First off, I'd like to apologize for not blogging this past week. Monday and Tuesday I had school, and these last 3 days I've been taking advantage of my snow days. It was nice, thanks for asking.
Last night, me and my chums watched a little independent film by the name of Paranormal Activity. Jared was scarred (Yes scarred, not scared) from the movie, so I couldn't wait to feast my eyes upon this horror flick. It's time for another movie review:
Sypnosis:
Katie and Micah (no last names) have been together for 3 years. Ever since she was 8 years old, Katie has been somewhat haunted by something. Over the past few weeks, things have gotten worse and more frequent. She wakes up with nightmares and occasionally here noises in the house. Her boyfriend Micah is determined to capture the presence with a camera that rolls all day. After calling in a psychic, the two learn that the house isn't the problem- It's Katie. Whatever this thing is, it's not gonna go away. The being begins to strain the couple's relationship. How can they stop this from ruining their lives?
The movie was great. It was well-shot, kept me interested, and had plot twists that I've never seen in a horror film. By far, one of the best movies, let alone horror film.
Cast:
Katie, played by Katie Featherston: Great actress. A very believable performance as a 20-something year old being stalked by an unknown presence. In her first real film, Featherston proves she can play anything-possessed woman, sweet girl, this woman has potential
Micah, played by Micah Sloat: A persistent character, Katie's boyfriend of 3 years. Micah, a day trader, is determined to figure out what is haunting his live-in lover. He uses a camera to record all that goes on, even when they are sleeping. After awhile Katie protests to get rid of the camera, thinking it's making the presence angry. Micah persists. Micah Sloat was good to play the annoying, idiotic man. The character won't leave his messed up girlfriend. If that's not love, I don't know what is. Another believable performance.
Doctor Friedrichs, played by Mark Friedrichs, is the psychic that comes and helps the couple. Mark's performance of a professional was good, but doesn't compare to the others. The psychic, however becomes a problem instead of helping it, so he abandons the couple for their own safety.
Amber, played by Amber Armstrong, Katie's best friend. She tries to help in the two scenes she's in, but she just doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation. Armstrong sucked as a supporting actress, and I'd like to see her in another film that could help bring out her true abilities.
Yup, there were only 4 people in the main cast. It was a fantastic movie. I recommend it to anyone 12 years old or older, and is willing to scream out loud.
Color Me Gone,
Zach
