Paranormal Activity 2 Teaser Trailer

The teaser trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 has been released online. The sequel to the 2009 low-budget hit Paranormal Activity does have a noticeable increase in budget with multiple cameras set up as what looks like security cams. The trailer does seem to have its creepy moments involving a dog, baby, rocking chair and something written backwards in the mirror at the last second of trailer. The phrase says What is happening to Hunter?.

So if you notice anything else weird in the trailer just comment it.

Paranormal Activity Review

Paranormal Activity is a Mockumentary-Horror film, similar to The Blair Witch Project and the TV show Ghost Hunters. This is a low budget film of only around $11,000 by first time director Oren Peli. Filmed in one week, with two nobody actors, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat. I went into this movie thinking it would be a knockoff of The Blair Witch Project and would be stupid. I was really wrong. This film starts out a little slow for most movie goers, but gets to the good stuff pretty fast. We see them documenting their daily life with an HD camera trying to catch proof that there is paranormal activity in their home. They place the camera on a tripod in their bedroom to see what goes on while the two are sleeping. The first few nights nothing really happens, except noise and sound of walking. Then, after that, it seems like they made the "Entity" mad. Every night gets worse and makes the audience get really jumpy. The movie ending does not let you down. I have heard there is multiple endings and the one in theaters was suggested by Acclaimed Director, Steven Spielberg. The story goes, Steven watched this movie and stopped halfway through it because it scared him. I love the ending also. There is so many things I love about this film and so few things I don't like. I love that you never see the "Entity" through out the whole film. I love how they didn't film it traditional style or all shaky cam like other Horror-mockumentaries. They film it like Ghost Hunters. This adds to the suspense of the film in whole. The acting is astounding for "nobody" actors. Katie is great and believable at being scarred and that added to me getting scarred. Also, Micah is great at being the smart ass, stubborn boyfriend to Katie. He mostly thinks of it as a joke for awhile. He then becomes a loving boyfriend that wants to help Katie and becomes a man, not an immature person. The effects in this film are practical, yet very effective. The practical effects are probably the scariest thing in the film. The thing I love most about the movie is how it leaves the things going on to your imagination. I walked out of the theater a little unnerved and thinking how will I sleep tonight. This is a great movie to see in theaters with a crowd, because it is funny to see how people react to it. I can't wait to watch this film in my room, alone one night and get scared out of my mind. The hype around this movie wasn't lying, it is one of the most, if not the most scary movie I have ever seen. I love this movie so much, I give it a 95 out of 100.

Daily Movie News






This is Saturday time and it's time for your Daily Movie News

* The "Paranormal Activity" Demand It! website has finally made it to the magic number of 1 million Demand its. Paramount Pictures has came out and said they will release it in about 1,000 more theaters on October 16th. The Release of it will Compete with the yearly film series "Saw VI" and the remake" The Stepfather". The great interest in "Paranormal Activity" will most likely make it a great weekend for the Horror Movie genre.

* Neil Marshall(The Descent, Doomsday) is directing Burst 3D for Lionsgate and Ghost House Pictures. The film is about a group of friends held up in a lodge during a winter storm. Stuff goes wrong, they start to spontaneously combust one by one.

* Joss Whedon's highly anticipated "Cabin in the Woods" got pushed back from February 5th 2010 to January 14th 2011. The most likely reason is to get more mainstream hype and to get remastered in 3D after early screenings were greatly positive.

And more to come
