      This isn't true by any stretch of the imagination, sorry. It's not even in the top 20, lol. Avatar (2009) is the most profitable film of all time. It had a budget of just under $300m, but brought in just shy of $3B worldwide... so its profits were 2.7 billion, with a B. Even with this movie making $200m, it's nowhere near the top 20 let alone #1.

      The sound design was fantastic in this film. You could feel the base building as the activity would be approaching. Surround sound is a must in this movie. And they condition you to relax during the day until things start happening in the day time. They eliminate your safe haven as the film starts to wrap things up.

    The reason this first film worked so well is because it didn't show you the "creature". Nothing is more powerful or scary than what can be summoned by your own imagination. And this film used that masterfully. It gave you just enough to let your imagination run wild. The slow build up and rising tension did the rest.

    If I had to pick just one movie that freaked me out, unnerved me, and left me feeling unsure... it's this one. The effects are simple, but extremely well executed. No score just makes it scarier, as if it's truly "found footage." I don't believe in any of this stuff (ghosts, demons, possession, hell, etc.) as I'm an atheist, but that being said, the movie STILL freaks me out. Well done.

    Refuse to believe it all you want amigos, it only takes one interaction for you to NEVER question it again. Most of the time these things happen because somebody messed with the supernatural, and their own ignorant understanding of the situation just exacerbated things further. It would be lovely to think demons and monsters don’t exist, but the fortunate reality is that they absolutely do exist. Makes for a more entertaining reality if you ask me.

    The best found footage is The Blair Witch Project which inspired this movie but, Tara won't be able to handle it if this type of shaky cam makes her sick.

    17:25 I've had a similar thing happen to me with a plant once. I had a friend and her boyfriend over to my house once and she mentioned that she had a spirit or something that followed her around. While they were at my place, a plant of mine moved like that. There wasn't any air flow in the house, no earthquakes, nobody moving around, nobody else was home, nothing. Yet the plants leaves moves on its own. They never came over again after that.

    the thing is: you guys don't get the absolute terror I felt when they pretended it was a true story, and that the demon was still out there running around free. lol that was how it was promoted, and I couldn't sleep that whole night or watch any horror films for a few years afterwards because of it.
    after i started seeing sequels etc, I realizd it was just a gimmick but they still got me xD

    I'd been on a couple ghost hunts by the time this movie came out and I remember being soooo impressed with how the first few unexplainable moments were super subtle and/or debunked, because that's what it's actually like. 😊

    Ginger, Dramamine, and sniffing rubbing alcohol will help with nausea! I have such terrible motion sickness I rely on a Scopolamine patch behind my ear every day- there are lots of tricks that can help. For shaky cam movies, I highly recommend Dramamine about 30 minutes before you hit play, and keep some Ginger Ale, Sprite, and/or rubbing alcohol nearby for bad waves. The second movie has a bit of shaky/handheld cam stuff, but it's a lot more mounted cameras so hopefully it's not as terrible (it's also my favorite).

    Fun Fact: Oren Peli(director of this film) also directed, Área 51 another found footage horror movie which i recommend. Regarding this film the scariest part for me i'm my opinion wasn't the ending, but the foot steps scene. I remember myself watching it with my cousin and in the foot steps scene i was like "oh my God what the hell is that" 😮.

  • @JonathanStein-kr6qd

    There's actually a couple of alternate endings to this. In one, the demon makes Katie slit her throat instead of lunge at the camera, and in the other the police show up in the morning and shoot Katie when the demon makes a noise that startles them.

    Fun Fact : Steven Spielberg attended a test screening of this movie and was so scared by the movie that he couldn't watch it in one sitting. His positive word of mouth is what convinced Paramount Pictures to acquire the rights. Spielberg also suggested a different ending which is what we got right now instead of the director's original ending which was two policemen shot Katie to death after she tried to stab them with a knife

    Tara & me both have the same "oh good, they're putting it back on the stand" reaction to shaky-cam apparently. She might want to try anti-motion sickness medication if someone tells her ahead of time it's going to be a shaky-cam movie, that's what I use.

    Appreciate Tara sticking with this, given the headache and shaky cam, but both of your reactions were great fun to watch! It freaked me out when I saw it because it played into my worst fears (especially the heavy footsteps), and I will never not jump at that ending! I also think the actors did a far more believable job than most have done in similar films! This was fun, guys!

  • @QuantumS1ngularity
    @QuantumS1ngularity 24 дні тому

    This is BY FAR my favorite horror movie and franchise as well. These movies are the only ones that truly make my skin crawl. I cannot watch any of them alone in the dark. Absolutely impossible. Grew up with films like The Thing, Alien, The Fly, The Exorcist and other classic horrors... none of them even remotely phased me from the age of 9 or 10 and above. Paranormal Activity is just the benchmark of how to build tension and anxiety. Even now when i watch your reaction guys, i have the goosebumps all over and i feel tensed up and constantly looking around, thinking something is lurking behind me. Despite knowing this movie by heart after watching it more tha 100 times, it still chills my blood right down. For me personally there is something primal and absolutely terrifying about the paranormal stuff.
    As for how good the actors were and the editing was - in an interview, both the actors shared that when the film came out, their relatives and friends kept ringing and checking on them, because they were that believable.
    Finally, amazing reaction video.

    I've never understood why some people get sick from first person motion on a screen, be it movies or video games. I can understand the handycam style being annoying in some cases because it can make it difficult to follow what's happening, but the sickness? It's still just motion on a screen. Might have to look into the biology of why that happens.
    Also, dude that played Micha (also named Micha) should have won an Oscar. He is one of the most genuinely dislikable characters in film history. And you just KNOW that there are tons of guys out there that are exactly like him.
