Paranormal Activity(Golden Village Pictures)

FUELED by rave word-of-mouth reviews and clever marketing, micro-budget horror film "Paranormal Activity" has taken the box office by storm to become one of the year's most unlikely hits.

Following in the footsteps of 1999's "The Blair Witch Project," director Oren Peli's acclaimed film -- made for just 11,000 US dollars (S$15,400) -- earned US$22 million in its opening US weekend box office alone.

Like "Blair Witch," "Paranormal Activity" is simple but effective. Spooked by things that go bump in the night, a young couple in suburban California decide to leave a camera on at their bedside to record supernatural goings on. FULL STORY
