Paranormal Activity (limited release horror flick)

[mrkun]

A lot of the scenes are based on sound and I couldn't hear a lot of it because of people screaming in the theater. Then again, I went with five girls and they started screaming their heads off if there was a quiet thump.

Pure ignorance. The flick has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from a sampling large enough to be completely legitimate.

limited release movies and straight dvd movies are all crap or a big studio would snap them up and make money. only a handful does this not apply to.

yes, because Studios are the ultimate judge of Quality.



Saw the movie yesterday and it wasn't overly scary, but had some very creepy parts. I enjoyed it and was glad I saw it.



Finally, don't feed the pcstroll

The last movie I saw that legitimately creeped me out was Blair Witch, so I guess I'll be watching this.

Using a campaign of limited showings, social media and word-of-mouth fan buzz, the film has managed to become a breakout hit without the aid of a glitzy marketing campaign -- or even a traditional movie trailer.

According to Variety, the very low-budget film (it reportedly cost $11,000), which played in fewer than 200 theaters, raked in $7.1 million over the weekend -- a record for a limited-release film. The film had an impressive $44,163 per-screen average and placement in the top five of the box office ratings over the weekend.

"We think it's exciting that they are taking this grassroots approach to independent film because sometimes independent films do get lost in the shuffle," said Kevin Carr, a writer/reviewer for the site Film School Rejects. "It's a unique test to see if people can demand things outside of standard marketing campaigns."

"Paranormal Activity" bills itself as "the first-ever major film release demanded by you."

hmmm, no time to watch movies anyway, i'll wait for blu-ray
