Paranormal Activity 2 Paranormal Activity is a horror movie posed as a documentary. Now‚ documentaries can be very interesting and educational. However‚ this fake documentary is a disgrace to the horror genre. I had seen all the previews and debated about going to view the movie. After being talked into going‚ I was very disappointed.

The conclusive part of the outbreak narrative is what keeps film viewers at the edge of their seats; what draws faces into the depths of the horror novels.

Stephen King‚ the master of horror in literature‚ once said “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit‚ but taste completely different”.This brings to question how horror differs in novels and films.
