Went to see this earlier. For an Indie movie it's well made but as a horror movie i thought it was rather boring. It's essentially a feature length episode of "A haunting" or any other horror documentary. I'd say it's worth seeing but if you're a seasoned horror fan you should probably wait for dvd. I thought there were a few genuinely creepy scenes. All of the paranormal encounters are created to seem as realistic as possible. If you've ever seen a tv show about paranormal encounters this is the type of stuff you're in store for in this movie...,doors closing, footsteps, whispers and footprints. i think the movie definitely lacked a big reveal...,one big scene that is designed to shock and stay with you. I think they tried to accomplish this with the ending but for me it felt out of place and anticlimactic.

The movie was fun, boring at times, but definitely gave me a lasting creeped out feeling. The ending was ehhh, meant for Hollywood audiences. But it was good

I watched this movie. I thought it was pretty slow at first. When the activity really picked up though I thought it was pretty funny. Like half the people in the theater were laughing. The ending really didn't help when minutes earlier I suggested the villain was a vampire who was also a shark.

Just saw this tonight. I thought it was brilliant. There is a genuinely creepy feel to this movie. The ending was a bit...sudden...But I was down with it.
Apparently there are two alternate endings. One is actually on high quality on youtube.

I can only find one: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Where she comes back in bloody with a knife and then sits on the bedroom floor rocking for a long time, until a friend calls the police and they shoot her as she goes at them with the knife.
Can somebody help me find the other alternate?

It was pretty meh. I understand that it might have been creepier if I had seen it in the theatres, but common. Incredibly predictable end and some untapped potential.
Really? That's awesome. I will have to wait until dvd to see the other two as it will kill it watching it on my pc. Being in the proper environment is key when watching something like this.
I agree. I cant help but wish I would have waited and watched this by myself in a darkened room. It would have completely freaked me out. The audience of the film definitely took away from its truly creepy moments. I still think this film is fantastic.
You can see information on the different endings here, I haven't seen the film but I've seen the [SPOILER - highlight to read]: police shooting the woman alternative ending, but I think they should have gone with the ending where [SPOILER - highlight to read]: she comes up after killing her husband and then coming towards the camera and killing herself by slitting her throat compared to I think the silly [SPOILER - highlight to read]: running towards the camera or something with the knife and it cutting ?
The movies should be the proper place to watch these film
Once you complain about how it's not suited for your computer, you lose all rights to claim that it would be better on TV. You're agreeing with someone who claims watching it on PC will ruin the experience, and claiming that it would be better to watch on TV.
Saw this tonight. Loved it, thought it was brilliant. And for the record, I think pretty much all the Horror movies are stupid. Backfire mentioned The Descent, I thought that movies was really stupid and wasn't scared at all, but Paranormal Activity was really good, and really creepy. If I would have watched this by myself in my house I would have sh*t my pants and heard all kind of noises, but watching it in the theater did not make it any worse IMO.
I agree, environment can be everything. A home theatre set would trump the cinema. Even if they don't talk, things become less frightening when you're number #26 on the 10th row being scared.
