Paranormal Activity (2007) – Reviving the Found Footage Horror Phenomenon
Oren Peli’s “Paranormal Activity,” released in 2007, revitalized the ‘found footage’ genre with a demonic intensity. Its low-budget, do-it-yourself format lends an unsettling authenticity to the story of domestic haunting. It seamlessly blends casual home video footage with extended scenes of the characters sleeping in their beds, creating an eerie sense of realism.
What sets “Paranormal Activity” apart is its ability to make stillness and silence feel oppressively heavy as viewers anxiously scan the screen for any hint of the supernatural. Its terrifying impact was so profound that it led to the creation of six sequels!
