Some people just hate that style, and its a horror movie, I wouldn't set my sights too high. I just know that The Unborn was pathetic, even for low standards.

About Paranormal Activity... Jesus Christ. O.o Fantastic movie to watch ending at midnight on Halloween night.

I have never heard a full packed (we had to sit in one of the front rows, no seats, and we were there 20 min early) scream at the top of their lungs so loud. People left the theater going "FUCK THAT SHIT" and "THAT DUDE SHOULDA LEFT HER ASS LONG AGO". It was awesome, because anyone we were near walking out was jumpy as hell.

I'm actually surprised by the special effects in the movie, given the way they recorded it, because some of the stuff would be easy on a blue screen and not so easy on that documentary style camera. I was also expecting a full two hours of subtle shit like Blair Witch had, you know, like a closet bumping and them opening it or "Oh god you see a ghostly figure walk by in the background" or something dumb. They had stuff in that vein (not those examples) but that was just the beginning slow stuff. It really picked up and at some point you are like "Ok, dude, I'd hate to have no choice but to go to sleep again and deal with it." Stuff started happening during the day also, and all I could think was "Ok, stop trying to piss the demon off man."

Man...

EDIT: Another quote by a couple that walked past us. Chick is talking to the guy going "Ok, I know that was fake. It was scary as fuck, but it was fake." And her boyfriend is all "Fake or not, what the fuck? Man, I'm gonna be leaving the lights on tonight, fuck."

It also wasn't filled with an overuse unrealistic amount of random F bombs (I think I have said it more in this post than the movie did) like most horror films and also no stupid ass "Hey look, chick is half naked showering and we are using the excuse of weird shit happening to throw in sex appeal" type stuff. It just focused on the crazy stuff.
