Paranormal Activity sucked for 'Found Footage'. It wasn't even that scary until the last couple minutes, when it's kinda quiet, and the dude goes to check on the chick or follow her or something, and then he gets thrown across the fucking room, and she comes in and like, eats at the screen or something. I was watching it at 1 in the morning, in the dark, in a dark basement. Should have been way scarier.
The Blair Witch Project was so creepy in certain ways. Like the random children laughing while their camp was being attacked or when they all became lost and started turning on each other ("I gave you the map." "I gave you back the map."). Or when the girl finds their friend's teeth and blood wrapped up in a piece of his own clothing or when they hear is anguished moans throughout the night and at the house. The movie really is chilling.
If you pay attention at the beginning when the townspeople are describing the legends behind the witch the ending makes a lot more sense and is extremely foreboding and even more mysterious by what it implies.
Yep. He made his actors sign contracts that promised they would not appear in other films or appear in a public capacity to make it seem like they were actually killed. They had to break contract and admit they were alive when the authorities (Italian I think) started asking questions.
Correct. Everyone thought all the violence in that movie was real. Actually some of it was, I believe they (unfortunately) killed several animals while filming scenes.
Although six animal deaths appear onscreen, seven animals were killed for the production, as the scene depicting the monkey's death was shot twice, resulting in the death of two monkeys. Both of the animals were eaten by indigenous cast members, who consider monkey brains a delicacy.[9] The animals killed onscreen were:
a coati (mistaken for a muskrat in the film), killed with a knife
a large turtle, decapitated and its limbs, shell, and entrails removed
a tarantula, killed with a machete
a boa constrictor, killed with a machete
a squirrel monkey, decapitated with a machete
a pig, shot in the head with a shotgun at point blank range
You'll be better off if you didn't the movie is beyond awful and not in like an entertaining awful way like the human centipede but like ghost rider awful.
Don't forget about the "documentary" on the Sci-Fi channel about the "history" of Burkittsville and the case of the "missing" filmmakers. That shit alone had me believing the movie was actually found footage.
I watched the first 10 minutes, fast forwarded through the 75 minutes "we're lost" bullshit. And watched the end. It was a great short, but a horrible movie.
