PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAD ME UNTIL GOODBYE
Along the lines of the Blair Witch Project, we meet a lovely young couple, Katie (Katie Featherstone) and Micah (Micah Sloat) who live in a lovely home with a lovely life until really weird stuff starts happening to them, or rather, her. Micah is the overexcited boyfriend that wants to catch it all on tape for You-Tube while Katie just wants to find some peace of mind. The slow pace is forgivable, but the ending offers less than to be desired. It is Katie that gives the picture any sort of resemblance to a documentary and she does so very well. I prefer scary movies that aren't all blood and guts and this one was creepy enough to pass muster.
Bite: More thriller than horror with a misplaced ending, otherwise compelling.
