movie review - Paranormal Activity

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.09.30

I'm not usually a fan of horror, but this is a very well done piece with lots of "home video footage" that shows a couple slowly being tormented by a possession. It seems to have been following the female half of the couple, but once they set up in this home they set up the cameras to capture what's happening.

I liked the tension, the inexplicable events, the frustrating responses of the husband .. I enjoyed it. Recommended.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.
