    The low budget film ($15,000) has reportedly sent the world into a screaming frenzy despite its grainy look and its hand-held camera, home video kind of footage. Viewers have likened its shock and awe effects to The Blair Witch Project, with theatres in the US recording a communal frenzy of `oohs' and `aahs' in packed late night shows.

    Paranormal Activity is the 15,000-dollar scary movie that turned into a 100-million-dollar box-office phenomenon thanks to an ingenious viral marketing campaign and word-of-mouth publicity in the United States last year.

    A great deal of hype surrounds this movie; its worldwide box office collections have been touching the roof, but that does not necessarily mean it lives up to all those gargantuan expectations. The film, purportedly a fright-fest, was made at a meagre budget of $15000, and had a restricted opening to start with. But word of mouth and a smart virtual campaign have done it wonders at the box office. The film does not have the manufactured superficiality

    Paranormal Activity isn't a film, it's a phenomenon. A quick update for those unfamiliar with the backstory. The film, which centers on a young couple who are haunted by a supernatural presence, was made in 2006 for approximately five lakh. It is entirely set in a suburban house and was directed by a video game designer named Oren Peli, who has no formal training in direction.
