A new movie release, particularly around Halloween, is an event! On Sunday, I attended a matinee of "Paranormal Activity" at NorthPark AMC. This is not a slasher or monster flick. The filmmakers rely on the audience's anticipation of what will happen when the lights go out. If you dig spectacular special effects, this might not be a film for you. It's organic. Imagine an extended, homemade YouTube video (the one with the maze where Linda Blair pops out) or the "Blair Witch Project." It was worth the price of a matinee admission, if only to watch the audience's reactions. Although I didn't find it particularly scary at the time, I must admit I was slightly spooked at bedtime!
