Paranormal Activity the Scariest Movie Ever?

No idea, but it sure looks like it could be!

BY COLIN ENQUIST

The Exorcist, Alien, It, The Shining, Psycho may hold that title on some lists floating around the internet but it sounds like a new film could perch itself on top of a few of those lists. That film is Paranormal Activity. Yes I could be saying a bit much since the film has not officially been released and I am basing this solely off of what I have read, heard and witnessed in the trailer (which is below) because I have yet to see it as well.

Director Oren Peli wrote and directed this low-budget horror film. It is his debut film, made on a shoestring budget of $11, 000. Paramount Pictures is getting creative for the release of the film, screening it Sept. 24th for free in select cities at midnight while the film debuts at Austin’s Fantastic Fest when the clock strikes twelve. The studio has also created a Demand It widget where if the film is not playing in your city, you can “demand” that it does. The film is drawing comparisons to the Blair Witch Project from those who have seen it.

Check out the trailer for this supernatural thriller. You might want to leave the lights on! Tell me what you thought of the trailer.
