( not so ) paranormal activity

After all the box office raves and Amit's constant nagging, I finally gave in to watch the movie. We rushed to the movies( which is across the street from home!) on a Thursday night. There was just one more couple in the theater. It was the perfect ambiance..
Well, the movie started and I kept waiting for the activity to begin. Finally there was some action and it was good. But by that time, I was suffering from motion sickness. The handy cam was awfully shaky. I looked at Amit and he was worse off. So we opened our eyes only for the night scenes. After an hour into the movie, I lost interest. It was the same old story. One could predict the end. What happened later was pretty stereotypical, but to my surprise Amit liked it.
I can see how it can be a creepy movie but really not as scary as the reviews say it is. I thought good ol' Norman Bates' mother was more of a surprise than the ' demonic force' in our new flick.
All in all, a decent attempt towards changing the trend of horror movies. Definitely better than the bloody gory monster flicks out there.
A good watch.
