276. Hell Fest. Low budget horror, on the big screen, I love it! So this one involves a horror theme park, teenagers, and a masked killer, perfection! So, yep it follows a group of teens to this years Hell Fest, and they are targeted by a masked killer, the tough part about it is, going up to the security at a horror theme park, and telling them that a masked man is scaring them. So this killer's M.O. seems to target people who aren't scared of the attractions offered by the park, so he kindly gives them a scare to remember for the rest of their short lives. The main actress who has the pleasure of being stalked, Amy Forsyth, I swear is the doppelganger of, Christina Robinson, Astor of Dexter fame. You be the judge! So yea, a blood bath in an amusement park, during the Halloween season, go see it, its a fun flick. The Candyman, Tony Todd even makes an appearance! And I loved the ending scene so, so much...

From the start, the movie does have a different feel to the first movie. It's brightly lit and doesn't have that eerie look that the first movie did, but do prepare for the first jump scare literally minutes into the movie.
Anyway after a traumatic event at their home, a family decide to rent a house in a new location. During a walk in the woods, their now mute son Jude finds a doll buried in the woods and decides to keep it. The family clean it up and go to bed, it is soon obvious that something is inhabiting the doll as we see it's eyes and head move, and Jude appears to be communicating with the doll, which if you've seen the first movie literally makes no sense. The mum eventually realises there's something odd about the doll, but is it too late?
Despite the I continuity from the first movie and the so many plot holes, I did enjoy it but I hope there's a 3rd movie to explain the connection between both movies.

It's easy to see, even in hindsight, why Paranormal Activity created such a buzz upon release. It's commitment to the whole "true story" aspect is admirable, even if it feels overly gimmicky, and it's minimilast approach and low budget ensure that it has an atmosphere of realism, whilst providing a few decent scares along the way.
The acting is certainly questionable. I get that the filmmakers were going for a realistic couple with Katie and Micah, but the dialogue definitely comes across as improvised in an amateur kind of way. I can't imagine any couple talking like that in real life, and it's a bit jarring.
The narrative ramps up nicely and certainly ends with a bang, but the vast majority is a little too uneventful considering we spend all of it with two unlikable characters.
For what it is though, PA does what it's sets out to do. It's unnerving horror that appeals to everyone and anyone looking for a fun kind of scare, nothing more, nothing less.
