Halloween has its origins 2500 years ago with the Celtics (basic Ireland), who believed that on this day, the last day of the year, dead spirits would rise and walk the Earth. To ward off these spirits, they would decorate their houses with bones and other scary items.
Ofcourse now it is celebrated differently, with horror movies being one of the main features.
So today of all days, I watched a horror movie on Halloween. How original right?
The one I saw was Paranormal Activity. It's been making waves in the US, primarily because it was a low budget film shot for $15000 and the director Oren Peli is a novice who has made a really great film.
It is a good film. The camera movements give you a headache though sometimes. I noticed this about me in Rachel Getting Married as well, where I vomitted after the film got over.
The ending in the DVD version is the one I saw, not the Spielberg ending. I liked it. It leaves you a little scared. The way she just keeps rocking is very eerie.
