My Paranormal Activity Story – It’s Out On DVD/Blu Ray Today
Mar 22nd
I attended the Paranormal Activity press screening a week or so before Paranormal Activity hit cinemas in the UK, I had heard all the hype from America, watched the clips and trailers and to be really honest I wasn’t massively impressed, I thought it looked ok at best. But let me tell me, when I watched it, I loved it! I’ve never seen so many people go for ‘toilet breaks’ in a press screening. Also generally the press are a miserable lot, most male film journalists looks like slightly overweight, hairier and uglier members of Kings Of Leon (most of the women look pretty normal 
). In a press screening you don’t hear many gasps, laughs, screams or any other sound you’d usually hear in a cinema, there’s usually silence the whole way through, but with Paranormal Activity there were gasps galore, the Lady next to me was sh*tting herself (made me lol). All in the moral of the story is that Paranormal Activity was really good and it made the press scared. Paranormal Activity, is released on DVD and Blu-ray TODAY (Monday 22nd March).
Now you can experience the phenomenon that is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY in the comfort and safety of your own home! This is the story of Katie and Micah, a carefree couple who become haunted by an unseen presence in their house. They decide to investigate the increasingly bizarre and escalating intrusions by setting up a video camera to capture evidence of the demonic presence in their house, only to find much more than they ever imagined.
Described by Harry Knowles from AIN’T IT COOL NEWS as “one of the scariest at-home viewing experiences ever!”

Paranormal Activity Director & Writers Next Film – Area 51
Nov 30th
Paramount Pictures has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Area 51, director and writer Oren Peli’s follow-up to the low budget hugely successful indie Paranormal Activity, which has become the most profitable independent film ever made.
I really enjoyed Paranormal Activity, it didn’t scare me particularly, probably due to me being desensitized by watching so many horror films, yet at the press screening everyone else seemed to be sh*tting themselves, there were loads of gasps and I had noticed there was a record number of people going to the toilet, the woman sitting next to me screamed at the last scene, Hollywood damsel in distress style, I was embarrassed for her.
Oren Peli filmed Area 51 last month in Utah with three virtually unknown actors - Reid Warner, Darrin Bragg and Ben Rovner. The film was shot for just under $5 million. Area 51 which has been described as a “claustrophobic terror”, centers around “three teenagers whose curiosity leads them to the legendary and mysterious Area 51 Air Force base deep in the Nevada desert.”
Area 51 is due for release in 2010
