Paranormal Entity

Alright, back to horror now. This time i'm gonna do a short review of a movie from 'The Asylum'. For those of you who don't know who they are, they are a studio who make direct to DVD b-movies for chains like Blockbuster (Here in Ireland we would find these movies in the bargain bin of some video stores). They usually are complete rip offs of major releases that would be in the cinema at the time, for example, Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, Pirates of Treasure Island, and so on and so on. Point is, there lame rip offs and don't really do a good job of hiding what movie they're ripping off, hense why they're called 'mockbusters' by people in the industry. There is the odd one that would have the same idea as its High grossing, a list counterpart, but have some degree of originality, and heres an example.

Paranormal Entity (in case you haven't copped it, its another take of Paranormal Activity, review of that is down below) tells the story of a family who have lost their father/husband in a tragic accident. The mother tries to communicate with him, and claims to get a response from him from beyond the grave, but after a series of strange occurrences in the house they start to think otherwise. The son, who's name is Thomas, starts to put camera around the house to document the occurrence's. Thats the basic plot, near enough the same scenario as Paranormal Activity, shot the same way, but does add a few new twists so if your looking for an alternative to Paranormal Activity, then this i would recommend, watch alone in your room in pitch blackness to get its full effect, its just as scary, if not more. In this one its the sister (Sam) and mother (Cindy) who are getting attacked by the demon, so its double the shocks.
