Review | Paranormal Activity

NOW IN THEATERS

In this thriller that echoes The Blair Witch Project (and that cost $11,000 to make), a San Diego couple (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) set up a night-vision video camera to film themselves sleeping and prove their house is haunted. The film builds with undeniable tension — and has moments of sheer terror. Bring someone whose hand you can hold!
