The feeling of reality so so artfully evoked that people have started looking up for news relating to the death of Micah Sloat. Weekend has always been known to be one of those times when the reports of celebrity death hoax have known to rule the roost. So, when Sloat’s name cropped up this weekend in the list, it just helped prove just how brilliant his performance has been on screen. “Paranormal Activity” has been released at few selected outlets (12) across US and has been receiving an exceptionally good response from all quarters. It is referred to as being the next “Blair Witch Project” in matters of success and cult worship. It has all the requirements that need to make it in to a worthy successor of the cult horror film of “Blair Witch Project”.

The movie focuses on the life of a young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, who are haunted by a strange supernatural presence in the house. In order to capture the cause of the uneasiness, the duo set up cameras all over their house. What they come across does not help put them at ease at all.

By Gina Gomez Oct. 11, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Ever since the movie “Paranormal Activity” hit the theaters on the Sep. 25 this year, it has successfully managed to create a good market for itself. The mockumentary achieved so much authenticity in levels of its cinematic treatment that it managed to convince the viewers that the lead pair of actors had seriously met with a tragic and fatal end by the time the movie got over.
