Paranormal Activity the next Blair Witch

Made for under £10,000 no one expected film Paranormal Activity to be a big hit.

But first time director Oren Peli's horror movie has already brought in tens of millions of dollars in the USA, now it is expected to do the same in the UK.

Similar to the Blair Witch Project, it is gritty and made to look like it has been shot with a handheld camera. It scares viewers by making them think they are close to the action.

Rather than spending money on big effects, in place of blood and gore is mystery and suspence, accomplished with low budget tricks like eerie sounds.

The thriller is out in the UK now.
