Cmv: paranormal activity was a really boring movie. (possible spoilers):
I saw the movie and felt like I had just wasted a chunk of my life. The only two scenes that were interesting at all were the ouija board scene and the ending. The rest was just people sleeping with the occasional noise. I can appreciate a slow build (I loved The Blair Witch Project) but Paranormal Activity was just boring to me. I doubt my opinion will be changed, but I just want to know why anyone liked it. I understand completely that taste is subjective, but it is beyond me how anyone could think that film was entertaining or artistically noteworthy. Also, please do  not use the sequels to defend the quality of the first film. I want to understand why the first film was so acclaimed even before any sequels were released.
