There is a belief that circulates around people that nothing could scare us any more. We have seen so many frightening things on TV, in real life, in the films, so now there is no thing that could surprise us and make feel shudders. In accord to this belief, scary games are not frightening enough; horror films are more comical than outrageous or horrifying, we are prepared by now for the things that could conceivably be seen on TV, our threshold stimulus is much lower then it used to be… Maybe it is like that but the information that the second part of the movie Paranormal Activity earned $63 million in three days, from the first day of its appearance, tells us that there are yet some things that could make us frightened or the director of this movie has made something unseen and untold before so he got all the benefits. This movie is showing in only few countries outside of North America, - the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico and Russia, and it will be released in over 30 countries in the next two weeks. Paranormal Activity 2 has the best ranking first public appearance for a horror film, taking away the authority from last year's Friday the 13th.
The first part of this starless movie appeared last year. The independent movie was shot with budget smaller than $15,000 but earned about $108 million at the U.S. box office and $194 million around the world and soon Paramount pictures buy it for dealing from its independent producers.
Paranormal Activity is about young pair haunted by a supernatural appearance in their house. Maybe isn’t something new but the captivating thing is that the movie is made in the style of "found footage" - way of making film in which the whole movie or a part of it is presented as an rewrite of recovered footage, often left behind by protagonists that are death or missing. Katie and Micah set up a camera, trying to take a picture on what is haunting them, and the movie is made as a documentary - style thriller. All the intimidating elements of the previous part are also in the second part but now the victims are members of the extended family – Katie's sister and her baby are being threatened by the “unseen”. The sisters keep in mind the visits of a spirit from their childhood but Kristi's husband could not believe anything about that… In the second part the number of gadgets used to detect the wonder is even bigger.
Critics analyze that the achievement is due to the fact that these films are being scary and creepy but they draw attention to people that usually don’t watch horrors. They don’t give drastically cruel scenes;” the monster success provided an antidote, a taste of something designed to spook without assault.”
