Every few years or so, a movie comes out claiming to be “the scariest movie of all time” – the film almost always turns out to be a letdown (my kid sister eats scariest-movies-of-all-time for Saturday morning breakfast). Paranormal Activity deserves that title, and wears it proudly. I can’t say what transpires in the film without giving anything away, but I can say that Paranormal Activity creates an overwhelming feeling of suspense, when things start to happen, you’re left asking yourself “What the ….!?”. I’ve never seen a movie that has made me feel this way. I literally got chills through some of the scarier moments (of course, I won’t say anything; the movie deserves to be experienced for what it is) and the final five minutes of this movie had me at the edge of my seat. The final 30 seconds straight chilled me to the bone. As a horror fan, I have always looked for a movie that could actually scare me, and I have found that movie. This is NOT ketchup, dumb teenagers, and bad makeup. This is the real deal. I advise you to go, you will not be disappointed. Just be warned, you will not be the same afterward.

Oh and by the way, I’m not letting my kid sister see this.

9 out of 10

Hey everyone, the first official weekend of October is here and what better way to start off the month than with a zombie movie? Zombieland finally makes it way into theaters this weekend which looks to be a fun filled ride. Go check out the official website www.zombieland.com where you can turn yourself into a zombie. One other thing, we Houstonians have a special treat this weekend, the film Paranormal Activity is playing at AMC 30 on Dunvale and Westheimer. You may (or may not) have heard about this film – a couple is being haunted by a demonic spirit and have it all video recorded. I had the privilege of seeing this movie Thursday night, and I must say, it literally gave me the chills. I went home, called my Mom and cried myself to sleep…and I left all the lights on in my room. If you get the chance, and your not a wuss, go see it. AMC 30 only has midnight showings for Friday and Saturday nights, the movie may sell out so act quickly. Look for my official reviews of both Zombieland and Paranormal Activity this weekend.
