@hyperballad Yep, failed to see where the hype for this movie came from. Boredom incarnate.

**Paranormal Activity (2007)**: *6.8/10* *(Good)*
___

There are some rough patches, but overall, it's not a bad film. “Paranormal Activity” is shot in a found footage format, with believable acting and some effective scares. The film brilliantly capitalizes on the concept that what's scariest isn't often what you see, but what you imagine, and it does so effectively. However, that is about all it has going for it; it is not really terrifying, the story is as ordinary as it possibly could be, and the conclusion leaves a lot to be desired. If you have some time to kill, you probably will not regret checking it out, but I personally don't think it's worth going out of one's way to do so.

I kept expecting something would happen to that bear the entire movie, but nope. Really good horror, I enjoyed it a lot.

Finally watched this today, and have to say: it was even worse than I expected. 1/10 rating. Wish I could give it a 0. I don't know how anybody got scared by this movie or found it thrilling. It was an hour and a half of boredom -- pure and complete boredom. The fact that low-effort crap like this gets incredible revenue is just sad.

What an awful movie. The horrifying story of 2 lovers who refuse to close their bedroom door no matter what happens.
[spoiler]Not to mention the fact that we have to watch countless scenes of these 2 looking around for something the already know can't be seen as though they will spot it behind the shower curtain and a bad ending to top it all off. Steer clear of this movie unless you like movies where nothing happens until the last 10 minutes and then pretty much nothing happens in the final 10.[/spoiler]

Having watched quite a lot of found footage films and liking the genre as a whole I have never once touched PA. In part due to the hype but also because it always looked quite boring. The movie's initial notoriety certainly influenced my viewing experience so I was more so impressed at the restraint they showed with it rather than finding it particularly scary but was ultimately also disappointed at how it all played out [spoiler](are you really just going to stick to sleeping in the same bed with no additional precautions or even locking the doors..? the "mythology" was also terribly under baked.)[/spoiler]. Still, for FF this was serviceable and very representative of the formula :smile:...

Everything except the end is boring but even though it's shocking it's also not making any sense

Paranormal Activity is a low-budget horror film that became a phenomenon. Using the found footage style, the film follows a young couple that buys a video camera in order to investigate bizarre occurrences that have been plaguing their house. The storytelling is excellent, and feels especially authentic. And, it does an amazing job at incrementally building the suspense and increasing the intensity of every scene. With blood chilling terrors and disturbing imagery, Paranormal Activity delivers an extraordinarily terrifying experience.

Even on a second watch, again around midnight, it scared the shit out of me. I don't have that with almost any film, but this one. DAMN, it just scares me.

I praise Oren Peli to do so much with so little, it works amazingly and it says something that it still creeps me out on a rewatch. I don't think many people can watch this and not be affected after. Now I won't watch this again for a couple of years. I want to sleep well again.

Rewatching this series in chronological order makes Micah is 100x more annoying knowing what I know now.

I don't get how that franchise became so popular. I've seen many bad horror movies, but none of them was that BORING. There's nothing remotely scary in the whole movie.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE SERIES OF MOVIE'S, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH THEM
THEY NEVER GET OLD,
NEVER GET TIED AND NEVER GET BORING.
I'M A SUCKER FOR AWESOME PARANORMAL AND THESE FANTASTIC MOVIE'S DO NOT DISAPPOINT.
JUST FINISHED NUMBER 1 GOING TO WORK MY WAY THROUGH THEM ALL FOR HALLOWEEN RIGHT UP TO THE NEW ONE THAT CAME OUT TODAY, WHICH LOOKS TOTALLY AWESOME
P-NEXT OF KIN
THEN NEXT YEAR WE HAVE P-THE OTHER SIDE
CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT ONE. BUT FOR NOW I JUST HAVE 7 OF THEM TO ENJOY.
NUMBER 1 IS DEFINITELY A STRONG 7/10
AND THEY ONLY GET BETTER ONWARDS,
with the exception of number 4, it's alright but ultimately end's up being the weakest out of the series.
Still nowhere near a deal breaker, I always enjoy them as a series.

Not the best movie out there, but it must have been 'big' in 2007. The plot is predictable and nothing really happens in it. But it must be appreciated for the idea of shooting it with only 3 actors and a low budget camera (which of course was an innovation for the 2000s). It's a classic for a reason.

The actress that plays Katie is bad, I'm sorry.
