RHCPfan24 An unsatisfying conclusion soils a promising film.

Well, there is not much to say about this film besides the fact that I was disappointed. I do not know why I even anticipated much, though the claim that this was the "scariest movie ever made" definitely enticed me into seeing it. However, I never was genuinely scared or ...

sam_i_am Paranormal Activity : Reviewed

I don't think Micah is welcome. BANG! GROWL! AAAHHHH!!! Oh, wait, you said paranormal activity? Forget all that. Those sounds and screams would be best saved for a Really scary movie. Paranormal Activity was a well done movie as far as concept and editing, by editing I mean the way ...

MasterPr0phet The Real Blair Witch Sequel.

  "Paranormal Activity" is perhaps one of the best creep fests I've ever watched. I'm usually not a fan of these "reality movies", but PA sets in motion some good and genuinely creepy scares. I see a lot of comparisons to "Blair Witch Project" from ten years ago, but the ...

femiboy34 Close your door for God's sake!

Micah Sloat is an asshole.On what can certainly be boiled down to the testimonies of my friends and the posturing of the movie advertising as "the scariest movie of all time," I have made good efforts to avoid this flick, and that's detached from my previous embargo of ALL selections ...

arrowfan237 Worst Shaky Camera Ever

I hated this movie with every fiber of my being for 1 reason-  IT WASN'T SCARY.  That's right, you read that right. I found this to be one of the most pathetic excuses for horror ever thrown at an audience and it should have never even been released. I believe that people ...

keith71_98 An impressive but bogged down haunted house picture.

In many ways you have to respect what “Paranormal Activity” has accomplished. With a budget of only $15,000, the small independent horror film gained an enthusiastic audience and eventually made close to $200 million worldwide. There’s nothing complex about “Paranormal Activity”. In fact instead of depending on blood, gore, and ...
