Prepare to see the actual footage of the supernatural events leading to the 2008 "murder" of Samantha Finley. Released against the wishes of the authorities, this DVD proves that nothing human caused Samantha's death and therefore the suicide of his mother and the arrest and suicide of his brother.
Now the first thing that striked me was the whole 'this is real' angle that more and more horror movies are trying to adapt to.
First it sint real, you being intelligent beings know this and its confirmed by the big thing at the end of every movie saying 'the events in the movie are ficticious, any similarities...' etc but thats not what this is about.
Doesnt this whole thing seem kind of familiar, well it is, its a total rip off of Paranormal activity. Not just in feel, but in execution. Same basic plot points, characters, development, even text font. Its like they are flat out not even trying anymore. I mean low budget is one thing, but at least do something different.
So here is the question I put forward to you guys. What is the biggest rip-off movie you have ever seen, wiether it be a big budget action movie or low budget knock off.
In before Avatar=DancesWithSmurfs.
In before Twilight=TrueBlood=VampireDiaries :D
All that old stuff...
