adonis98-743-186503 After a young, middle class couple moves into a suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to. Paranormal Activity has it's moments and it's definitely way better than most found footage films but unfortunately not good enough either and the creepiest moment was probably the ending but other than that? I found it pretty boring to say the least and it's kinda sad. (5.0/10)

tapionjr First of all, I hope IMDb will allow me to share my review with you, I've been trying to do it but i couldn't...as if it were a paranormal phenomenon... Jookes aside, i'll tell you one more thing before the review, i don't speak english.The Review: You know, i'm a newbie into the filmverse, i enjoy it so much that i need to eat movies these days...and with a friend, we decided to start watching ''horror'' movies (you can check them in my unique list).After watching Child's Play, Saw and other independent films like Videodrome, we started Paranormal Activity. And the problem began on the first minutes. The man is unrelatable, we can't empathize with him, he's just an hypocrite. He starts with some ''i bought this camera for _______'' and decides to help his girlfriend with it, but later he doesn't care, he didn't even ask help for her while having the means, and that already kicks the plot for us, the viewers. that one of the two protagonists is already so poorly developed, causes a void in the viewer, who wants to see a guy whose relevance is such that he throws it overboard? No one.In the other hand, we have Katie. Unfortunately, even if she is a promising character, she doesn't convince us. Why? Her decisions take second place to those of her boyfriend, and it makes us powerless, because we know that the means she wants to take because of the circumstance in which she finds herself are more than justified.The shooting decisions are regrettable. No, it's not about how much money was used or not, it's about pure and simple decisions. Focusing the camera on a room in dead time is not scary, it is not suspenseful, and it is boring. It's an unbearable film, I'm sorry, if the director was even me, I could have taken more potential out of the premise. There are better movies from that genre, check Poltergeist if you want, the old or the new one. :)

oliviapersson If you enjoy watching horror movies like I do you will love this one. If I watch a horror movie I want to be scared and have a hard time falling asleep, I don't want to forget it after one day. That's why this is a great horror film. I remembered when I was around 15 and couldn't even see half of it because it was too scary for me, but watching it now when I'm 20 it's still scary but I can barely see the whole movie. Things I love in this movie is the way they are filming it "homemade style" it makes it a lot more real and gets me feeling like it actually could happen. Everything something scary happens in this film I ether jump, look away or shiver which is exactly how you should feel while watching a horror movie!

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) I don't compare an amateur/indie film with C-list actors to a blockbuster big production film with A-list actors! It's like comparing an Olympic runner to a retired old man that goes for regular walks. Clearly we know who is better, faster, and more qualified to win! You compare each in their own class, or in the case of rating a film, on it's own merits.You also look at who backed any film (big production company=big $$$ for a better film) and the key individuals involved in the production (director, writer, etc..). This film had no big backing and only a 2+ million dollar budget - and should not be compared to a 200+ million dollar film.This little gem was done by an all amateur cast and production on a 15k budget, and went on to make over 350 million. Nuff said! 10/10!
