Who else thought Paranormal Activity sucked?
It just wasn't worth spending almost $10 on. I would have liked watching it on DVD, but it was supposed to be a take on "realistic evidence" and it was so apparently fake. People are screaming over a door slamming or a bed sheet moving? For a movie that had a budget of less than $20k, I have to admit they did a pretty good job getting hype up, but they used way too much cinematography and in the end, it looked too much like a movie to believe it was real. I couldn't connect to the characters. The man was a completely insensitive jerk; clearly knowing the danger his girlfriend was in and mocking her in spite of evidence he saw. The girl had no personality and they didn't bring the friend or the psychic in enough to develop them and therefore I felt they were unnecessary to the movie. The movie did drag a bit, but Quarantine dragged just as much and the climax was killer. In spite of it being a zombie movie, it made the audience believe it was real (in spite of the amount of gore and special effects) and did its job unlike this movie, which failed to deliver. To the person suggesting you're under 20 and have never seen a movie without gore in it, I am 28 and have seen thousands of horror movies. It's my favorite genre. I've seen movies that are EXTREMELY scary that have absolutely no gore in them or monsters or anything. And as for low-budget films, the original Night Of The Living Dead is so much more scarier than this movie could ever hope to be. People that were scared by this are giving in to THE MEDIA, which hyped this movie up and had a low budget so it could make money. The only scary thing about this movie is how many idiots I heard walking out of the movie theatre thinking it was real.

What are 3 historical accuracies in the movie "Passchendaele" by Paul Gross?
To me one of the most authentic historical accuracies about the movie was the MUD! It was God awful stuff for real, as was portrayed in the movie. Passchendaele has become synonymous with the misery of grinding attrition warfare fought in thick mud. Most of the battle took place on reclaimed marshland, swampy even without rain. The summer of 1917 was unusually cold and wet, and heavy artillery bombardment destroyed the surface of the land. Though there were dry periods, mud was nevertheless a constant feature of the landscape; newly-developed tanks bogged down in mud, and soldiers often drowned in it.
Which film was most profitable, relative to its budget?
Yeah, Blair Witch Project followed by Paranormal Activity.BWP did over $140 million, PA did about $110 million.A stipulation to consider is whether the budget figures are accurate. Often, only the production budget is taken into consideration, not post-production and marketing. It would be hard to figure out the actual costs. I've heard that BWP came close to a few hundred thousand dollars after Artisan picked it up. I have no figures on PA, so if its marketing and post-production numbers were smaller, I'd say it would probably be the most profitable film for its budget.
The most scariest horror movie ever?
The Thing (1982) Memorable quote: “Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be. ” Scare factor: What makes this the top fright fest? Could it be the fear of complete isolation in the face of disaster? Or the invisible enemy in sub-zero temperatures? How about the terrifying feeling of not knowing which of your supposed friends and colleagues are who they say they are, and not a shape-shifting alien? Yeah, all those things.
Why do people make horror movies?
One reason that people make horror movies is that it's a genre that's most likely to make small-scale investors a lot of money. Horror fans are loyal to the genre, much less to any particular actor or director who works in the genre. In addition, most horror movies do not require shelling out salaries for big stars, because the true "star" of the film is whatever monster (whether it's a natural creature or a human killer) the film centers on. For example, the 2005 film House of Wax hired Paris Hilton for a bit of "stunt casting," but they could keep their costs down by killing off her character very early in the movie.If you're still not convinced, take a look at the chart for Most Profitable Movies, Based on Return on Investment at www.the-numbers.com.
