    I have just seen paranormal activity I must say, its all a hype, its not scary and takes 1 hour for anything to even happen! Also, I no it was done by an amature for $10000 and he has done very well for himself, making millions, but the camera work is rubbish!

    What do you think? Am I being harsh?

    the camera work is great, it was done that way for a reason... If it was in HiDef with cinema style cameras the movie would be crap. Also the movie is very good, if you stop thinking about the special effects, video quality and watch it as normal viewer you will appreciate it.

    Also, it was made for a total of $15,000 and has grossed over $100 million.

    There a few different endings to the movie and when the DVD comes out I am sure all the ending will be extras :)

    I really liked it, I think it could have been scarier though.

    I liked it and Blair Witch Project. The problem is watching Paranormal in the theater was the were people who would rather talk, laugh, or text. I know it's not for everyone, but is a little courtesy too much to ask?

    I hate that. That's why I'd rather rent a DVD and watch at home.

    This guy mobilefundu
    --- Rajbir Kohli <rajbirkohli@gmail.com>

    On Mar 2010 ---- I got in touch with him to collect some sri lankana emails.

    He promised 66k emails for $4.

    I paid through paypal & got his base.

    Here what I found out.

    Out of the 66K issued over 45, 000 plus emails from these domains:

    allalone.com
    backwards.com
    punk.com
    212.com

    These are not Sri lanka emails.

    So checking out of the 21000 "so called sri lankan emails" ..

    I ran my emailverifier to check the good one....

    Checking 1st 5000 SL emails....only 100 were valid.....most bad addresses cam from a domain called lakmail.com

    Checking 2nd 5000 SL emails...again only 300 were valid... most bad emails from domain slt.lk

    I didn't bother checking the rest ....out of left 11,000 email left most were from sltnet.lk

    I will run a complete check tonight all his DB and see ahat are the actual valid email accounts.

    He has simply created these invalid email addresses....

    So...be aware....you know who this person is....

    Yea I agree. It is very slow and lost my attention in the first hour - definitely not scary.

    I agree the beginning was slow, but it definitely got better towards the end. It's not a movie I'd go out of my way to see again, but it was worth watching once.
