Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Paranormal Activity definitely has a creepy feel, but at times it feels like it's trying too hard to be scary. They use sounds and simple special effects to create an eerie mood, but then the mood is shattered by some bad acting or a cheesy "Boo!" moment. Worth a watch, but don't expect Blair Witch quality.

The hype of this movie was extremely huge and just like The Blair Witch Project. It had the same marketing and same trailer that shock the people. When I came across this movie, I wasn't sure whether I was going to love it or hate it. After watching I in the middle of love and hate. I love the night sequences. They work every effectively and are very creepy and very realistic. I hated the other aspect of this movie, which was the constant argument of the couple. I found it very annoying and very grading on my nerves and it got under my skin quite few times. There will be two types of people's reaction to this movie: One group who find it very scary and very realistic and it messes with you a lot. The other group of people who were eagerly waiting to see it because of the hype and after watching it said " Nothing Happened. What the hell? There was no music. There is no demon in the film. You don't see anything. Nothing ever happens. It's loud sound effects and some annoying couple arguing. And that group of people tend to hate Paranormal Activity.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Paranormal Activity" (R - 2007 - US)Sub-Genre: POV/ParanormalMy Score: 6.5Cast=3 Acting=7 Plot=8 Ending=8 Story=5 Scare=4 Jump=7 F/X=7 POV=9 Creep=7After 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 demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night."Basically, they're these malevolent evil spirits that only exist to cause pain and commit evil for their own amusement." Although not particularly scary to me, this movie was fun to watch. It plays in the classic "Blair Witch" style of POV...starting out slow and building along until the last 15 minutes unlock the gates of Hell. If you ever see this on Blu-Ray, watch the alternate ending for some added enjoyment. You have to be a fan of Found Footage to consider this worth seeing...I'm a sucker for this stuff.

Well, it's not the worst movie in history. But not for lack of trying. It says here that it didn't have a real script. Wow, what a surprise! It also didn't have real actors, real acting, plot, sense...anything at all. It's painful to watch, because it's so boring and nothing ever happens. Many shots of empty parts of the house, many other with the "actors" doing nothing. It is supposed to be an horror film; but by god, it's horribly horrible! How on earth did it get sequels is beyond me! I guess some people just like garbage. "Legend says" that people walked out of the cinema due to fear and tension caused by the movie. I'd walk out due to the rage boiling inside me and the desire to murder the so call "director". One of the worse things I ever watched. Stay away. If you liked this, if you were scared, if you gave this a good review...do us all a favor and go live in a cave!
