Doesn't that kind of spoil the ending of the first movie?
by juansanchez
-
Boy, I REALLY hope we get one of these every year like the Saw movies!
-
How about no, you crazy Dutch bastard!
-
black screen of death
-
looks scarier than the first one which lets be honest was a huge disappointment in the scare department after the viral campaign
-
WTF is that upside down shit about that is written in the mirror? "What is happening to Hunter?" Also the baby being in the reflection and not in the crib made me have hope that this movie can actually be creepy.
-
Without expectations, like I did the first one
-
Damn you Steve Jobs and your hatred for all things flash.
-
Does not make me want to see this movie. But that creepy shit- the reflection of the baby but he's not in the crib- that makes the skin crawl.
-
and my name was even in the fan credits at the end.
-
Some people have they're deal about clowns....
But rocking chairs moving by themselves freak me out man! -
spoiled the ending for the first one. Hell, given the fact that this kind of movie is all tease, without much to sell for money shots, we may have just seen the ending of this film too.
-
When bad shit is gonna go down. That poor dog was protecting Hunter in the crib, but he was no match for a demon. I'm just glad this one looks like ACTUAL creepy shit will happen and not just doors opening and closing and fat bitches getting pulled out of beds during their beauty sleep.The upside down mirror writing still got me the most.
-
I hear ya'. Throw in some little ghost girls giggling in the distance and I have to change my drawers.
-
nyuk nyuk nyuk
-
I don't see it, where should I be looking?
-
I will hate this film.
-
talk, suspense, nopayoff
talk suspense, no payoff...etc...and then at the end all we really got was the same type of shock scare that was popularized on the web years ago when everyone was sending eachother vids that would end with a pic of linda blaire appearing on your screen and a loud scream blaring away. -
Unless you happen to see one standing in your backyard watching you quietly. I think rocking chairs moving by themselves is creepy too. If there is no draft pushing it, then why the fuck is it moving? Also on top of my creepy list: Cats and the way they just stare up in the air looking at shit that isn't there. Walking to the gym at 4:30AM and it's still dark and you suddenly hear "Laurie's Theme" in your head and expect to see Michael Myers next to the bushes up ahead watching you. The TV movie "David", because I saw it when I was 7 and it ruined me for months.
-
Let the trailer completely finish. When the trailer ends, it freezes on a shot of the room. You see the baby in the reflection and not in the crib. And on the bottom of the mirror on the wall it says "What is happening to Hunter?" upside down.
-
They're going to release a new Paranormal Activity movie every Halloween until they stop making money.
The trailer looks kinda meh. It has that same "ZAP! - Scared ya!" vibe from the first one, but little else. We'll see. -
It's amazing that this shit sells. Well, maybe not that amazing.
-
The fat chick eating in the trailer!!!! only the BIG MAC is in the reflection!!!!
-
Killed the SAW franchise. But in the process of doing so, it has now become the new SAW.
-
"And, why is she in the bathroom?"Eclipse is going to make a shit ton of money this weekend.
-
The first one was totally overrated, with the only effective bit being the girl dragged out of bed and down the hall. The rest? Ass and balls. Not gonna reward Paramount with my scratch for this shit either.
NEXT. -
"the first one Killed the SAW franchise. But in the process of doing so, it has now become the new SAW." .....yes and now Paranormal Activity has the JUICE.
-
so what makes them think it'll work for a Blair Witch rip-off?
-
For how shitty and repetitive this sequel will be!!!!
-
Well, as much as I liked the first film, a sequel made me shudder, as surely it would turn into a money driven, studio whore project devoid of any creativity. But....that looked ....well, I didn't hate it. Maybe I just want to like it because I liked the first one alot. I don't know...I'm at the very least wondering where they are going with her character...is she now a recurring movie monster, will she be a victim...an apparition? Just one of those "I saw this girl standing over there" things...or what? Btw, if you don't appreciate the first movie then please drink gasoline. Thank you.
-
That was the worst piece of shit I've seen in five years. Some motherfucker decides to make a long ass youtube video about the two stupidest fucking people on Earth and everyone fucking buys into the shit. Fuck that.
-
What do you enjoy as far this genre is concerned?
-
You're a massive pussy and the world is just too fucking tough for your faint little heart. You should probably kill yourself.
-
Oh,and demonic spirits
-
...until the reviews start coming in.
-
The first one was an overhyped piece of shit... invest an hour and a half to watch a girl (who is a fucking atrocious actor by the way) get dragged out of bed?! seriously, how the fuck is that at all scary?!?
-
After all, my parents are sleeping in the next room!

Moral of first movie.
-
where she just returned to the room and sat on the floor for like 14 hours rocking back and forth with the knife in her hand. Far more unsettling ending than the cheezy superstrength demon shit.
-
seriously wtf, dont you people like suspense??????
i cant believe some people whines about some scares being too simple like the door moving by itself, get the fuckin point people, if that would happen at your house right now (without air currents and no explanation) YOU'D PISS YOUR PANTS , you know it, dont bullshit yourself -
Some of you talk SO MUCH bullshit...
How - exactly - is that trailer any kind of spoiler for the first movie?
You guys will complain about anything!
And, it came out in 2009. If you wanted to see you'd have done so by now.
Really, STOP whining! -
To answer you question. It cannot bottle the magic of the first one. I was on board with the security camera switching and was hoping to see something a little unsettling, a little paranormal...and instead, I got a shot of a girl standing there with a loud noise to accompany it. OH MAN I JUST SHIT MYSELF!!!!! Please.
-
First of all, you are entitled to your opinion, second of all, try to understand that there is more than one type of horror, and these types work for different people on different levels. Some prefer gross-out horror such as SAW or HOSTEL, some prefer slasher movies, some prefer slow-burning psychological horror that doesn't rely on buckets of blood or CGI to know what scares some people. To call people pussies who found the first movie scary just shows what an ignorant, narrow-minded ass you are.
Finally, know your subject matter. I'm a paranormal investigator in my spare time, and I have spoken to many people in the field who all agree that this movie is the most accurate depiction of this type of phenomena, despite the far-fetched parts which are of course debatable. I have seen this type of shit for real (poltergeist activity), and once you have experienced this kind of thing, or if you believe in it, the movie is all the more effective. If you dont like this stuff, fair enough, but understand that some people love it. Hence the reason a sequel has been made. -
The first Paranormal Activity was crap... I couldn't finish it. The only reason Blair Witch worked was because it was a marketing anomaly (genius)... ppl actually thought it was lost footage.
"What do you enjoy as far this genre is concerned?"
As far as what? Horror? The Exorcist ('73), The Shining ('80), Rosemary's Baby ('68), Hellraiser ('87), Halloween I and II (not the Rob Zombie remakes), Suspiria ('77), Evil Dead ('81)... too many to list.
Faux documentary horror, etc? None. Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, Quarantine, etc.... all of them bored me. -
if you think about it. It even predates Survivor.
-
Logic, it just stopped giving a fuck. XFL baby!
-
if you think about it. The Real World was like '92.
-
But, when I was watching Paranormal Activity... I kept having flashbacks to the Sega game "Night Trap." Anyone remember that game? lol. Wasn't it banned? I think Lieberman and Kohl led the charge on that one.
-
FUCK! I fucking forgot about the Real World. Wow, what a trash show that became eh?
-
I'm looking forward to this. I'm glad it didn't take the B.W.2 route.
-
and vaginas feel good. Having a chick magically appear in front of you in the middle of a blue colored night is bad thing. I wake up with wood and I sleep in the nude. Who's going to be more disturbed here? And what's up with bangover hair do? People are afraid of girls with long hair covering their faces now?

This fourteen second clip scarier than the entire first movie...
by burnhollywood
Better payoff, too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIGxKY5y6Mg -
There are so many bad things that can be said about this...... Baby: OH! A chick! Hey! Do you think that you can change my daiper.... only all the adults in the house have fucked off somewhere, and I've been trying to re-enact that family guy scene where the dog eats the shit outof Stewies nappy, but you've gone and scared the fucking dog away..."
-
That fact that many of you are alive. That's HORRIFIC!!! PA2 will pwn.
-
I saw it in the movies, knowing nothing about it except that is was a new horror movie. It was very good. Seeing this trailer makes me want to see the sequel, Maybe I'll pay this time instead of sneaking across, since I really liked it.
-
A dog and a baby? This film sounds like a "road" episode of "Family Guy."
-
But in 2009 it was just a rehash of The Blair Witch Project.
-
The possessed girl looks at the camera, then Bruce Campbell kicks in the door carrying a shotgun and says "Yo, she-bitch! Let's go." Actually, you could say Bruce Campbell busting in to kick ass and take names is pretty much how all movies should end.
-
Paranormal Camcorder looks better than this one.
-
...if they finally get that broad to show off those bodacious tatas.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2: THIS ACTIVITY AIN'T FUCKING NORMAL
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
-
I've got a sad feeling that this Twilight garbage will have the biggest box office weekend of the Summer.
-
First off, I hated Blair Witch. I thought it was total crap and not scary. Then Paranormal Activity came out and it was basically the same deal. A low budget movie that was so overhyped. And all the commercials showed the audience screaming. What was there to scream at in the first movie? The only thing good about Paranormal Activity was, for a movie made so cheaply, it made some sense. But the acting was horrible and the plot was very lazy. I mean you have a woman who had an evil ghost following her all her life and then her jackass boyfriend decides to try to contact it and all hell breaks loose. PA2 is probably going to be better, since they'll have better actors and better effects, but I still think it's going to be a piece of shit.
-
That's one hot possessed chick.
-
If they manage to keep that up I'm in but that's a big if... Superman news?
-
This looks like the Madeleine McCann story - HOLLYWOOD-STYLE! Sick puppies.
-
But the second one needs a cameo of The Ghostbusters.
-
woeful teaser
-
CRITIC, n. A person who boasts himself hard to please because nobody tries to please him.
-
'What is happening to Dr Hunter?' in the mirror? Pretty sure there is a small 'dr' in there. Anyways, PA was about a million times better than Saw or any of it's sequels, so I'm happy to give this a chance.
-
If a girl breaks into your home, she has no right whatsoever to be shocked at finding an erection - possessed or not.
-
I was incredibly excited for the first movie but it really let me down. I think the bad acting really had something to do with it. I hope the 2nd has actors that geniunely looked frightened versus being excited or depressed about all the scariness.
-
They'll need the dog for the beginning of 'Paranormal Activity 3', where the brave canine will inform the audience of preceding events via doggy-flashback.
This happens in all the best sequels. -
Didn't love the first one. Didn't hate it. But I like supernatural horror.
-
I like subtle, creepy horror. But it was just boring. To me.

For those of you who didn't see the first film a question.....
by dolmes
Why the fucking hell would you watch the trailer for the second? It's a moronic, dopey, stupid thing to do when you think about it. Pretty much sums up a talkbacker really doesn't it. Fucktard complainers.
Looking forward to it. Ronald Raygun I thought the 'chunky girl' was pretty damn gorgeous. -
It will fail with PA.
-
yeah I think they can bottle that 'lightning' again, there apparently isn't much to it.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2: THIS TIME... IT AIN'T FUNNY
by ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuutttttlllllaaaaa
-
Well I'm scared already.
The first one was tedious and predictable and this is just shite on a stick. -
dont know what its even about.
-
we demanded it. yeah, right. the berg thought the first was the scariest film he had seen in a very long time.
-
The one with the George Lucas under-chin dewlap? She was the scariest thing in the first movie! Incidentally, I don't worry about the paranormal. I've trained my dog to bite ghosts!
-
I got suckered by the hyped surrounding the first and found it to be the biggest piece of shit movie I've seen in a long time!No way can they fool me twice!
-
Btw. In addition to the upside-down writing and baby not in the crib but showing in the mirror at the end (well at the end if you watch it on the website not the embed since it doesn't seem to show on that), the baby is also missing from the crib but still in the mirror on the shot with the woman standing there.
-
Following on from your "doggy comment", I can imagine the dog in the theatre watching this pile of shit a la Family Guy... "Nothings happening. Nothings happening. Nothings happening. The end. Alot of people look pissed......."
-
Spent the whole time during the movie looking at her jugs..... that woman has some DAMN FINE pottery!
-
It was cute back in the 90s. today, it's beyond over-used. Think of something different already, you Holywood people! Jeez!!
-
"the berg thought the first was the scariest film he had seen in a very long time." He obviously didn't see the re-runs of "1941" and "Always"...... shudder.......

My new mission in life: Make sure no one wastes a dime on PA2
by gruntybear
Paranormal Activity was the worst piece of shit to come down the pike in decades. Worse even than JJTrek. I will make it my mission in life to make sure no one I know spends a dime on this crap a second time. No fucking way.
-
A possessed erection?
You see your honor there was a ghost in my penis and that explains the terrible incident at the Chuckie Cheese. -
bit of fun having an open mind and all but.. ya know..its not real. never was or will be . sorry to burst anyones bubble!
-
Whatever
-
All the mystery and creepiness that made me want to see the original is absent in this overstuffed teaser. I agree that it was a wrong move in including the ending of the first one. Paranormal Activity didn't need a sequel but the studio wants to try and repeat its success to make more money.
-
Finally we get to see they're first wacky adventure!!!
IN 3-DEEEEEEEEE!!!! -
i hope its not...i mean sure she survived and was possessed and got away before the cops arrived. but dont turn her into some jason/meyers thing stalking new people. the girl in this seems to have dark hair so lets hope its a new character and not cuz the original girl dyed it or something.
-
Jun 30, 2010 7:51:28 AM CDT
Hope they kill off that useless psychic from the first one
by rev_skarekroe
"You guys are on your own, I'm too scared, bye!"What an asshole.
-
Really, starting to think Movies make you imagine, but withn this cheap effects, you know theres a guy behind that door with a string and a Weiner scaring the crap of that dog.
-
the Ghost Dimension. This is a Poltergeist 3 mirror thing, and really, could we ask for more? The first one did spook me, though, for the very reason that many people hated it: knowing some supernatural stuff is going to happen but not being sure where and to what extent was the anticipation that made it creepy. With no big FX creatures or CGI monsters jumping into your face, it seemed more realistic, making it easier to suspend disbelief, so when the little things happened, it was creepier than it would have been in a slick looking typical Hollywood movie.
-
Also, toys don't really talk, aliens have never invaded, no single cop can take on a hoard of terrorists single-handedly.
-
Serious if you didn't see the first one why even comment on it. Second everybody has a mind of their own, but seriously if you don't like something stop bitching about it. The people who like it always will you whining about it won't change a thing
-
So I will be giving 2 a chance. Methinks that baby will be either eaten or possessed, in which case that'll guarantee a fun time in the theater. And no, Katie is not your typical cinematic beauty, but she's got a smart, spunky personality that makes her more attractive than most. I dig her.
-
The Faux-Docu Chain of Merit. None of them were really scary, btw, though some of REC was; Blair Witch was okay, it was fun watching them unravel, but ultimately it was overrated and boring; and Paranormal Activity wasn't scary AT ALL, and was mostly lame and silly, but I did like the ending bit. (I don't include CLOVERFAIL on the list as it was one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. )
-
Is to go in with an opened mind and let your imagination run wild. If that doesn't work, have a doobie on standby.

-
Is the first faux-docu horror film and it's WAY better than this bs. It's also TERRIBLE, but in a way that's AWESOME, deranged, and transgressive.
-
who balk at movies that aren't real. Like bah just mentioned, no movies are "real". Even documentaries are edited to tell a story. What the hell kind of argument is "That couldn't really happen, so it ain't scary." And if being scared by a movie is inherently pussy, you are saying you have never enjoyed any horror movie. Or that you are a hypocritical pussy. Which could actually be a decent name for a band.
-
In Batman 3!
And people in hell wants Ice water! -
On purpose!
-
Score!
-
Just thinking about Blair Witch is enough to make me heave.
-
The original was really suspensful and underrated. Done pretty well I think. i'll file this sequel under maybe. Could work. Might watch it. Just hope its not too similar to the original and i hope it feels like its made by someone telling a story not by someone who thinks they are onto a money maker. I'll give this a tentative maybe.
-
The ones that owe a shitload of money to whatever bullshit Art school they've attended for six years without any immediate way of paying back the loans. Working double shift at Pinara bread to pay rent on a shitty studio apartment thats so small that when they open the front door to get in, they knock a window out of the bathroom. LIfe basically sucks at this point.
Then here comes some jag-off who makes millions and gets a sequel to a movie he films in his house.... Well guess what?
GET OVER YOUR FUCKING SELVES AND GET CREATIVE!!!!! -
Now that's "Sharing the wealth"
-
Creepy, disturbing and funny as hell in the same breath.
But to make an "older" Riddler could be murder on the merchandise end. -
...I watch just about every horror movie made, hoping for something that will scare me the way the original Evil Dead did when I saw it at the old Empire Theater in Kansas City back when I was a pup. Huge movie house from the old days in the middle of a dying downtown. Rats in the aisles and passed out drunks in the seats. Me and three other kids a few years shy of being legitimately sold tickets, but back then no one really cared... ...and then Ash's sister calling out those cards and floating up off the floor and it was sweet. I'd been scared before, sure, my parents were big on the drive-in and there was plenty of crazy triple feature Italian mayhem still going on at the drive-ins in the late 70s...but that moment in Evil Dead... Anyway, people, it doesn't make you cool not to be scared. It doesn't make you cool not to believe in "paranormal rubbish". It just means you have deficient imaginations and stunted senses of wonder. Sucks for you, I guess. So many things that should be cool won't be. I doubt I get much of a charge from PA2. I didn't gt much from the first, though I admired what they did with very little resources. But I'll watch it. And I'll be hoping for the best. Just a little p.s. Seeing as how I do watch nearly every horror movie that comes in reach...if you think Cloverfield or PA or Blair Witch was the worst movie in a decade you don't watch enough movies to get an opinion. It's like someone eating just a slice of bread, a spoonful of ice cream and an olive and declaring bread the worst food in the world. You're saying so much more about you than the movie.
-
who had heard nothing about it, prior to sitting in her seat. She announced afterwards that she spent the first half of the film genuinely believing the film was real footage. This is a girl with a PhD. I laughed so hard a little bit of the spirit world came out my arse.
-
Thought it was great. Very tense. I'll see PA2. Looks like it takes place right after PA ends.
-
From personal experience I can truthfully say there is most definitely something to them. I'm not going to say anymore than that.
-
It was right there as Dexter's sister got dragged away. Terrible.
-
that'i haven't paid a dime to see the crap that PA piece of shot that is Blair witch project. Please if you serously support horrormovies check your classics most or 20/30/40 years old and still raises the backhairs. I wouldn't count on these becoming classics more like people using the DVDs that you could throw into the fire after you forgot to pay the gas and electricity bill.
-
Am I crazy...in the brief shot of the lady standing in the doorway, the baby is not in the crib, but he is standing in the crib in the mirror reflection (the whole opposite wall or closet door is a mirror).
-
Watching PA caused a veritable deluge in my trousers.
-
Nerds crack me up.
-
...between 3 and 4 am. PA scared me like no other. I was on vacation visiting the p's and the guest bedroom is at the top of the stairs just like in the movie. I didn't sleep for shit. It's been a year and I haven't even rented it, that's how much that flick freaked me out. Don't hate, congratulate. This movie will go down as one of the scariest, if not THE scariest movie of all time. Blair Witch and REC are great, but they don't get REALLY scary until the end. The only movies that comes close in my book are The Exorcist and original Elm Street. You know, the types of horror flicks that make you lose sleep at night. That's when you know you got your money's worth!
-
PA was a fun little film. This looks like a slightly higher budget sequel that looks promising. What's to hate or get steamed about?
-
My wife had the same reaction - couldn't sleep with the door open. The best movies are the ones that haunt you long after you've seen them. Kinda like (500) Days of Summer, which haunts you in a positive way.
-
look at the mirror at the 55sec mark and spot the difference!!!!!!!
-
She did however have some "tig ol' biddies" and I would hit that as well, while she's possessed, riding on top, as the time elapses on the camcorder---
Angry Homer Simpson voice, shaking fist,
"I would "exorcise" that demon good!"
-
I guess I should read all of the messages before I post. The mysterious baby in the mirror had already been mentioned. But, crap, who reads every message. Also, those people commenting on the weight of the girl in the original need to get a life. She's supposed to look like a normal person, thus contributing to the illusion that this is a real series of events that were recorded. I thought she was attractive, except for that part at the end where she turned into a demon. I guess all of your girlfriends look like Megan Fox or some strangely proportioned Rob Liefeld drawing.
-
...make that mistake with fat chicks. They're not "damn fine pottery", they're "fat pottery"! There IS a difference.
-
...yyyyyeea...NO! They're bullshit. You're friends are putting one over on you and laughing at you behind your back. Don't feel too bad, same thing happened to me once, too.
-
when they put that powder to see if footprints are left. well sure enough they wake up find some and are rightly freaked, but neither seems to be really surprised by the fact the footprints aren't even human, they're hoof-like. neither makes any comment.

Actually he deserves better. Apologies, Mr. Nielsen.

This could easily be a lot better than PA1.

Interesting. That was actually a decent trailer, could it be better than the (overhyped) original?

and has stated he loved to do again. robin Williams as the riddler would be immense. I would love to see him go really bad. and i mean really rally bad.

scares me far more.

Glad to hear some people (hopefully non-plants) were truly scared by and enjoyed PA. I had high hopes. Alas, I still sleep at night. When I see demon footsteps in the hall, I only chuckle quietly before getting out the swiffer.
-
There is nothing written on the mirror at the end. You guys.... a joke to get us to watch ten times in a row.
-
That girl from the first one was so freaking hot.

was the chair rocking by itself.

It's not a ghost. It's a demon. That's right, my cock is a demon. I call him Pazuzu.
-
When the trailer ends and screen cap comes up with Replay on it look in the mirror. Not only is the baby in the mirror but not in it's crib but there is somekinda writing on the floor.
-
Watch it on the official site and wait until it's over and the replay screen cap comes up, there is something written in the mirror
-
The first one was worth watching for that reason alone.
-
it doesn't load and play(normally) in dial-up :(
-
are closet homosexuals who are grossed out by a woman who is not built like a skinny 10-year old boy. FACT! She's actually smaller than the average American woman, except for her prodigeous boobage. And I'm glad she and the girls are part of the sequel, and that PA2 is a continuation of the original. I actually liked the slow buildup of the original; it's not unlike POLTERGEIST in that regard. I know it's too slow for the ADHD crowd of mouthbreathers, but fuck them anyway, they'd bitch no matter what. I'll be checking this one out.
-
was when the hoof prints appeared in the powder, my wife leaned over and said "who the fuck is haunting them, Mr.Tumus"? I couldn't stop laughing, other people in the audience were pissed off at me.
-
thats hilarious, you got me laughing outloud and i'm alone at my desk at work. i can only imagine trying to keep quiet in a theater after she says that. lol
-
Bad acting, stupid writing, shit directing. It blew. I was pissed I watched it. Won't make that mistake again.
-
Gretchen Mol spent a little fun time with a producer of it in order to secure her husband a directing gig?
-
I don't give a shit if that makes me a "pussy" or not. And I don't even believe in ghosts or demons, I just happen to have an imagination. For the record, I don't believe in hobbits, either; but I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings films. See how that works? I may avoid seeing this in the theaters this time, however. Something tells me it will be filled with pathetic high schoolers, in age or mental faculty, who will spend the whole movie loudly mocking it, whether its any good or not, to prove how tough they are at not being afraid. It really is absolutely pathetic if you grade your manhood by your inability to be affected by a fictional horror movie.
-
directing/cinematography looks a lot better in this one, doesnt look as cheap, the first one was filmed like 5 minutes from my house here in rancho penasquitos, san diego area
-
... looked like a real person. A real pretty girl you cna find anywhere. Instead of the impossible models thin as toopicks that we normally get in the movies pretending to be everyday normal salt of the earth women.
-
odd that the baby isn't composited out of the mirror when the woman is standing in the doorway.
-
1) Anyone who actually pisses their pants from fright during a movie is a pussy.
2) I love horror movies, but most of them aren't scary.
3) The Exorcist was scary, PA was boring.
4) I'm sick of the "based on a true story" tag in movies. It's all bullshit folks. There aren't any aliens, ghosts, vampires, or chainsaw wielding demons. So let's not pretend this shit is real.. Mmkay?

... the version i saw had a different ending then the one that's described in Wikipedia. The version i saw, the movie ends with Katie, after she killed Micah, she goes to the bedroom, seats on the ground and rocks back and fowards for hours (possibly a whole day). Then we heard cops arriving at the house, and they discover Micha's deadbody and they find Kalie in the room. Katie seems to get out of her tranze, she panics and runs to the cops, who then shoot her dead. The movie ends with the cops reporting the shooting and the camera runs out of baterries.This is the eding i saw in the movie i saw called PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. There was no hurling of Micah against the camera, and no Katie smiling demonically, and no disapearence of Katie to place unknown.Have any of you guys seen this same ending for the movie i saw?

My post came incomplete, with whole paragraphs missing. I'll post again my complete post. Has this thing ever happeend to you too?
-
That's the original ending, when it was shown in film festivals. The story is that Speilberg, a big promoter of the film after he saw it, suggested the ending shown in wide release. I believe the original ending you saw is included on the DVD as a deleted scene.

Funny, becasue the ending i saw was IN the movie. It was the movie's ending. and i really liekd it, it gave the movie a lot of poignancy, and it made the demon that possessed Katie to be even more malevolent, like using people and discarting them like used milk cardboards. Truly evil shit. And of course, that both died, Micah and Katie.

A critic I'm "friends" with on facebook said the exact same thing, though his review hasn't been published yet: Sounds like Shyamalan didn't learn anything from Lady in the Water or Happening.
-
its an alternate ending on the dvd but was that ever shown in any theaters? i actually liked it.
-
the dude's body was hurled against the camera just prior to what you describe.That, anyway, was the version that was showed at the "you demanded it" advanced screening I saw.I can't say what the general theatrical audience saw two weeks later, because, having seen the thing once, why would I, a reasonably intelligent adult, pay to see such average stuff a second time?
-
Dogs would be flipping out 24/7.
-
That's all I got to say about that.
-
with Katie going around possessed? Because fuck that shit. The first picture was good. Spielberg threw out the superior (throat-slitting) ending because he knew the brain dead American audiences would prefer the tacked on "BOO!" ending, but it was still decent.
-
How can a dude go from a phenomenal filmmaker and writer to complete dogshit in ten years?
-
When Katie appears in the bathroom doorway. Notice the baby crib and the lack of baby in said crib. And then look in the mirror on the left side of the room.
-
...about posters who feel the need to insist that they're aren't any of this or that sort of monster. I'm sure they think they're staking out a bold, rational position. But it mostly comes off as though they're a little bit scared, scrunching their eyes shut in between each word they type and maybe muttering "I don't believe in Mary Worth" while they rock back and forth because the light's off in the bathroom and they can't quite muster the courage to stick their hand around the corner and into the darkness to flip it on. Don't worry, you're right, there's only that truck driver who lives by himself across the street and he probably only parked his 18 wheeler in front of your house today because there was someone already parked on his side of the street when he got home. And it was probably you who left the back door unlocked when you let Mr. Sparkles out this morning. Funny that it's afternoon now and he's still not back, though.

how the hell can Katie be in it?

But I'm not going to say more than that.

tb'ers would have LOVED PA if the chubby girl was NAKED
by fat_rancor_keeper
.......guaranteed if the film makers had some balls and slipped in some full frontal BBW style nudity you guys would have liked the movie more.
-
...I would have liked the movie more. Gratuitous nudity can save a mediocre film.
-
The best part of "open water" was the nudity in the opening of the film.
-
Don't look in the closet or underneath the bed
Something may be waiting there, no matter what they said
Don't go in the basement, or in the empty room
Strange things are happening that don't concern you
-
If only. My encounters were never of the sexual nature, unfortunately. That's all I can say about that.
-
...movie was last year? Trick r' Treat. Nah, maybe Let the Right One In. Not House of the Devil, though I liked that one. Not PA. Still a great job for the resources they had.
-
BringingScaryBack, tell more?
But please remember I am of a nervous disposition. -
...not as scary as Ghost Watch, which played the same basic riff a rather long time ago. Although it was quite superior to 4th Kind, which was really rather inept. Also better than Paranormal Entity, which is available on Netflix streaming but still overpriced.
-
awesome little flick.
-
more questions than answers...
-
... cause personally I do not believe in them till I see them.
-
Literally afraid ...
-
Trick r' Treat, Let the Right One In and House of the Devil (now that's how you do slow burn) were all great for what they were.
PA and PA2 are a cheap way to make a buck, that is all. -
Just like part one.

My wife and I were sitting in the living room and watching TV. Her purse was on the floor.
We both heard a muffled tapping noise, and saw her purse moving. Like something was tapping it from the inside ...
I asked her what it could be, maybe her cellphone? She thought it might've been a mouse, maybe from work. We both watched it - the tapping occurred every, say, 8 seconds or so. And sometimes 1 tap, sometimes 2.
So I took the bag outside and emptied it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing that could've made it move like that - and we both saw and heard it, it was no delusion.
Thing is ... her cat, who was living with her mom states away, had passed away a short time before that. And that cat used to hide and play in her purse.
So yeah, I saw a kitty ghost in real life. Just one of a few instances that totally convinced me that there is a spiritual world and we don't really die ... -
...Dead Snow as I thought I'd be. I mean it was okay but it had been talked up like it was incredible.
-
I've heard a few stories from buddies but I personally have never experienced anything from the 'other' world. Although a spirit could be cool like in Spirited Away.
-
Jun 30, 2010 1:56:30 PM CDT
THE OTHER THING IS - DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH OUIJA BOARDS
by bringingsexyback
like Micah did.
-
...but it's unlikely that when the cat played with her purse it tapped it regularly every eight seconds or so. Now a vibration from something nearby, roadwork or something of that nature may well have caused the purse to move on a regular timetable. And the vibration could certainly have been both subtle enough not to have been noticed by you and strong enough to move what may have been an unevenly balanced purse. I don't want to be mean or even say that it wasn't the ghost of your wife's cat, but I've spent a long time in these trenches and when you said regularly about every eight seconds that seemed a very large clue.
-
I was like, "he's toast."
-
No, it wasn't timed exactly ... just approximately and an irregular intervals. We thought long and hard about it. Maybe, just maybe, there may be a logical explanation. But if you saw what we saw, when everything else was completely still ... you embrace the obvious. And the funny thing is I couldn't mimic the same tapping movement with my own finger because the lining was pretty thick. The way the leather surface moved ... it was eerie./
-
...in my childhood I was surrounded by the occult. I have a great aunt who was written up in the KC Times as a table walker and seances were a pretty regular part of my childhood. I also had a father who was defiantly agnostic long before that was accepted. I've experienced a few things that I still have no satisfactory explanation for, but I suspect that's because I lack the facts that would allow me to discover what the explanations are. I've maintained a pretty firm interest in the unexplained throughout my life (been a member of the eupraxsophist society on the one hand and learned about as much as possible about the occult on the other) and you'd be surprised how common it is for intelligent people of good will to misidentify what they see and hear. Part of that's confirmation bias but I've always thought that a large part was just hardwired. When we see or hear something that we did not expect to see or hear we react with fear because that's a pretty good trait for survival. All that said I surely do hope it was the ghost of your wife's cat. Because a world where that could happen is a far more interesting place.
-
my god, i know some think she was chunky or whatever and yes she was a little curvy but man she was no where near BBW size. i just hope everyone calling her fat aren't americans. because with the fat epidemic in that country, she's a skinny pole by compairaison. lol
-
was a guy used to be an accountant and he didnt make any money. so he went off and started to talk to the dead. and he makes a fortune! hahahahahaha
-
If they're breaking the "one camera, found footage" conceit of the first film, why stick with night vision? Also, IMDB is listing this as in "pre-production." Either Imdb fucked up (probable), or this teaser is one of the first things they shot (not improbable), or both.
-
...nanny cam?
-
That's fascinating. And I'm skeptical by nature ... so it took a lot for me to accept that it was her kitty. Of course the possibility exists for another explanation but considering the timing of when it took place, and what took place, I'm inclined to believe in the spiritual explanation. And yeah, things like that sure do make the world a far more interesting place.
-
It says," What is happening to Hunter?"
-
Maybe. But in the kitchen and on the patio? I'm interested to see why the demon is targeting a baby other than just a cheap ploy to make audiences on edge because a child is in danger. And also why a demon would write shit on a mirror in lipstick instead of just slaughtering everyone. In all honesty, I'll probably see it. Just to know how it turned out. But here's the real question: Would people bashing how this looks like it any better if it abandoned the video camera thing and did something totally different like Blair Witch 2? I doubt it.
-
...good points all the way around.
-
doing the face sitting thing, but that's what safe signals are for.
-
So, based on the original, this ghost was following her a long time (since childhoo). I think she was probably pregnant with dude's baby from the first and moved and now has a baby and a dog and probably had no knowledge that she went psycho on her b/f. It probably takes over and leaves her with no memory...

I thought I remembered reading about an alternate ending
by cathleenturneroverdrive
where Katie looks at the camera slits her own throat to end the movie. Can anyone confirm this or am I just making crap up in my mind?
-
www.lemonparty.org
-
... til about 10 minutes ago. The theatrical release where Micah is thrown at the camera is pretty good, as is the original ending, but the one where she slices her own throat is great.
-
maybe Micah didn't die and she just disappeared. so the sequel revolves around Micah moving on and married with a new chick and has a baby, and posessed Katie comes looking for him to finish the job. It would explain why there are cameras all over the house because maybe Micah is still paranoid. I can't remember if they actually confirm his death when they say that she was never found at the end of the first film, if they do then my theory is shit.
-
doesn't say shit about the cast, so there is no confirmation that either Katie or Micah is in the sequel. That chick in the doorway might not be Katie at all.
-
After having to deal with the pathetic teenagers scream like idiots to impress their fellow douchebags during the first one... I'm out. Also Katie is fat? God I'm glad that 99.9% of you losers never leave your house.
-
I don't think that Katie was fat. She had huge tits and is considered normal size. People look at Megan Fox and think that is normal, so any chick that isn't a size zero is considered fat. Every fucking one of you who called her fat, would probably date her in a heartbeat if she was interested.
-
There are 3 different endings to the first one.
1.The official theatrical release where she throws Micah at the camera.
2.The ending where the cops shoot her.
3.The ending where she slits her throat.
-
Is it some Estonian thing?
-
I feel your pain, but that's pretty much the environment in every theater these days, regardless of genre. If it's not screaming, it's talking. The last six screenings I've attended had people talking throughout them. There's no etiquette anymore.
-
The only theaters I go to now are ones like Alamo Drafthouse and Studio Movie Grill. For some reason maybe it's cause food is distracting them or it's a lot more expensive people seem to not like idiots at those places.
-
Weird. Oh and that Katie chick is foxy.
-
like she was all bad or something, excuse me but....ARE YOU NOT SEEING THOSE NICE HUGE TITS???????
-
I would also like to motorboat those breasteses.
-
but this looks like equal parts super-hard Caligula-gay and fuck-tarded. Pass.
-
Did anyone else see the baby has a reflection in the mirror but is not in the crib like the reflection is showing? I have a screen shot of it, just dont know how to post one.
-
nice job.
-
Yeah, after the last cutaway, when it comes back the baby and dog are gone from the room and [only] the baby is showing in the reflection.
-
If you stop the teaser at .44 you can see a word on the bathroom mirror. It looks like "Love Micah"
-
I would have thought this looked stupid. Now that I have a kid, that was very spooky seeing the little child standing up in his crib innocently looking towards the bathroom. Spooky or scary, that hit me right there man
-
When you go and watch a movie like this, you've GOT to let yourself get drawn into it. If you sit there, arms folded, all "macho", saying "not scary, not scary, not scary" all the way through, then you've wasted your money and you're a twat. Swallow your pride, take it seriously, and enjoy the ride.
-
I cant see anything written on the mirror. The only thing I have seen in the mirror is the baby that really isnt there. But the end when the title is shown has the word "activity" shown as if it was a reflection in a mirror so it seems like there has a lot do with mirrors this time around. Maybe I am wrong, who knows. Looks awesome, and the first one was amazing. And for the record Katie is freaking hot. Say what you will haters but she is freakin hot! She is just the smokin hot girl next door type.
-
Like Jack Torrance would have put it: "All porn and no play makes some dull boys"
-
It is clearly referenced in first movie that Katie loves anal. You should love her by default.
-
Unless after she kills Micah she changed clothes I remember those bodacious tahs being stuffed into a wife beater along with a pair of Boxers.
-
...doesn't mean they're nice. It's just more fat. I mean, you want great tits, you don't go to a Renaissance Fair do you? All the chicks there wear low-cut dresses and their racks are ginormous... but the girls are ginormous ALL OVER, they're all blobby, fat-assed goth chicks. Same thing with Katie, minus the goth part, of course. Give me a tight smoking bod with a great rack, then we're talkin'. Geez... nerds.
-
Would make a great Grindhouse 2 feature. First one definitely bugged me out. the demon scream and thud, breathing on hair and her getting dragged down the hall were some of the scenes that stuck with me. Pretty amazing what can accomplished on no budget. I can empathize with those that dislike it as it's not for everyone, but you can't deny that freaky shit based in a very practical setting albeit with some embellishment is well... freaky shit.
-
...in the material world. Are spirts...in the material world.
-
is someone you could meet on the street and not some hot actress? What a stupid concept!! Who wants to see a movie with normal looking people?
-
after it received all the hype. Never heard so many shout: WTF, this is BS, I want my money back. People were pissed!! And it carried out to the parking lot with people telling those in line not to waste their time. Anybody else experience something similiar?
-
only shows up AFTER the trailer is over and you get the "replay" button on-screen. It's not in the actual trailer.
-
First one had a few creepy moments but was Ok. Can't wait to see the spoof movies on this series!
-
Also, if you're male and you don't find Katie Featherston sexually appealing, there's a pretty good chance you're gay. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. Good luck telling your folks.
-
I saw an advance screening of Blair Witch before all the hype, and the audience applauded at the end. They loved it. I think it was the massive hype that killed it.
-
A lot of people may think Katie is possessed by a ghost or a demon, but the way I look at the first film. I don't think she is. The film wants to trick you that she is. I think she's just insane and mental, someone who had a terrible past and she went on a murderous rampage, killed Micah in the first one. I don't think she's possessed at all, just an evil murderer. Anyway, I love "Paranormal Activity" and I look forward to the sequel.
-
Capone ruined his horror movie cred with me with his support of the PA hype machine. The hokey demon monkey shit... just didn't work for me.
-
Jun 30, 2010 10:25:11 PM CDT
I rented the 1st and fast forwarded it... only 3 scenes with any
by brannagins law
quit boring us. i don't want a horror movie needing to rely on screaming 16 year olds in order for it to make me jump, 'cause it doesn't. It just annoys the fuck out of me. Write a real horror story with a real camera already. This shit is old.
-
That makes no sense. At all. If the movie was saying that she was just crazy, then why include the supernatural elements?
-
Not only did Micah see all the demonic things happen before his eyes, but it was also caught on video. Also, where did Katie get the strength to launch him across a room?
-
By PA I mean the state. No seriously the one's who claim the movie sucked and blah blah... They are the one's who pissed their pants watching it.
-
Yea no thanks the first one was CRAPPPPPPPPP the second one can not be beater
-
That made the movie alright. Not great or amazing but alright. The dude was a fucking imbecile though.
-
turn the volume wayy up n listen close at 1:04-1:09... demon voice from PA1 that whispered katie's name, whispers"THERE IS NO HUNTER!"
-
Another 90 minute spectacular filled with loud noises and nothing happening that gets labelled scary. Why not head down to your local shop and ask them to watch their CCTV cameras for 2 hours. They could even employ you to do this if you get a kick out of watching shit like this.
-
Have you seen this? The trailer for Paranormal Activity was running ahead of the latest Twilight shitfest. But the tweeny "horror" audience who are far too interested in star-shiny tampons, I mean vampires, found it to be too scary and upsetting. So the cinema had to stop running it.Hah. Fuck you, you Twilight loving freaks, if a fucking idiotic trailer from a horror movie makes your panties get wet, and not in the good way.http://tinyurl.com/33a83b6

...it's the live-action Family Guy movie we've all been secretly dreading! The scene we don't see is when Petter runs in and farts, causing Meg to get grossed out and run to her room as Brian and Stewie roll on the floor in uproarious laughter. Then, as usual, in comes Lois with another scolding buzzkill for Peter while Chris just sits there looking oblivious.
-
Just sayin'...
-
...man I just dread when these little wilting faggots grow up and have to try and run everything.
-
Perineum Activity
-
as a hybrid zombie/human. Its the perfect role for her.
-
That doesn't mean a movie made of that subject cannot be scary and good.
-
I'm all for DIY, small films making it big, great. But when I'm rooting for the bad guy to kill and I mean fucking destroy the 2 leads in this film because of how moronic and annoying they are, that's just terrible. Unless that was the goal. I wish they would of stuck with the original ending instead leaving it open ended for the obivious money grubbing sequels that will be worse. The first PA story was shit, admit it people, couple of BOO! moments,other than that it's just 2 dipshits waiting to die.
-
"That makes no sense. At all. If the movie was saying that she was just crazy, then why include the supernatural elements?" From my understanding, the supernatural elements were only seen through the videos that Micah were taping. That was it. Only on video. Was there any supernatural scenes that didn't happen on video? I don't think there was. When Katie seemed possessed, she only seemed like that on video. When Micah isn't taping anything, everything's back to normal. All those supernatural things on video could be Micah just hallucinating things. "Not only did Micah see all the demonic things happen before his eyes, but it was also caught on video. Also, where did Katie get the strength to launch him across a room?" Again, launching Micah across the room like that only happened on video. If you payed attention to the movie, Micah knows that there is something wrong with Katie. Why do you think he wanted to film everything she does? He could be plotting those supernatural things himself.
-
Nice restraint there, Hollywoodsmen.
-
I rented Cloverfail a ways back... I couldn't finish that flick... holy shit was it bad.
-
they were doing a movie about alien abduction. AREA 51 or some crap. This is disapointing.
