Paranormal activity and The Blair Witch project(1999) were two VERY low budget horror films that were able to become phenomenons. Both of these films became very popular, but to tell you the truth, I really don't see what's so great about both of them. Yeah, I get that they were low budget films, and they greatly exceeded expectations, especially when it came to making money.
I believe The Blair Witch Project was better than Paranormal Activity. At least The Blair Witch Project was more well written, and the suspense in this film did kind of keep you on edge. Also, the ending was very creepy.
I seriously don't understand why Paranormal Activity received so much hype and praise. I went into this movie with such high expectations, but I was very disappointed. Paranormal Activity had a solid premise, but It was poorly delivered. A good majority of this movie was boring, and things didn't really pick up until the very end.
So with all of that said, which film do you think is more overrated? The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity?
My pick is going to be Paranormal Activity. As I said earlier, this movie was boring, and the bedroom scenes were just not interesting at all after a while. I wasn't so harsh on this film when I first saw it in theaters, but after I recently watched it a second time, I realized it wasn't any where as near as good or great as critics and others made it out to be.
