Especially when they sleep. Or try to... Play.com Review Following in the ghoulish footsteps of 'found footage' classics The Blair Witch Project and Rec Paranormal Activity is the latest low-budget ultra scare-fest to wow Hollywood! Made for just 000 in director Oren Peli's very own home this unique indie cross between The Exorcist and Poltergeist has left cinema audiences in a perpetual state of terror. Filmed in a documentary style Paranormal Activity follows day-trader Micah and college student Katie a young couple Engaged to be engaged. Played by unknowns Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston the leads are wholly sympathetic and normal characters living out a seemingly mundane suburban existence which is part of the movie's genius - many of us could be them minus the paranormal activity! When Micah takes it upon himself to film Katie's claims that she has been haunted since childhood audiences will likely be just as sceptical as he is but not for long... Sleep is going to be a problem. Not beyond some good old-fashioned scares - strange noises and things that go bump in the night - the film takes all the classics and the cliches of the genre but roots them in a reality that audiences can relate to - nearly everyone has seen or experienced something unexplainable on some level. But what do you do when the unexplainable keeps on happening and it's damn scary? You really will feel like you're watching genuine hauntings of these poor unfortunate souls but - as with all great horror movies - it's what you don't see that really sets the imagination racing. That such terror was achieved on a micro budget is a testament to the filmmaker - few like-minded films have been as successful Blair Witch being one exception. For optimum frights we recommend you leave the lights off if you can bear it. Whatever you do make sure you order in some new underwear because you're going to need them and if DreamWorks and Steven Spielberg have anything to do with it you might have to buy a few pairs because sequels are likely on the way. For more 'found footage' terrors we recommend you check out: The low budget horror that reignited the genre The Blair Witch Project Spanish horror film Rec or Hollywood remake Quarantine The one that started it all Cannibal Holocaust Zombie master George A.

• The Shining | DVD | (10/09/2001) from £3.78  |  Saving you £10.10 (72.20%)  |  RRP £13.99

  Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is less an adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling horror novel than a complete re-imagining of it from the inside out. In King's book, the Overlook Hotel is a haunted place that takes possession of its off-season caretaker and provokes him to murderous rage against his wife and young son. Kubrick's film is an existential Road Runner cartoon (his steadicam scurrying through the hotel's labyrinthine hallways), in which the cavernously empty spaces inside the Overlook Hotel mirror the emptiness in the soul of the blocked writer settled in for a long winter's hibernation. As many have pointed out, King's protagonist goes mad, but Kubrick's Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) is Looney Tunes from the moment we meet him--all arching eyebrows and mischievous grin. (Both Nicholson and Shelley Duvall reach new levels of hysteria in their performances, driven to extremes by the director's fanatical demand s for take after take after take.) The Shining is terrifying--but not in the way fans of the novel might expect. When it was redone as a TV mini-series (reportedly because of King's dissatisfaction with the Kubrick film), the famous topiary-animal attack (which was deemed impossible to film in 1980) was there--but the deeper horror was lost. Kubrick's The Shining gets under your skin and chills your bones; it stays with you, inhabits you, haunts you. And there's no place to hide... --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com

  In what critics are calling The Best Final Destination yet (NME.com) and A franchise high (Yahoo Movies), Death is just as omnipresent as ever and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of co-workers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death's sinister agenda. Final Destination 5 is both a great film in its own right and a brilliant addition to the franchise, with some of the best 3D I've seen this year (David Edwards, Sunday Mirror).
