Paranormal Activity
Paper details
Write an essay by answering all these questions after watching the movie “Paranormal Activity:” (The essay
should be made up of answers to these questions which listed below.)
Questions for Paranormal Activity:
1) In P1, what exactly does the demon want from Katie? Does it ultimately get what it wants?
2) Why is Micah such a big jerk in Paranormal Activity? Why doesn’t Katie just leave him for a better choice
in boyfriends?
3) Why does Katie allow Micah to film her in the bathroom when it’s clear that the demon lives in the attic?
Why doesn’t Micah put the cameral in the attic after discovering that’s where the demon lives?
4) Why don’t Katie and Micah just leave their home after the demon starts bothering them? I know the
psychic said that it wouldn’t do any good, but he also states that he’s not an expert on demons. Shouldn’t
they at least check out into a hotel and see if it confuses the demon?
5) What does the demon communicate through the Ouija board? Is fire itself a form of communication?
6) Who edits the many hours of video footage that Micah shoots, and then puts it back together to form the
film itself?
7) For crying out loud, why don’t they call the police? Or the FBI or CIA? I assume that either one of those
agencies would love to investigate the presence of a demon on US. soil!
