Paranormal Activity











terrifying! this years exorcist. I shit myself.
It's not and you won't.

A norm couple decide to set up a camera in their house to try and catch evidence of the strange noises they've been hearing at night. They succeed in catching some weird goings on and it becomes apparent something sinister is taking place.

The no name actors are fine if a little stage school but successfully create a believable relationship. There are some unsettling episodes, most effective being the time lapse footage of them in bed at night which works because it's so subtle, other over the top scenes involving a ouja board and an internet exorcism are just corny.

It's well edited and doesn't outstay it's welcome but it's just not scary. I watched this in ideal viewing conditionals - by myself in the dark and really hoped to get creeped out but was sadly disappointed.

This feels like a second cousin to the Blair Witch which is actually very creepy and Incident in Lake Country which is actually fucking terrifying (aliens) and if you want to shit your pants I would recommend tracking that down.

NO - an episode of Ghosthunters is more frightening than this.
