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.

It has been five years since the disappearance of Katie and Hunter, and a suburban family witness strange events in their neighborhood when a woman and a mysterious child move in. Paranormal Activity 4 is for sure way better than the first three films but also way more creepier too as a whole. For example the knife scene? or the girl sleeping and getting lift up in the air? or just the ending as a whole? The film has it's flaws for sure and i know why some people hated it as a whole but i enjoyed it way more than the last 3 movies together i'm afraid. (7/10)

Let's be honest this film sucks, I enjoyed the third and hoped that they'd have built on the positive elements of that one, but instead of moving g the franchise forward they took it back hugely.The first few minutes were watchable, Robbie seemed to have a certain quirkiness that you felt could be developed into something, but it didn't, managing to watch the film without yawning or playing with your phone would be a good effort, it truly fails to engage the viewer.The scares are virtually non existent, they've all been done before and are clumsily delivered, at no point do you feel on edgeWhy was Robbie even allowed to stay with them? Did nobody even question this child's moving in with virtual strangers. Katie Featherston tries her best but is up against it. The house is nice........A shocker. Nothing actually happens.

This movie is so underrated...Honestly, I think this is the second best, after Paranormal Activity 1. I loved the story and the characters; I think I fell in love with the oldest daughter, Alex Nelson. She was very hot and I felt sorry that she died at the end. Also, Ben was very funny.I don't understand the hate for this film. The script is very unpredictable. For example, at the beginning I was absolutely sure that Robbie is Hunter, but he wasn't. Wyatt was Hunter.Also, I think the ending is one of the best endings ever. When I saw that army of women I was like "Wow!". And then one last jump-scare with a possessed Katie appearing in your face.

Paranormal Activity is actually a terrible film. Paranormal Activity 2 was an extension of the first but mildly diverting. Paranormal Activity 3 was the best yet. Do we need another one? That's a resounding no. In the next instalment in the franchise which was stretched to breaking point ages ago, a new family are getting haunted by objects in their house going bump. Katie and Hunter from the others are now living near them. This extension of a not that great premise offers a few jumpy bumps and has a slightly scary finale but before that you have to get through 90 minutes of things going bump and bland webcam footage. This film is less jumpy than a punctured bouncy castle and another example of modern horror's damaging reliance on OTT jump scares. The only thing which gives this some sort of elevation is the fact that the characters are actually perfectly likable. Since barely anything genuinely frightening happens, there isn't such a huge question of 'Why aren't they turning off the camera?!'.The scares are bland, lifeless and repetitive. There's no build up at all; just loud noises and that's pretty much it. The acting is average to bad, and the plot is flat as well. I don't remember this well as it's just the same stuff getting repeated over and over again. The finale is the only effective part of the movie but since it makes no sense and leaves the door wide open for yet anther sequel, the impact is blunted. In general, it's just not scary or particularly well written. It's just bland and half hearted. You can tell that the only thing the film was made for is money. The makers didn't care about anything resembling quality, they just wanted to make loads of money without spending loads of money. They succeeded, which is why we had Paranormal Activity The Marked Ones this year and now have Paranormal Activity 5 to look forward to next year. I'm dome with Paranormal Activity. I would advise the rest of you to bail on this franchise as well. This is a lame, lazy attempt to make a profit which barely raises a gasp, and doesn't deserve the cash.2/10
