Paranormal Activity

What Happens When You Sleep?

A young couple move into their new home. Soon, there are strange goings-on in the night, and the woman reveals to her boyfriend that this is the third time in her life that she has been plagued by such things. He decides to rig up a camera to record what is happening ... and thus the terror begins. The film borrows a lot from The Blair Witch Project in terms of handheld camera, off-camera horror and a viral marketing campaign. It was also made for less than US$ 20k.

86 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language)
