Yep. I liked it. All of the hype paid off. Because I live in Montana, we didn’t get PA until Friday, and man it was worth the wait. I read a lot of mixed reviews about how lame it was, how scary it was, and was it real. If you like Cannibal Holocaust, or the Blair Witch Project….well then go see this movie. PA had a real feel for chaos as the movie went along, and I can only hope that some of you can see it on the big screen.
So our story follows a young couple who have decided to film what goes on in the night while they sleep…. The camera is just a single shot deal. What it see’s we see. At first it’s just Katie and Micah sleeping with some footsteps here or there, but as the night goes on so does the noises. After Micah and Katie review days of strang noises and sights they call upon a Psychic for help. The Psychic tells them that it might be a demon in the house and to avoid all hostile vibes, because that could only provoke whatevers there.
As the days go by the haunts and sounds get more intense and we as the viewer witness some bizarre footage. I did like how as the days kept going, the fights between Katie and Micah become more foul foulmouthed and angry. Which (as you can guess) results in more extreme things happening. Watching Katie wake up and stand over the bed for hours (of elapsed time) staring at Micah while he slept, seeing weird footprints walk across the bedroom floor,or watching Katie getting dragged off of the bed screaming, creeped me the fuck out.
Look lets be honest, this has been done before. Nothing new here, but dammit it was a fun flick! I also loved the Marketing for PA. Get a million demands and the movie goes nationwide. God, if only we the viewers were given that opportunity with other movies it would be a new era in movie viewing. Oh and before I forget……. If you are going to see this movie, go to an early showing. Anything after 6 PM will only bring out the idiots who will ruin it for you.
