Are you kidding? With six movies released on Christmas Day, there is nothing until January 13th
1. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY:
An amazing film story – budget- $11,000. Shooting time – 4 days. Sets- none – just the director’s house, interiors only. A couple are convinced that something is haunting their home, so he places a video camera at the foot of their bed, which records all night … and over four nights, the activity becomes more and more frightening. I dare you to watch this one at home alone with the lights out – a real chiller – no special effects to speak of – it’ll just scare the “yell” out of you. Rated 14A
2. A PERFECT GETAWAY:
I love a good thriller where no one is quite what they seem. Enter our heroes, a couple on a Hawaiian vacation who decided to hike off the beaten path, only to learn that someone – or something – is killing tourists in a brutal and vicious fashion. Could they be next? Mila Jovavich and Steve Zahn star in a better-than-average thriller. Rated 14A.
3. JENNIFER’S BODY:
Well, Megan Fox’s body actually, and even though the publicity around Fox’s bizarre comments around Transformer’s director Michael Bay seemed designed to earn her more notoriety, and despite the provocative title here, this horror-chiller, which actually is not half-bad, tanked at the box office. Possessed by a demon, Jennifer the cheerleader now has a hunger for human flesh. Rated 18A.
4. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY:
It really doesn’t matter what you believe or what you do not believe, this one will scare the yell out of you … by degrees!
SLEUTH (1972):
Lord Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine in the original based on the Broadway play. One of the finest murder-mysteries ever made.

DR. PARNASSUS
Forget this mish-mash by Terry Gilliam. He tries to Monty-Python-it, but it does not work.
