This will be the last movie of its kind that I will see. I don't think I need to hear someone screaming to have the person turn off the fucking camera. Plus the last 5 seconds pretty much take away what I did happen to like.

Progressively freakier stuff happened each night. I dreaded each nighttime bedroom episode. Scarier for us, but why did they leave their bedroom door wide open to that dark hallway and staircase? I had trouble going to sleep in the dark for the next few nights after seeing this ...( read more)

Did the hype kill the movie? I watch a lot of horror movies and normally I would really have liked this one. In the endless stream of b-movies and even expensive crap, this movie really stands out. Paranormal Acivity is a scary and straightforward movie and it isn't boring. But o...( read more)

The same old thing dressed up in very slightly different clothes. full review
In the light of day, it's all very silly and conventional. But of course we're not talking about the light of day. full review
It works best when it comes out of nowhere, because that's, in the end, where it goes. full review
Even Roger Corman might have hesitated to pitch this deal to one of his hungry young proteges: "You get a little over $11,000, one camera and two unknown actors to make a really scary movie. No effect... full review
This unsettling ultra-low-budget tale capitalizes on our innate fear of things that go bump in the night, and adds a supernatural element that will effectively terrorize even the toughest among us. full review
Without financing, stars or more than a couple of special effects, first-time writer/director Olen Peli has made a diabolically effective essay in irrational horror. full review
With a $15,000 budget too puny to empty a petty-cash drawer, the no-frills Paranormal Activity comes packed with thrills. full review

November 14, 2009Complete and utterly EPIC FAIL. It had some freaky scenes, but this movie was totally over-hyped. I've seen episodes of Ghost Hunters scarier than this.
