Paranormal Activity
The trailer definitely makes the movie out to be scarier than what it actually is, but for a low budget film it did make both of us jump! Katie and Micah are a young couple who are haunted by a supernatural presence in their home which has taken an interest in Katie. They decide to set up a camera in their room while they sleep in the hopes that they can capture any of the strange activities on film. We were not fans of the dragging from the bed and the loud heavy footsteps running up the stairs. Krizia in particular doesn't like the movie because after watching it she had her first experience with sleep paralysis which if you haven't experienced before is terrifying. There are three different endings to the film and there are now five follow ups to the movie (and plans to make more!) all of which didn't have to be made, but they each have their creepy moments and characters, special mention has to go to 'Toby' from Paranormal Activity 3.


The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of Sophie's favourite horror films, and was the first horror film she ever went and watched in the cinema (normally she would wait till she could watch it in the comforts of her home). It's a remake of Wes Craven's 1977 film. It focuses on the Carter family who are travelling to San Diego to celebrate Ethel and Bob's silver anniversary. It's smooth sailing till a gas attendant tells them of a quicker route (note to self never take an off beaten road in America) in which they then become targets of a mutant community living in the hills. We should note there is one scene in particular that people may find disturbing so watch with caution if you are easily offended. We have to give a special shout out to Ruby (ruby ruby ruby ahhhhhhhhhhhh) she's that mutant child you can't help but want to survive! There is a sequel which we feel isn't worth mentioning for the amount of flaws it has but it is still an enjoyable watch.
