One of the highest grossing films of the season is Paranormal Activity, with only 11 thousand dollars of investment is raising millions of dollars in its first weeks. The success lies in the apparent realism of the film captured by a video camera that records the reactions of a terrified couple living in a haunted house.
The story is quite simple, a couple decides to spend a night in a home to check but when night falls, the doors open and close without reason, objects moving and strange sounds to frighten the young couple.
The strange phenomena are told by Katie, while her boyfriend Micah, is obsessed with seeking a rational answer to the question, so buying a video camera which records at night which is what happens while they sleep.
This formula is not new and already practiced in other films known as The Blair Witch Project quickly aroused interest among fans of the horror genre, following this path it appears that the realism or the appearance of realism remains the more attractive to the consuming public tape terror.
