So let me set a scene.

Our (the wife and I) bedroom is upstairs. the stairs lead directly into or room. Watched the movie a while back...oooo creepy, lol......but then we went to bed.

thud,thud,thud,thud.....silence
thud thud thud thud thud thud ....silence

My wifes breathing increases.

thud thud thud thud.....silence


So I get the kittens off the stairs and throw them out the door, and shut it....silence.....hours later, fall asleep, feeling my wife trembling a little.

Fucking terrifying.

[Slow Ben]

Yet more proof that cats are the spawn of satan himself.


They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

[Bent]

Fact - the only domesticated animal never mentioned specifically by the bible

So for a few nights I could barely sleep, and if you think I was going to put my leg outside the covers when they get too hot under them, you'd be wrong, I sucked it up and dealt with overheated body warmth.

Oh yes. For about three nights.

One morning I got up at 4:30 because I just couldn't sleep. When I closed my eyes, I could almost feel the fucking thing watching me.

Yep, me too...and I had a feeling that my gf was going to be standing at the end of the bed in a trance watching me. *shiver*

[Gothos]

I must admit the standing and staring part was really fucking creepy. But with the scare, well... I've never been haunted, nor has anyone I know, so we won't "catch" the haunt like in j-horrors... also, no small creepy girls.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Finally got around to watching it.

Decent level of scariness, but it didn't really affect me. I just didn't find it drew me in at all. Blair witch did for sure, but this one just didn't really get me going.

and the ending just didn't fit with the rest of the movie. It just felt like it was tacked on because they needed an ending, rather than coming up with a truly frightening way to end it.

I was expecting the blair witch type ending like

oh no don't go in the basement, oh shit no don't go in the basement you idiotic girl, you WENT in the BASEMENT i can't believe it , OH MY FREAKIN GOD THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE CORNER.........WHAT SMELLS LIKE SHIT, OH MY GOD I JUST SHIT MY PANTS IN FEAR!!!!


A couple of cops coming in and shooting her was dumb. I wanted a sweet exorcism.

They must show a different ending up in CA cause thats not what happened when i went and saw it. Thats supposed to be the ending they deleted, according to the interwebs.

[Yellow]

Yup, I'm afraid you watched the shitty ending, CF. That was the original 2007 ending that never made it to wide release. If you've *ahem* acquired it from somewhere, try again if you want the 2009 ending

If you want to know the other 2 endings, click on the tag.

Spoiler

The theatrical ending was basically this: Katie stands over Micah for a few hours, then goes downstairs and starts screaming. Micah wakes up and legs it downstairs (without the camera). He starts screaming as well, then all of a sudden it goes quiet. Ten or twenty seconds go by, then you hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. All of a sudden, Katie is in the doorway and throws Micah's dead body into the camera. He bails to the floor, Katie is all covered in blood. She crawls over to his body and starts sniffing at it, then slowly turns her face to the camera. She smiles, then darts into the camera and in the last second you can see her face sort of morph into something creepy as fuck. Then all goes black, says that the cops found Micah's body but Katie's whereabouts are unknown.

The third ending (which I haven't seen... it never aired, though you could probably find it somewhere and it will likely be on the DVD WHICH I WILL NOT BE BUYING!!) is basically the same setup, but instead of Katie coming upstairs with Micah's body, she comes into the room covered in blood, holding a knife (remember Micah messing with the knife earlier in the film). She then slits her wrists on-camera.

thank god they did something scarier than the cop shooting thing in the theatrical release.

I *ahem* did indeed acquire it from someplace that shan't be named

The first one in your spoiler tag would have been way better...really both would have been better, but face morphing usually puts more fear-of-god into ye.


an ending that would have been way better imo:

Spoiler

The one part that had me truly on edge during the movie was that bit right after micah gets got, and you hear the footsteps coming upstairs..waiting to see what comes through the door. They could have cut to black right there and it would have been perfect.

[HoosierDaddy]

Good lord. It's entertaining. But.....

So predictable.

Seriously, seriously predictable.

I liked the ending. As in "yay!"

Yeah, pretty much. But still, the couple of nasty scares in it (no, not the ending) more than made up for it, I think.

[HoosierDaddy]

Oh, it was certainly entertaining. I was laughing at the lead male the entire time, thinking about the dumbass things people always do in horror movies, and what usually happens.

The movie was ok not the worse I ever seen but not the best either.

I thought the movie was good. I would even see it again or buy it on DVD.

The movie rocked. I loved it liked it alot. I recommend seeing it and I would watch it again and again.

Ya I thought the movies was good also. I cant wait till Transformers part 3 is out thats going to rock!

Hahaha. Malaz is getting sock-puppetted.

[Shinrei]

Sigh...I guess I'm too thick skinned for horror anymore. I wasn't impressed. And it didn't help that the entire last half of the film my wife kept saying "these idiots deserve to die and should just get on with it". I actually agreed. It would have been far scarier IMO if someone made a film where the characters being stalked/haunted acted in a normal fashion, and actually tried to be smart about things. That boyfriend was a complete ass, which ruined it for me.

That's kind of what I like about japanese horror films. People are just going about their lives in a normal way, and the evil finds them no matter what they might try to do. Being smart and still failing is much more entertaining than "So our two friends have axes in their heads, let's go check out what that noise was"

[QuickTidal]

Thread Necro cause I don't think this requires a whole new thread.

But the trailer has come out for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 (done by the people who did CATFISH) and it looks like it concentrates on the whole family curse thing and has footage from Katie and Christie's youth and perhaps how the demon showed up to begin with. at any rate, I find these films interesting enough to keep watching cause they mostly work on scares and frights as opposed to gore....and I like that kind of scary movie that plays with your head.
