What I saw was paranormal activities. The overall theme of this movie was simply haunting and disturbing. Camera movement of the film was taken from an amateur as the frame appears to be jerky. This gave the film a documentary type feels much like The Blair Witch Project. The amateur camera movement gave it a realistic look as it was actually happening. The audience gets a sense of terror from the creepy noises that lurks into the home of Micah and Katie while they sleep at night. Handheld movement does not remain consistence as we see tripod is used to stabilize the frame in the bedroom. A sense of depth is added through the open door in the repetitive bedroom scene. The empty hallway As our eyes tend to wander around from the couple, time code, and the open door to see what activities are going around in the bedroom. What I find quite interesting is the used of time code on the film. The director’s use of time code gave audience real time terror that unfolds in the film as the characters in the movie are sleeping at night. What made the movie truly disturbing was the open door. An open door is a sign of invitation as it remain constant throughout the film. Combine with a low light setting it creates an element that induces fear. The feel of the movie was quite authentic as we see a door closing on it own give as a startling feeling; Simple yet powerful enough to keep us in fear.
"Fear is constantly hidden"
