  • 16. Paranormal Activity - The Scream Test

    01:36:19||Season 3, Ep. 16
    On this horror film podcast episode, host Rachel reviews Paranormal Activity. In Paranormal Activity, a young, suburban couple, Katie and Micah, find their new home increasingly disturbed by an unseen, malevolent presence. Initially manifesting as bumps in the night and shifting objects, the activity escalates, becoming more personal and terrifying. Convinced their house is haunted, Micah invests in a video camera, hoping to capture proof. What begins as a search for evidence quickly devolves into a chilling, found-footage chronicle of their descent into fear. As the entity's attacks grow bolder and more violent, revealing a sinister connection to Katie's past, they realise they're not just documenting a haunting – they're trapped in a losing battle against a demon determined to claim one of them. The film forces the audience to confront the unsettling reality of what happens when the supernatural transcends mere bumps in the night and directly threatens human lives.For more of the latest movie reviews, head to our website.
