Paranormal Activity

Before Paranormal Activity caused such a stir, Amanda Gusack directed the indie ghost story In Memorium, which is only now receiving its dues. Gusack more recently directed the higher-budget horror/thriller The Betrayed, which stars Melissa George and is available on DVD.

Gusack's haunting-caught-on-home-video film is one of our favorite examples of women directing awesome new horror movies, and we'd love to point out that if you like Paranormal Activity, you'll love In Memorium. On July 27, Dennis Wade was diagnosed with terminal cancer. On September 25th, he began to document his illness. On September 27th...the cameras recorded something else. Check out these three clips from In Memorium...

Written and directed by Oren Peli
Starring Demon Off Camera, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat

If you haven't seen Paranormal Activity by now, it can't possibly live up to its word of mouth and you're probably a more experienced genre-lover who is over 25. That being said, there's some good content of the Pretty/Scary nature that makes this 11k ultra-low-budget phenom a solid choice for your Halloween bucks.

As you've heard, because you're a smart horror-lover not born under a rock, the movie basically stars a girl, a boy, a camera, and an off-camera demon...
