This is a film I’m desperate to see released in the UK. Hotly tipped as this decades’ Blair Witch Project, Oren Peli’s super low-budget supernatural is simply about a couple who set up a video camera in their room to try and capture the strange goings-on they’ve noticed during the night. Straightforward. As you can see from the trailer it’s more about what you don’t see that is frightening, which is a noticeable change from the gore fest zombie slashers we’ve seen of late.

It was released this past weekend in the US, and it absolutely destroyed other releases such as Where the Wild Things Are, Astro Boy and the mundane SAW VI, by raking in a massive $22 million. A damn good profit, considering it only cost $11,000 to make.

On the Paranormal Activity site you can read all about the 1 million fans that demanded this film be screened in their towns and watch the other trailers.
