And it was probably the most disapointing movie I've seen recently. For those who haven't seen it yet, go do now, the first half is filled with some of the freakiest moments I've ever seen in a thriller movie, HOWEVER stop the movie as soon as you hear the phrase "astro-projection".
Consider this a Spoiler Alert for the rest of the post.
Now, I normally HATE horror/scary/thriller/whatever movies. I hate how most of them just rely on jump-out scares and grotesque dismemberment. I never watched anything that bosted thrills or scares until my friends convinced my to watch "Silence of the Lambs" and I loved it-- mostly because it didn't rely on gore and things jumping out at the audience. A year or two ago, I was then convinced by the same friends to see "Paranormal Activity" with them in the theatre. I LOVE that that too, because it was equal part eerie, HILIRIOUS, and with the right amount of jumping-out at you parts. We later saw "Paranourmal Activity 2", which wasn't as funny-- the pool clean was awesome though-- but it was like playing the most unnerving game of Where's Waldo (or Wally, depending).
So when I heard that the guys from Paranourmal Activity were teaming up with the guys from Saw, I was interested. I got half way in, loving it, it was all the scares I loved from Paranormal, it wasn't funny though. Then the psychic showed up, and it was like they switched the real ending where everyone gets killed with a low budget remake of "Legendary". I was disapointed by the climax, and just wanted it to end. Also, how the fuck don't you hear someone yelling and strangling someone else when they're just in the other room?
So what was your impression of the movie.
