I didn’t find the movie all to be what I thought it would be. The only thing that actually caused me to have nightmares was the ending where she attacked her boyfriend and then the camera. The rest of the movie started off boring but later picked up to include rather unreal and awesome scenes. I personally was laughing at how Micah was making this a more comic film then that of a horror film. Yes, it still sends chills down my spine for that last scene still plays in my mind every once in a while.

I knew it wasn’t real, but i couldn’t help believing that it was – i did the same thing with Blair Witch, and in both movies i screamed!

okay, so i saw PA this morning. I’m a 15 yr old girl, and really i thought it was terrible.
I finally get my dad to let me go watch a horror movie at the theatre, and it was so disappointing i actually think i shouldve gone to see zombieland and pay for laughter, not an hour and a half of being bored out of my brain and getting headaches from the other teens in the room. there was no problem with shaky camera, i heard about others thinking that was the worst, but really it didnt make that much of a difference to me. it was so cliche and average though! maybe they should’ve spent a bit more time thinking it through and making it cater to others’ tastes. ive seen some pretty terrible horror movies with my mum, usually when my father is away, (hehe) and really, this movie was less interesting than Bugbuster. and that really is one of the worst films you can ever see.
generally, the storyline was lame, the acting was terrible, it failed at being scary, was a waste of money and my time both in getting my dad to let me see it and in actually watching the movie. it didnt even have a soundtrack! well it wasnt meant to, i know that, but really. there wasnt anything worth seeing in it.
and the sound effects whenever something was going to happen, the vroom noises that would creschendo in the background. they reminded me of a plane taking off. it was extremely annoying and unnecessary. all in all, it was a terrible movie and i really wish i hadnt wasted my money in seeing it.

TBH i am a 15 year old girl and i watched both endings and i think that the copy 1 were she is sittin at the end of the bed just meks her seem like its not a demon she has just lost it but the theatrecal endin did mek me jump n scream but it dont fit in as well i thin goes over the top to much i think they should have done the throat ending that would have been perfect
Because think about it the demon wated katie so if it kills her boy friend the kills her it technalyy ha s won the battle so i think they should have shown that one but all together had it pro’s and cons but descent muvie good one to watch with some easiely scared friends could’nt stop laughin at them evry single time somthing went bang hilarious :’)
Oren peli has deirected this very good i think

I just went to watch this film and I can’t understand how anyone would think it’s scary. I have no problems with it lacking CGI but I was just really bored all the time. The only good thing I might say about this movie is that it was very entertaining to make fun of it. I can’t tell why but I didn’t think there was anything scary at all and I wasn’t spoiled whatsoever, I just went to watch it because of the “hype” around it being so scary etc. All in all I have to say, that this film was a fucking waste of money and time.

I’m surprised anyone could say this was scarey. Most of the time it was a real chore to sit and watch, waiting to hopefully come across a scarey moment only to be disappointed each time by the anticlimax. This film is way overhyped and I really wish I had not wasted my money to see it.

And kaz? You should’ve kept watching. It’s a slow burn film- not a Hollywood blockbuster.

I walked into PA with no real knowledge of the plot, or the film’s history.

I have never actually been scared of a horror film before. Let me repeat that: I have NEVER been frightened by a horror film. I have seen hundreds, and not one has managed to genuinely frighten me.

And yet PA managed to do something that no other horror film I’ve ever seen has ever done. Which is to make me feel shakey after it finished.

I think that the sitting-by-the-bed ending wasn’t nearly as good. I felt that it took away all the demonic/ghostly prescence and made Katie just seem like a random crazy who snapped.

PA was great. I’d recommend it to friend and foe alike.

well i didnt even watch the whole thing..maybe it got better as it went on but i was totally bored and couldnt take wasting my timeany longer after 10minutes, talk about dragging on, especially the first 5minutes.
