Paranormal Activity Movie Review

Perhaps there's a trendy new word out there to describe these hand-held camera movies.

From my own experience, I was blown away by THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

And, then there was "Blair Witch" meets "Godzilla" which equaled CLOVERFIELD.

I loved both of those films for the same reason I love PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.

Intimacy.

Failing a Google search for a cool new word to describe this hand-held phenomenon, I shall extrapolate a literary term (perhaps too loosely) and say that I regard these movies to be the cinematic expression of confessional poetry.

I consider PARANOMAL ACTIVITY to be "Blair Witch" meets "Poltergeist."

And what makes it ring true is the relationship between our common-law husband/wife dual protagonists.

The guy tries to fix things like a macho man and the girl keeps telling him that he is useless.

So everyone can relate to that, right?
