Paranormal Activity vs. The Blair Witch Project

Dyan Zarzuela | Published: Nov 6, 2009 - 3:17pm

4. Shaky Truth

The Blair Witch Project – The cheap handheld camera in the hands of the actors gave viewers the creeps–and dizzy spells.

Paranormal Activity – Though handheld, the camera used was high definition and perched on a tripod in some scenes.


5. Aftertaste

The Blair Witch Project – "Is it real?" was one of the most common first reactions back in '99–that's if viewers hadn't seen the TV and print appearances of the actors, who were clearly still alive.

Paranormal Activity – Though you won't be left wondering if it's real, you're still likely to lose some sleep and become just a little bit paranoid about every bump and creak you hear in the middle of the night.

    READ: SPOT.ph pits the two blockbuster mockumentary horror movies against each other. Again, MOCKumentary as opposed to DOCUMENTary.

    Anyhoo, both movies were very effective in banking on the human nature. Curiosity. On that note the more effective one is Blairwitch. There was no monster involved. The trio were off hunting the witch or whatever it was but ended up on the floor. Except for Mike who was shown standing before the other guy fell on the floor. P.A. on the other hand went for the "to see is to believe" peeps. I think Micah is hot. hahaha... and Katie is pretty. And that they ahve a nice "starter" home.

    Question: P.A. has a director and writer... but this was supposed to be a personal vid of the "couple", you still think it's true?

    I kinda liked the ending tho...it would be better if Katie died and Mica went...cockoo.

  • innah Dec 31 2009 @ 03:56pm Report Abuse
    i haven't seen blair witch project yet. Pero maganda yung paranormal activity kasi alam mong actual na nangyari yun. Hindi katulad nung ibang movie na gawa-gawa. Tsaka syempre mejo boring yung dating, buhay nila yun e. kung buhay mo ba naman ivideo mo, alangan namang bawat oras exciting.

    for all those who say its ANNOYING, BORING, NOT GOOD or SAYANG LANG PERA N'YO..."DON'T FOCUS SO MUCH ON THE CONTENT OF THE FOOTAGE BUT BE AMAZED WITH THE CONTEXT OF IT." LEARN TO SEEK ON WHAT THE MOVIE TELLS YOU, AND NOT WHAT YOU COULD SAY ABOUT THE FOOTAGE...REMEMBER, THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS MOVIE ARE REAL ORDINARY PERSONS LIKE US, SO GET A LITTLE BIT OF SYMPATHY AND EMPATHY AS WELL...GOOD DAY PINOYS!

All pipol that didn't like the Paranormal activity, I hope that you guys experience what Micah and Kathy experienced. For you will know what they felt that time.

    Try to watch this at home before midnight alone. Not with your BF or GF. Then tell me if it doesn't scare the hell out of you.
  • gerber Dec 04 2009 @ 10:18am Report Abuse
    The movie is f*cking good! Lalo na kung mag-isa mo lang sya papanoodin around 3:00am, tapos syempre dapat patay lahat nang ilaw sa bahay.... hell yeah!

    I JUST THINK THE MOVIE IS GREAT.. i LIKE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. IT MADE ME SCREAM, OUT LOUD.
    ITS NORMAL THAT OTHERS WONT LIKE IT. U KNOW DIFFERENT PPOL HAVE DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS.
  • Sherwin Nov 30 2009 @ 09:00pm Report Abuse
    Pareho nakakagulat-nakakatakot kasi horror pareho. Pero masseryoso ang blair witch, paranormal kc mayngiti pa dahil sa fast forward scenes, pero ok lang at least maiba naman.
  • vynetuazon Nov 30 2009 @ 03:16am Report Abuse
    Paranormal activity sucked bigtime!...title palang st*p*d nah...
  • gummy yummy Nov 30 2009 @ 01:52am Report Abuse
    points that gave this movie away:
    1. some recorded scenes have time others dont.
    2. the time looks fabricated as it has the same white font as the counting of days(nights)
    3. movement of ouigi board is so computer generated.
    4. the cuts! for example the powder scene,...
    5. and of course, having 2 versions for an ending!
  • kevin Nov 28 2009 @ 06:41pm Report Abuse
    it's insanely awesome !! movies aren't always about the set or the effects .. do you think if it's edited it will look real .. and besides it's the real footage itself .. guys "LOOSERS can't be CHOOSERS" ok ?? :D>:) kahit na "EVERYONE's A CRITIC"

  • jitru Nov 24 2009 @ 09:07am Report Abuse
    others may not appreciate it coz they doesnt have the ART of watching,whatever the movie is even though its drama or comedy
  • Lee Nov 23 2009 @ 06:04pm Report Abuse
    Napanood ko na yung blair witch project movie... Its not a horror movie... Suspense movie lang ito.
    Kaya siya suspense kasi you dont know what will happen next. The dread and feeling that something or someone is going after the character/s in the movie and the character/s in the movie cant escape from that something or someone, builds up tension talaga to the point na you want to know who does what and why... yun lang nga, bitin yung ending nung blair witch kasi namatay lang sila lahat. End na. hehehe.
