Paranormal activity boom

This will be the first movie that I will watch for the film profile. As I said, it is called Paranormal Activity and has become the most famous film nowadays.

I'm going to put a translated article form spanish to english that speaks better about the movie than me (because I didn't see it).


Paranormal activity (première in Spain 27.11.09), it rules in the American box-office with only 11.000 dolars of budget. Is very easy to compare it with another Hollywood movies on this year. In fact, Paranormal activity, would be closer of sociological phenomens like The Project of The Blair Witch and his ingenious campaign with 240 milions on the box-office. Like this one, it has been sold thanks to an ultra ingenious campaign where reality and fiction mingle played,with the addition of having the resources of the Internet.

Distributed by Paramount; when his executives undestood that it will be a hit, the Oren Peli's movie (scrip writer, producer and director), create the necessity of explote the genre.
It is not a marterpiece like Nosferato or Dracula but his youth appearance and his lack of money, is a plus.

The movie, set in San Diego, tells the story of a couple that is visited by ghosts. She was accustomed to contact with them since her childhood. She will contemplate worried, how her boyfriend buys a camera to find out what happens at night with the ghosts but the spirit gets angry.

With this information, without gallons of blood, billionaires effects or computer-animated creatures, with a few tricks, very cheap, Paranormal Activity provides good entertainment and good scares locked for some viewers, tired of the worn pattern of terror without indents and paraphernalia without soul or sense.
