    Paranormal Activity follows a young, middle-class couple who become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly most active in the middle of the night—especially while they sleep. (Gary Reber)

    The disc has the option of the theatrical version (86:17) or the unrated version with an alternate ending not seen in theatres (86:17). A digital copy of the theatrical version is provided There are no special features, except for a trailer.

    The 1080p AVC picture quality is entirely a hand-held consumer camcorder, with poor picture quality. If you were enthralled with The Blair Witch Project, then this is for you. Otherwise, the quality is worthless! (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is essentially monaural, with thumping deep bass occurrences during sleep hours in all channels, especially extended in the .1 LFE channel. This is an undistinguished soundtrack of poor quality. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #89 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love your DVD and equipment reviews!!! Every part of your magazine has tons of info. I love the people you interview. I also love how you have BY FAR the best mail responses to our mail and e-mail. From The Editor's Couch has a ton of info in every issue. Coming Soon is a nice area that is better than any other magazine out there. I am glad you are in touch with the new HD DVD in every issue for the most up-to-date info around. I have all of your issues and plan on getting your awesome magazine forever! Thanks.
