emerged 10 years ago when "The Blair Witch Project" (1999), the film world was thoughtful moments of power that can have a home video. The marketing then was administered to all appearances that the material was real and what is shown on screen actually happened to a group youth. At the same time, reached the Chilean screens "Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County" (1998), which is also in love with facts to draw the attention of the audience loving the unknown. However, the frightened crowd did react initially realizing the whole assembly made by the creators of fiction, taking the tapes as mere moments of fun in the same way as it predisposes one to witness a thriller or horror.

When so much water has passed under the bridge, home videos and appear to be children and do not propose anything new to the public. Perhaps due to technological advances and accessibility a home camera, this type of film is closer to a college job to a professional format. "Paranormal Activity" is a work that does not deliver anything and it only works for very short time, delaying a final check obvious that more land to the grave of this format obsolete, outdated and full of boredom.

actors, absolutely unknown to give reality to the argument, play a noble role in line with American stupidity without falling into subtleties and demonstrating authentic bit exaggerated and can become. However, at this stage, is a matter of achieving social sciences to discover why this film has done so well in his circuit commercial, profit making stratospheric compared to the amount invested in the film. No doubt this fact has led to the movies more than any character - where I include myself - but there must be another component that activates the mind of the public to "enjoy" this format works, on one hand lack of a language novel, which in turn are so little generous with audiovisual input.

Similarities "Paranormal Activity" with the Chilean film "La Nana" - next Sunday competing for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film - are more about implementation. Both films were developed almost entirely in the director's house, with a digital low budget and actors without media presence. However, the difference between the two works is that the U.S. has only one purpose: to scare the viewer, but instead the Chilean has a strong argument, structured around actors capable of performing roles credible and a very different purpose: to motivate viewer for reasoning about the advisory role that indoor household. That's the difference between a great movie and a mediocre deliver a message which the public can partake.

But if anyone liked this movie, you can wait until 2012 because at that time will release the second part of this saga as stated in October past. Although they may not reach ... remember that this year the world ends.


Rating: 2 / 7
