scary as hell man your gonna have nightmares
Not scary but haunting. Looks like you'll get scared after watching the film not while watching it. The movie gave the "scary aftertaste". Great job. If you're planning a sequel, better not.
Impressive in creating an atmosphere where you are truly scared while watching the bedroom scenes, and the ending is just terrifying; but the movie didn't really live up to what I thought it was going to be. The two lead actors were great together and I liked their characters. I'...( read more)
A real impactful horror atleast for me. I like alternate ending where micah was thrown to the camera though the end in DVD version was also good.
didn't like it. i liked the concept and understand the idea that sometimes less is more, but this was just ...well....boring. maybe i watch too many zombie flicks?

"What happens when you sleep?" Paranormal Activity is one of the few horror films that I actually liked. It proves that you don't need breathtaking chase-scenes and complicated effects to produce a good horror film. Even waiting and sitting in silence can give you the chill. It w...( read more)
I had heard very bad reviews about this movie before I saw it, so I watched it with very little expectations. Considering the little budget, I thought they didn't do a too bad a job. It was better than the Blair Witch, possibly because the camera was actually still most of the time.
Malgré ses longueurs, et il y en a !, ce petit film à tout petit budget distille progressivement son atmosphère anxiogène jusqu'à son final assez efficace. C'est approximatif mais sous de bonnes conditions, ça peut marcher.
It was OK.. Some scary scenes at the end, but blair witch was better (found footage-movie)
it's really weird what i just read in the reviews and the criticisms in general , that they all say it's scary and stuff . i really felt bored most of the time while watching it :S , i guess it's simply because of our Faith in God and Fate " Talking about Muslims here " , which a...( read more)
I went to see that last week. Well, what a load of bull. That was not scary in any way shape or form. And ye the only scary part has when she was pulled out of the bed. I dont know how anyone thinks thats scary or even a good film. I'd rather watch a person giving birth than to e...( read more)
it's kinda creepy though...
but it's real scary if it was happen...
but unique story like watching only 2 peoples, in their home...
n also with handycam style...
just don't watch it alone...he3
It scared the shit out of me. I just finished watching it last night around 12:00 PM and I have turned the lights off. It helps me concentrate on the movie.
Absolutely loved this movie. It scared the crap out of me. It works so well by not revealing what is haunting the young couple in their own home. That is left to your own imagination. Instead it slowly but surely builds up the tension and suspense showing what the camcorder recor...( read more)
it was kinda scary but also retarded at the same time. doesnt mean i dont believe in ghosts....
Quite clearly the 'audience' in the trailer all walked away from that screening several pounds richer.
This is in no way scary, or even good in any way. Don't believe the hype.
it was scary! Like really, it was... everyone was saying it's not but watching it in a dark room, by myself, at 11pm proved to me how scary it was, very very freaky, and the worst thing about it is that about 60% of me belives it actually real!!!!
it tried to make you jump and there were a few moments that where a little scary but we saw most of them in the shorts for the movie... would have liked to know more and didn't like how it ended...
low budget. no real suspense. however, realistic filming. what little effects were done quite well. not bad considering budget. not recommended viewing if you enjoy a good movie.
Paranormal Activity, or the 'Blair Witch Bedroom' isn't bad. Builds tension and delivers jumps when you want them (more so if you haven't seen the trailer which spoils the worst ones). But like all 'real footage' movies, it tries just a little too hard and does nothing to take ...( read more)
There's been such a fuss over this film, its brilliant in tha sence its low budget, and anyone that experiences paranormal activity knows its a scary experience, I found that I wanted to know a lilttle more, having an expert explain the differences between Ghosts and Devils, whic...( read more)
what a load of *, this was like watching the South Park version of Cloverfield, the only reason it became interesting was because we saw some nakedness
While this film did drag on quite a bit in the first hour, the events afterwards were very rewarding. I can see how the director tried to make the audience lay back for a while in order to surprise them in the end, but I thought that the scenes leading to the end could have been ...( read more)
if it wasnt for the ending this film would of been incredibly boring, it's ok - leaves you feeling freaked out and sorry for them, specially if it is true.
this is an absolutely brilliant and fantastic horror classic. while the script isn't exactly original, it's a cross between poltergiest and the blair witch project with parts of the excorsist thrown in, this still manages to be a genuinely scary film that doesn't need loads of bl...( read more)
The biggest predictable pile of laughable poo I have seen in a while. Harry Potter is more scary, I have never laughed so much in my life.
The rubbish camera shots and extremely poor editing along with the budget effects just add to the laughable story line and don't get me sta...( read more)
One word - Disappointing. After all of the hype this film was given, it should have been excellent. The biggest issue with this film seems to be that most of the major parts of it were in the trailer. Next on the list is the fact that it just didn't seem to be scary. It relie...( read more)
This film was an absolute waste of time, the people who have watched this and said it's the scariest thing they have ever seen should not watch episodes of Scooby Doo or Teletubbies or they might just die.
This film was not scary, I could pull it apart and comment on everything ...( read more)
Do you ever lay in bed at night, and hear a crick in the floor or an unexplained noise in your house? With the use of the simplest techniques, this film will make you dread those noises and at times makes you feel so tense and so scared; you just want the characters to die alread...( read more)
I don't care what anyone says because I loved it. I watched it with the original ending which I think should of stayed the same for theaters. Oh and yes this film did scare me (I'm superstitious and startled easily, there I said it). My full review up soon.
