In the tradition of such low-budget horror flicks as 'The Blair Witch Project' comes 'Paranormal Activity,' a “documentary” made with just an $11,000 budget which attempts to capture the paranormal activity plaguing a couple in their house.
'Paranormal Activity' is touted as one of the scariest horror movies of all time, and a test screening saw hundreds of terrified audience members. After watching the previews, I was a little freaked out myself; this is one movie I won't be watching.
