Oh, if it's not as scary as Ju On then I can watch it

Thanks!

Saw this movie a couple of weeks ago... didn't really scare me, but I can understand why some would be scared. I liked how it was like a "true" type of haunting, not those average silly Hollywood hauntings where things are popping out at you every 5 seconds. I think what made Paranormal Activity creepy is that you never actually saw what was haunting their home.

But just wanted to say... there must be multiple endings, because I never saw anyone fly at the camera at the end like a few people have just said. Will put next part in white... After katie went downstairs near the end, she screamed, then we heard loud stomps coming upstairs, it was her, and then she sat on the floor against the bed and rocked back and forth all night, and all of the following day. Her friend came by to see what was up since she'd not heard from them in a while, and she found Micah's dead body and called police. Shortly later, police show up, search the house, and Katie leaves the room with a knife in her hand, back to her normal self asking where Micah is (She was possessed by the entity before and killed Micah herself downstairs) and the police saw her approaching with the knife and shot her. A door slammed behind them, they went to check, found nothing, and that was the end of the movie. So not sure what you guys mean.

Okay, wait, just googled it... there are three endings. One where Micah is thrown at the camera and Katie kneels down to sniff his body, the one I just described above, and another where Katie walks up to the camera and slits her own throat. Creepy.

i think the ending we had was better out of the three

I enjoyed the movie. I wouldn't say it was bad. But I definitely was not scared at all. :P Lol

I guess it did nail the atmosphere quite right though.

I saw the movie last night. I did like it but I didn't find it scary at all.
I read descriptions of the alternative endings and they both sound much better than the theatrical version. SPOILERS They should have just have her throw Micah at the camera and sniff him which was suitably creepy. The demonic face-morphing and looking into the camera was cheesy and unnecessary, not to mention that it didn't fit with the tone of rest of the movie.

I saw this movie not too long ago. I didn't really think it was scary...just....disturbing. The only parts that really freaked me out were the sounds of foot steps. For some

reason that creeps me out.

Crisl · 23-11-09, 15:46

I saw it on Saturday!

It was good, but I wasn't really that scared in the cinema. The real fear came when I was at night home alone...

I think being alone will never be the same again for me

The footsteps creeped me out too, eeek

And I didn't know it had three different endings, I knew only about two. Gotta find the third one

I saw it a while ago and although the acting was a little hammy but I thought some of the scenes were very scary and the ending could have been a bit better (I saw the 2007 ending). but some of the scenes did cause me to lose some sleep!
