| | Posted: | | | | With the way the rules are written... if there is no credits on the film what so ever (be the first time I ever seen that!) then the profile couldn't have credits per the Rules.
Well you could do cast with Uncredited with the official site as a source. But Crew wouldn't be allowe3d at all. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | | huh! I may have to rent it again to be 100% sure.
I was just wondering because it has not been profiled yet and someone is trying to profile it but it is being denied.
Thanks |

I wasn't paying attention at first, but after awhile there was a massive list of names (probably from the website to push the film into mainstream markets), but I thought there were standard credits before the list. Like I said, I could be wrong, and since I rented it from Redbox, I don't have the disc to verify it. | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

I thought they didn't have credits though to make it seem real -Agrare |

| | Posted: | | | | This is from Roger Ebert's review of the film: ""Paranormal Activity" is an ingenious little horror film, so well made it's truly scary, that arrives claiming it's the real thing. Without any form of conventional opening or closing credits, it begins by thanking "the families of Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston" and closes with one of those "current whereabouts unknown" title cards and a screen of copyright notices." While the official website would be a good source for the cast, listed as uncredited, the crew can't be entered at all.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

It may take a PM to Gerri to get it accepted but to me that sounds like the best option. |

I, too, would be very happy if I could download that data from the database. Unfortunately, the rules, as written, do not allow this...at least not for crew. As I said the last time, if Ken or Gerri want to make an exception for this situation, I would not object. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Just to clear it up, in case there is any left over confusions, there are absolutely NO credits, in either the film's opening or closing credits for this title. I watched it a few days ago, and ended up scratching my head over the lack of credits (I fully intended to submit them for the profile). No cast, no crew, nothing.
The long list of names presented at the end of the film (after the gap of blackness) is a list of thanks. Probably the link that was posted (but I didn't click it, so I don't know), but yeah, no credits, just a bunch of thanks (maybe for the people that voted for the film to open wide instead of limited?).
As of right now, I've simply added all the cast and crew into my local and locked it. Sucks that it has to be this way (the actors could get put in as uncredited), but that's the way it is. | | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |
