"What Happens When You Sleep?"
That is the tagline for an upcoming indi-horror movie called, Paranormal Activity which has been getting more and more buzz worldwide for it's guerilla documentary-style yet all too scary vision of ghosts. The irony of that tagline is that this movie has been guaranteed by screener audiences that it will keep you from sleeping at night.
Paranormal Activity is a $15,000 film of an Israeli-born former video game designer (Oren Peli) that tells the story of a couple who are co-inhabiting their home with a demonic presence that is mostly active at night while the couple's asleep.
Thanks to the firm support of Steven Spielberg and other Hollywood and international producers, Paramount will be distributing and releasing the movie in limited release September 15 then nationwide sometime in mid-October. Not since The Blair Witch Project has an indi-made horror film gotten this much approval from film critics and major Hollywood producers but positive public reaction from those who had a chance to see the film for the first time.
But what's most notable about this film is when Hollywood held a private screening in Santa Monica, some of the audience left the theatre because it was too scary for them to finish watching it.
I, for one, highly promote and love to see original work. It's also good to hear that there are still some in Hollywood that appreciate and support such work from everyday "Joe's." I'm very much looking forward to experiencing this film myself.
EARLY VERDICT: I'll definitely won't see it alone!
