You can really see the rising tempo throughout the movie with first little incidents like a door closing to its extremely violent and shocking conclusion, you gotta watch 2 as it's closely related to 1 in terms of storyline, I won't say anything more about it. I've had horrific dreams before but never any ghostly encounters as of yet.Ah, yeah I looked it up & it was the first one I saw.
It took about a week for me to finish the last 5 or 10 minutes.
I used to have tons of physical, real things happen in my old haunted digs, but I'd also get these HORRIBLY realistic dreams, and constantly had them about being pulled out of bed.
The SECOND I saw her leg start to be dragged I was like "AAAAAAHHHHHHH TURN IT OFF. TURNITOFFTURNITOFFTURNITOFF. My reaction was probably fairly entertaining at least. haha
They were a different type or 'scary', you get to know a single family in great detail and watch them fall apart as they face these increasing horrifying incidents. The handheld cameras brings you closer to the characters and you can almost feel the harm and despair they are going through.The Paranormal Activity movies didn't scare me.
