Trailer for "Paranormal Activity"
Plot: After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban “starter” house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.
People are saying it is the scariest movie of the year and that it is intense and terrifying. -
