Paranormal Activity Fake

The age-old debate on – Are Ghosts For Real?

There is something true in “Paranormal Activity”.

The horror film “Paranormal Activity” is realistic in some ways. But the film is very typical of “real” hauntings, in which the ghosts never do anything paranormal or indescribable.

Paranormal Activity is a 2007 American supernatural horror film produced, written, directed, photographed and edited by Oren Peli.

 It centres on a young couple Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat who are haunted by a supernatural presence in their home.

They then set up a camera to document what is haunting them.

The film utilizes found- footage conventions that were mirrored in the later films of the series.

Paranormal Activity was one of the “Top Ten Haunted House Movies” in a 2018 IGN list, reasoning its mix of a slow build plus the found footage technique led to an effective psychological ruse on the viewer.

The horror movie franchise is just the latest in a long history of movies using so-called “recovered” films.

Whether it is true or fake is up to the audience, but this movie gives a real hunting story.
