    I think it’s worth a mention that “The Blair Witch Project” was the OG indie horror film that took America by storm. Paranormal Activity owes a lot of its success to the progenitor of found footage films.

      @snarkasticdouche3863 Před 7 měsíci +19

      Well, they both have a lot in common. Lots of boring crap, with a few lackluster scares.
      The only thing that makes "Blair Witch" kind of interesting is the MatPat theory that all the supernatural stuff was fake; and the two guys just plotted to murder the girl. And it's still not interesting enough to watch it again.

      What made Blair Witch so interesting and "Scary" was that it was something completely new for the horror genre, aka trying to make it an irl life event...In many ways it was an early version of what later came to be youtube paranormal videos.
      In the same way that Jackass is an early version of CZcams prank videos.
      I usually watch this film a little now and then because I love how the film conveys its story.
      But also because the film has a time capsule vibe.

      @@snarkasticdouche3863 No offense, but if that is the theory about BWP that you find interesting then its really not a shock that you didnt enjoy the film. There are other theories about there about the film (time warp) that are a little more interesting.
      What made it scary was the idea that you could enter an area in this world and not be able to escape due to an unseen entity controlling the woods. Its a feeling of helplessness that anyone watching the movie can relate to. And the acting from the 3 main players is better than anything in the PA universe.
      Also the advertising behind it is something that no movie will ever be able to accomplish again. Lots of people thought it was real footage when it was in theatres which added to the fright. Maybe that was silly to believe in hindsight, but its also 25 years ago.

      Know what also had some really memorable advertisements? Budweiser.
      Know what also leaves a vague stale urine taste in your mouth? BWP.
      Also, I saw that "Film Theory" about a year ago, so... No, it had nothing to do with my distaste for weak, pissy tasting beer; or bad acting, and shitty movies.
      Nothing was good about the acting in either movie. It was "naturalistic dialogue''; mostly ad-libs by completely unskilled, untested actors.
      Ad-libbing can work, when it's done by a professional with a lifetime of acting experience. When you try it with nobodies; it just comes off as corny, bad acting.
      Sure, the acting in BWP was better than PA. Just like it's better picking up after my dog when it's a solid log; and not a pile of diarrhea. @@NothingToPointOut24

    I remember my mother and two sisters went to watch Paranormal Activity 1 in theaters late one night, and had such a profound experience. They came home visibly shaken. I can only compare it to when The Exorcist came out and people were having fainting spells, and flocked to church.
    My mother and sisters were adamant that I not watch it. So of course I did when it came out on DVD, and found it just okay.
    However, when Paranormal Activity 2 came out I was dead set on having an experience like them, and went to go watch it opening weekend. Suffice it to say… it was alright. I didn’t get much out of it.

      I think the Child's Play series is pretty underrated, compared to the other slasher series. Chucky gets a lot of grief because "Killer dolls aren't scary or threatening. Just pick them up and smash them or whatever".
      But, I'm pretty sure most slasher fans don't find the movies scary anymore and are more interested in the personality of the movies. Which Chucky and its reoccurring characters bring a ton of personality. Even the straight to dvd movies have effort and creativity put into them.

Like meat said the other movies revolve around people in nice houses nice cars and you think yeah arrogant assholes die to spiritual stuff. But the marked ones had that grandma who didn’t f*ck with that stuff, so realistic I felt bad when anyone died in this movie I never felt like the ignorance of them was their down fall it just felt like they got screwed by circumstance.

      Seeing the first one in theaters was wild. Lots of people just straight up screaming punctuated by bursts of shocked laughter. It was definitely on the level of Blair Witch Project, the film that preceded it culturally less than a decade before.

    As a massive fan of the Child's Play franchise, I would love to see a video on your take of the franchise. A ranking of the existing films would be great, or even just a video talking about your experience with the movies. Any ongoing franchise with 35 years of films and history and drastic changes in tone and characterization lends itself well to this format I think, and even if you hate them, it'd be fun to hear how you rip on them.

    So happy to hear some love for "The Marked Ones". People were really shitting on it when it first came out, but I guess they were looking for something like the run-of-the-mill sequels. It was fun and entertaining. What more do you need? The time travel twist was so stupid but a funny surprise.

  • @TheRoblobster
    @TheRoblobster Před rokem +52

    I remember when I saw paranormal activity in theatres... It was my sophomore year in highschool and I had finally been invited to a birthday party with a group of the more popular kids from my grade. We all went to sushi before proceeding onwards to the movie theatre. We all bought our tickets, purchased some snacks from the concession shake down counter and went inside. We were sat in two rows, we numbered in the twenties. I am a tall mf so i sat in the further back row. The movie begins and everything is going just fine. The cute blonde that I had somewhat of a crush on was sitting directly in front of me, this is key. Remember the sushi? Well, the souls of the salmon and tuna fish had sought revenge on me for eating their mortal coils. The movie was in a tense moment of building dissonant sound while nothing happened on screen. I felt the jumpscare coming just as I felt the a large movement in my gut. The music climaxed - I attempted to use the anticipated jumpscare audio hit to mask the sound of the fart. But there was no jumpscare. Just silence. Silence except for my ass. Which was the only sound in the theatre. Everyone around me turned and stared at me. Laughs and chuckles were heard from all direction within the theatre. The girl I had a crush on turned around when she heard my thunder from down under just soon enough to catch the miasma wave of death to the face. The transformation and contortion of her face in the moment haunted me for the remainder of my highschool experience. I look back on it now and laugh, but I can't think of paranormal activity without thinking of that.

It’s been done for sure but those dudes were incredible. Not the scariest movie but having an actual likeable character get possessed is new. Usually it’s just a little girl that you don’t really know anything about. My favorite of the PA franchise, glad to see it get some love and high ranking🤘🏼

    I'd really recommend the Rec series. It's another found footage series about zombies but it goes places lol. It's a wild ride. The first movie is one of my favorites and it ended up having a few English spinoffs called "Quarantine". Those went a differention than Rec but both are at least fun.
    The first Rec movie is easily one of my favorite horror movies. I feel it does like... 90% of things right. Simple setting. Relatively grounded premise. Good pacing. Has an air of mystery (as long as the characters are ignorant to what's going on, so are you), and it does do much with basically four rooms.
    The other movies aren't as good but they are still pretty fun watches. That first one though is an absolute gem. The originals aren't in English but the remakes are. The first Quarantine and first Rec are nearly the same though.

And its ending is like the best one, hands down.

    The thing that works so well about the first movie is just the dread that comes from this scenario.

    Back when I saw the third movie I found myself thinking how they could make an interesting fourth movie without just repeating the same formula. My idea was that they should go back to the dead couple at the end of #2 and show the perspective of the police investigating the murders from their body cams and dash cams and stuff, and as they investigate strange shit happens. That seemed like it would be a fun switch up of the formula. Obviously never happened.

    I love low rent horror films like the first Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch. Because when budgets are this thin magic happens.

You only get that when your budget would Hanna Barbera go “How?”

    I remember when Paranormal Activity 1 came out while I was in high school. We had a theatre in town that was selected as one of the limited-release venues before it blew up. A big group from my class went to it and it was honestly an experience you had to witness in that moment. In hindsight, the movie loses a lot upon extra viewings at home or even upon thinking about how cheesy it was.

    What got me with the Blair Witch Project was how they interviewed people in the town who shared "genuine" stories about the Blair Witch. There was the one lady who described her as covered in fur and floating above the ground and just her description and how convincing she was that she had actually seen what she was describing had me scared more the entire movie than anything else. I couldn't sleep because all I could see was that lady's description in my mind.
