this movie was one of the scariest movies iv seen in a long time. If I didnt know better I would have believed it was real. it made me lose sleep it is seriously scary. the slow build up of the story makes it more scary and suspensful.
Definitely not a perfect horror film, but one that played its cards right in establishing atmosphere and toying with the audience. Justifiably compared to the same style filmmaking as 'The Blair Witch Project,' though the material is handled a bit differently here. Probably not...( read more)
ok it was basically like a better Blair Witch Project. Most of the movie was not very entertaining but a few of the night scenes were somewhat creepy. The only REALLY freaky parts were the final two night scenes which had my heart pumpin fast although I did not so much as flinch....( read more)
El Proyecto de la Bruja de Blair fue una brillante idea y aterradora, ·Rec esta edificada con estilo y va creciendo poco a poco para dar un gran final, Paranormal Activity? Just BORING! too little, too late.-
Over hyped and slow. But still the last half hour of the movie makes all worth while. And it had a much better ending than the Blair Witch Project. Decent acting and for the small budget, the special effects were good enough. A film that just kept my interest in the whole thing, ...( read more)
I saw this twice, once in theaters and once on DVD. In the theater, I thought this movie was excellent. When I watched it on the DVD, it was incredibly boring. The sound was really bad and the acting seemed a lot worse. This movie only cost $15,000 though. Pretty spectacular. If ...( read more)
seriously the movie did it's job,it scared me!
I'm not really the kind of person that freak out on a movie but that one!the way it's filmed makes it looked even more realistic,you know home videos quality (kinda like Cloverfield...or blairwitch project...)anyway that was worth a...( read more)
Had some creepy moments, makes you wonder if shit like this happens. I'm not sure what I would do in this situation, probably burn the house down, who knows.
Hands down, the scariest movie I've ever seen. I let out two extended screams, was sweating, getting the chills, goose bumps... the whole works. Needs to be watched at home with all the lights off.
I am completely confused how anyone can say this movie was scary
Throughout the entire movie, I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did
The best part of the movie can be seen in the preview for it
I was extremely disappointed in Paranormal Activity
If it is based on a true story, then the house is really scarily haunted.
Anyway, the performance from both leads Katie & Micah are very good.
Rated 3.5 stars by Roger Ebert.

The Blair Witch Project tops this, no doubt. Paranormal Activity was not as realistic as TBWP. It started off a bit slow... I guess I was expecting more; the trailer looks too intense for the movie. It is interesting though, a movie you can watch with your friends... You c...( read more)
I had heard so many things about this movie. Some were good and some were bad. So I was not sure what to thing about this movie. When Nexflix shipped the movie we had it for like 5 days before watching it.
So after watching the movie I thnk it was ok. It was a bit interest...( read more)
This is scary? This is stressful! But not the most horrorific movie of the year, come on Drag Me to Hell IS FUCKING SCARY! This is over hyped, but estill is a good exercise of tension.
I missed this at the cinema recently.
Is it out on DVD already?
I'll have to get it.
R/V will soon follow.
Given that this was a low budget movie (and contrary to what some goofballs think, NOT a true story)... I loved it and the actors did a great job in this movie! !It was exactly what I expected and I was still thinking about this movie a week after seeing it! No huge mind blowing ...( read more)
The worst horror movie made in the 21st Century.
It was ridiculously slow and easy to laugh at.
The acting was poor which made it unbelivable.
The trailer was scarier than the entire movie.
Harrowing, realistic story about something supernatural that is disturbing a young couple at their suburban home in the early hours of the morning. Another hand held camera film that follows in the cult success of films such as The Blair Witch Project, REC, and Cloverf...( read more)
The characters were a bit annoying, especially Katie because they're all over the place but it was creepy and interesting enough. Not scary though but exciting to watch with a group of friends late at night.
By far and large one of the more interesting flicks of 2009, Paranormal Activity isn't just another overhyped and overblown flick ( if not an overbudget movie at that). Produced for a mere $15 grand, P.A. does something that many horror flicks of late couldn't seem to accomplish-...( read more)
aaahh es buena movie te mantiene mucho en suspenso pero el final por mas q lo esperes siempre te sorprende its really good
Ummm una película que se la tiro el boom mediático tanto hablar y tanto decir que era la personificación del miedo que cuando finalmente la vez a cada segundo estas esperando que te asuste y claro así es muy difícil lograrlo.
Por otro lado se me hizo aburridora y he de confesar ...( read more)
Above average in both realisation and concept. Pushing the Blairwitch project movie to the extreme. Great cast apart from Katie girlfriend but the rest is great. Pushing the unbeleviable in the right order.
This movie was as scary as the Alvin and the chimpmunks movie. I rented this movie to see what the fuss is all about and after watching this movie I felt like I was hoodwinked. I can't believe that critics said that this movie is the "scariest movie of all time", what a very over...( read more)
The "found footage" style of movie is getting a little tired, but this one is still full of good old fashioned chills.
I'll say this: it worked. Mostly. The final night wasn't so much scary as showy (and therefore less effective), but it wasn't any worse than the original ending. Oren Peli clearly understands slow burn suspense, and that narrative ability carries you through 80 minutes of two ...( read more)
i was scary as hell when the girl gets dragged out of bed and when the guy gets up to help the door slams shut
I have never been creeped out by a horror film but this was by far the scariest movie I have seen. Not recommended for everyone that's for sure.
Just goes to show you that any idiot with a camera and shitty actors can make big money with a shitty movie but top notch directors and actors with good movies are left out in the cold
I made a promise to myself to see this flick before the end of the year, I'm so glad I did. This was a different take on the Blair Witch Project. I like the home movie quality of it. The creepy lighting and not quite seeing what was after them made it so cool. Watch it with the ...( read more)
it was a good movie...but i think it could have been better. there should have been more to it then there was
entertaining but halfway the flick, katie gets seriously on my nerves....
