Day 88 and I watched Paranormal Entity. On title alone go ahead and take a stab at what this movie is about. Even just looking at the box you can tell this is a "me too" movie. A shameless rip of Paranormal Activity. The titles even rhyme. It has almost an identical setup to the other Paranormal movie, there's a small family living in a nice house and an unknown presence is causing disturbances. At first the actors in this movie are just slightly unbelievable which can't happen in a movie like this, taken from the perspective of the characters. After a while they either catch their rhythm or I stopped caring. This isn't quite as scary as PA, but still manages to deliver some tense scenes. Although there are some scenes that are almost direct copies of scenes from Activity. They have activity in an attic, there's dusty footprints, the entity is interested in a girl, etc. Although this gets about a F- in the originality department, I really enjoy movies like this, shot in first person. So even though it's hard to respect and give this movie any sort of credit, I couldn't help but find some enjoyment in here.
