What happens when you sleep?
It’s a rare occurrence that I find it hard to open my eyes in the theatre. I’m a self-proclaimed movie buff. It should be in my ability to embrace all movies right? I’m afraid not this time.
You should know what I’m talking about. No, it’s not Darah (that made my eyes roll though). Yes, it’s Paranormal Activity-the most anticipated horror flick of 2009. This Blair Witch inspired movie brings us closer to the protagonists, Micah and Katie, who unfortunately had a brush with some evil entity. Convinced that she was being harassed by a demon, Micah, her loving but sometimes insensitive (aren’t we all?) boyfriend, bought a video camera to record what happened while they were sleeping. Results aren’t satisfying, to say the least.
The tension plays an integral part in this highly profitable movie. Once night falls, all hell breaks loose and the suspense is unbearable; is the door going to slam? What the hell is that? Throughout the show, you will feel that you are right there in the room, beside Katie, experiencing the terror. After 86 minutes, I’m thinking which will be worse; the ability to see ‘it’ or just getting freaked out by the invisible. All I can say is that the power of our imagination is not to be trifled with.
What happens when you sleep? You wouldn’t want to know.
