There!
Directed by Oren Peli, “Paranormal Activity” released on October 2009. This is a must-watch for those who like horror movies.
Katie (Katie Featherston) believes that she has been haunted by some ghostly thing since her youth and “it” is in their home. So Micah (Micah Sloat) buys a video camera to capture the ghost activity….umm….I feel this is enough to tell about this movie. I don’t want to go elaborately and break the suspense. So watch it!
How Steven Spielberg got connected to this movie?
(Thanks: Wikipedia)
In 2008, the DVD of this movie ended up at DreamWorks and was viewed by Production Executive Ashley Brooks. Brooks was so impressed by the movie that she "pestered" her boss, Production Chief Adam Goodman, every day to see the film until he eventually saw it. Goodman, in turn, brought it to his boss, Studio Chief Stacey Snider. They were impressed by the film as well and handed the DVD to Steven Spielberg, who took it home to watch.

Spielberg allegedly returned to DreamWorks the next day with the DVD in a "garbage bag" because he thought the DVD was "haunted". According to Spielberg, minutes after he viewed the film, his bedroom doors "locked by themselves" and he could not get out without calling in a locksmith. Despite this, Spielberg loved the movie and helped to greenlight a remake to be produced by Jason Blum and directed by Oren Peli again. Paramount acquired the domestic rights to the film, and international rights to potential sequels, for $300,000!
Man, you saw the movie? This is one of my must see movies in theater. Hope it was good.
