Paranormal Activity alternate ending
Oct. 25th, 2009 08:45 pmThis is how the movie ended in 2007 before Spielberg changed the ending. Personally, I'm glad he did. The movie's effectiveness relies heavily on the tension that's release in the last thirty seconds of the film, and this ending doesn't do it for me.
It you haven't seen the movie yet, go. First, lower your expectations a bit and then go late at night. Obviously, it's been over-hyped, and now the backlash for the hyping has already begun. No, it's not the scariest movie ever made, but it made me squirm more than any movie I've ever seen in theaters. And the best part? It does this with almost no jump scenes. There are no cheap scares here; this film takes its time and then it slaps you for not getting out while you still could. It truly is genius filmmaking in a way that Blair Witch never was.
