Paranormal Activity (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Oren Peli
Starring: Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Amber Armstrong, Mark Fredrichs
Genres: Horror
One night in early October, Katie gets out of bed, stares and stands next to Micah and leaves the room. Some time later she screams, Micah wakes up and goes downstairs. Katie kills him (offscreen) and then throws him towards the camera. She sits down next to him and then suddenly rushes towards the camera. Some text on screen mentions that Micah was found by the police days later and Katie's whereabouts are unknown. Alternate endings: 1) Katie kills herself after killing Micah. 2) Katie returns to the bedroom (after killing Micah) with a knife and her clothes are stained with blood. She's in a catatonic state for a few days and her friend Amber calls the house. Some time later, the police go to the house and when they see Katie, they tell her to drop the knife. She doesn't let go of the knife, she's confused (and no longer possessed) and asking "Where's Micah?". A door slams shut and this startles the police officers and they accidentally kill Katie.

Micah: Basically, they're these malevolent evil spirits that only exist to cause pain and commit evil for their own amusement. It's pretty creepy. I mean, they stalk people for years, like decades, and sometimes they're really intelligent in the way they do things to freak you out.
Trivia: As part of a marketing gimmick, the film wasn't going to receive a traditional release. Instead, audiences could click a button online to "demand" their local theaters get a copy, and once an area got enough "demands," a copy would be shipped there. This was done because the studio was worried they wouldn't make enough money if they did a wide release. So many people ended up "demanding" the film, that the studio eventually caved and gave it a wide release. It became a massive hit.
Question: I hope someone can help me with this: In one of the movie's /teaser/promotional posters, we see Katie and Micah tightly huddled together on the extreme far right of their bed while they look at a shadow of something that is outlined on their bedroom door. I've seen the movie more than once but don't remember that scene. When (or if) does this occur in the movie?

Answer: It's just a movie poster, not showing any part of a scene. Some movie posters may take different parts of the movie and combine them to make a more suspenseful image for the movie poster/teaser. There is a part in the movie with a shadow on the door, and there is a time where they are together on the bed in a similar position. Combine the two to make the poster interesting.
