Paranormal Craziness; America Loves to Be ScaredFor my weekly written analysis, I have chosen to tell you all about a movie. The movie is, Paranormal Activity. This movie by Oren Peli is about a young couple that is being haunted by a demon. It has gotten great reviews and everyone in America is demanding it to be show in their city’s or towns. Why is this happen? Is it that Americans love to be scared? Or is there a belief in something that one can not see? I believe this represents popular culture. People like being scared and this low budget movie is an icon in its own right. It has grossed way over a million dollars in a short time. Robert Ebert as cited in Paramount (2009) called it a “an ingenious horror film. It’s so well made it’s truly scary.” This is why it is so popular to the public.
I have chosen this because I wanted to show how Paranormal Actively. It is a truly popular culture and this shows why America or anyone in general can want to see this low budget movie. They are willing to for over the $10.00 dollars to see it. I will be seeing it soon and I believe in Paranormal Activity will be put up there with other hot scary Halloween movies. Generations of people, will be enjoying this for a long, long time to come.
