Ok..I'm a huge fan of the horror genre. I love ALL different types of Horror/Suspense thrillers. I especially dig slasher flicks (Does that say something bad about me?? Lol). So, of course this whole "Paranormal Investigation" phenomenon caught my attention. Everyone was telling me it was the next "Blair Witch Project". I actually started becoming very excited about seeing the film. Then, this weekend it kicked ass at the box office. Destroyed Saw 6!  So, I finally went and saw "Paranormal Investigation" the other night..It sucked. Sorry. I hated it.
With a movie like that, the most important element is the characters. You have got to feel for the characters and their situation. By the middle of the movie I was virtually rooting for their demise. Here is the deal..Though they were in a bad situation, the boyfriend literally did everything to invite more trouble instead of seeking help outside of themselves. The girl would form a resolve that she had had enough with his filming and his bullshit. Then, she would give in and succumb to more bullshit. Sorry. If there was a demon breathing down your fucking neck, you would think you would do anything to protect yourself. I didn't particularly like the characters in "Blair Witch Project", but the fact that they were lost in the damn woods and utterly helpless, with no resources made me feel for them. These people in "Paranormal Activity" were kind of just waiting for shit to go down instead of reaching out and getting pro help. I was over it by the last frame of the movie and just glad to see it was over. I wont ruin the movie for you by spoiling the ending, but it sucked. Lol
