Paranormal Activity, a film made for £9,000 on a camcorder, has become the most profitable film ever made taking in more than £60 million so far. The movie was made in 2007 but has only just been released in major cinemas. Its director Oren Peli says he's overwhelmed by the project's success and that Steven Spielberg had to walk out of a screening halfway through because he was so scared.
