Paranormal Activity is a new horror film that has a few versions of itself floating around. I have seen what I assume is the original version with different editing and a different ending from the theatrical version. This is a reality styled movie shot through a hand held camera and operated by the characters in the film. What we are witness to seems to be a police editing of evidence for some sort of case. This reality feel accomplishes the horror feel with minimal special effects. Most of the tensions comes from anticipation from what could happen during scenes of nothing happening. Having read what the theatrical ending has(but not seeing it) I can only assume this is a more satisfying ending and more realistic and maintaining the reality of the world that the filmmakers created. I am not a horror film fan, not because I scare easily but I usually find them implausible and can't relate but this film was taut with tension and a pleasant surprise. I would recommend it for those looking for a good horror film with no gore and some frights.
