to get a locksmith to open the door. He truly believed that the dvd was haunted! 😂 He ended up returning the disc in a trash bag. I call us even. I haven’t been in the ocean since I first watched Jaws.

[@katwebbxo]

Seeing this in theaters was wild. Hope you watch more from the series. 👻🖤

[@MrfuckinBeilke]

I remember they had midnight screenings of it. Me and my ex were shaking leaving the theaters. Terrifying!

[@bobbiperkins1009]

Yes please watch the rest 🙏 😲🫣

[@katwebbxo]

@@MrfuckinBeilke Yep that was me and my friend. I still blame the infrasound lol. I heard they also showed the alternative endings at other showings. Ours was the normal ending.

[@jaygremillion]

This series started out so well! The first two were exceptionally scary. Nothing better than a good scary movie like this.

[@larrybee]

Asias Reactions to these Horror Movies are Classic! She has the best laugh, it’s so infectious 😂😂😂

[@1Adam20]

@7:29 The easiest way a "ghost" can interact with is with electric light, as they can cause an "interruption" to the power source causing the light to "blink." However, the easiest light for them to "see" in is natural light such as a candle. However, they can interact with other things on our side such as the keys.

[@OGWSmoker]

Let's gooo made it home from work just in time for the premiere 🕺🏽‼️ yall gonna love this series!

[@oggyreidmore]

This movie is extra spooky because it violates the Blankie Rule. If I am in my bed and under the covers, the demon/monster/bad guy is not allowed to get me. THAT'S THE RULES! This movie BROKE the RULES!!

[@growerghost7321]

Love the October reactions!! We need the original children of the corn 🌽

[@BrianCrowd]

What I liked about these movies is they're not gross, they're scary and suspenseful. When that low pitched rumbly sound starts, you know something is about to go down, so you pay more attention, goosebumps start running up and down your arms, your heart starts racing, the hair on the back of your neck raises your spine tingles your hands start sweating and BAM!

[@leeannmcdermott8313]

Asia laughing harder the more scared she gets & “Babe, babe you gotta watch” is all I’m here for😂

[@LeoA05]

Just for perspective, the budget for this movie was about $15,000. The box office totaled about $195 million. BJ you're not alone when you say that you forgot (that it was a movie). The immersion of this movie back when it 1st released was insane.

[@thrillalova1212]

Oh I am SO here for that!…Asia&BJ,you have one of the best if not THE best reaction channel out there❤…Always,Peace,Love and Popcorn©️…..Been with you all for about 2 years now and you never disappoint …love all the commenters as well,have been kind and respectful😘🎃🪦👻

[@reece6583]

Loved your reactions. You HAVE to watch parts 2 & 3. The others are ok too but those two are must-see

[@victorpedersen585]

Micha definitely wins dumbest boyfriend award I remember being scared as heck when I saw this the first time

[@otakuwhat_]

Found this channel today and you bet I’ll be binging it as I heal from this flu and beyond. Thank you for the content ~❤

[@MzSR00To4]

Omg I’m scared to watch y’all react to this movie even though I’ve already seen it couple times lol 😂

[@TS-xn1mc]

HALLOWEEN REACTIONS ARE BACK! I’M SO EXCITED. I’ve been looking forward to this since last October-is that sad? Haha I love you guys.

[@Ellis_Hugh]

Those big, beautiful eyes peeking through her fingers is a branding opportunity you guys are missing out on! Obviously you guys need to watch #2 - and #3 to be honest. They form kind of a trilogy. There's more after that but the first three are a MUST.
