Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The only reason this movie is scary is because of how terrible the production is. I understand that they're going for the "home movie" vibe, but that doesn't excuse the lack of editing skills. There are pitch black fade-outs that go for over 5 seconds and the movie is ripe with jump cuts. Most of the time the characters don't even get to finish what they're saying before they cut away form them. What little plot there is is lost beneath a slew of awful editing, bad camera work, and horrendous audio. Again, I get the made at home vibe, but that doesn't mean you can't install a proper microphone and lower some of the audio feedback. The only thing I've edited is a school project in eight days, but it seems that I know a lot more about it than Gregory Plotkin. Was this made in Movie Maker? It doesn't look like anything more than that at all. Every other aspect is mediocre at best and downright awful at worst. The acting is so-so, the plot line is overused and tired, the "camera work" is non-existent, and you all know my thoughts about the editing. Unless you want to watch a terribly boring movie with little to no production value, I would advise you just skip this one.

After finding the third Paranormal Activity (PA) movie to be far better than expected,I was pleased to discover that the directors of the third PA had also directed the 4th title in the series,which led to me getting ready to witness the paranormal activity again.The plot:2011:After his mum becomes ill Ben is taken care of by some nearby neighbour. Shortly after Ben moves into the house,objects start to move on their own,and an eerie atmosphere engulfs the house.Wanting to find out what is going on,Alex decides that she will set up cameras all over the house to film what is going on.When the cameras start rolling,Ben decides it is time to unveil his "invisible" friend. View on the film:For their final experience of the paranormal,directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman display a sharp eye for haunted house happening,with Joost & Schulman covering the house in a great mix of murky darkness and neon green,which shatter when the paranormal cross the screen.Showing interest in the ghostly shivers of the film,Joost and Schulman appear less keen on the new direction the series is being taken,as open "tributes" to other Horror titles distract from the attempted change of direction the movie is being taken into.Since the last 2 movies had wrapped up the entire origins,the screenplay by Christopher Landon & Chad Feehan attempts to drag the haunted house into an "evil child" direction.Whilst this route does lead to some good creepy scenes with strange kids,it also undermines everything that had been built up in the first 3 films,thanks to the writers leaving the tense horror for a chance to pull the ghost/demon mythology into limbo.Being the first to suspect that something is up, Kathryn Newton gives a terrific performance as Alex,who Newton threads a quick-witted sense of ingenuity with a spine-tingling fear of the unknown,as Alex meets the paranormal.

I've seen a lot horror and this was by the worst one ever ! No jump scares.. literally nothing happens in the movie and it's all too predictable.It was so dull, I nearly fell asleep ; And I was watching alone! I get that main leads are teens but the line were absolutely cringe-worthy. Considering the first Paranormal activity was my favorite, this was an absolute disappointment , I wish they hadn't made any sequel at all..I think i'm being lenient with the 4. There was no conclusion to the story and No definite supernatural reason as to why any thing happened over the 4 movies, just hints (Not enough to figure the whole thing out).There was nothing in this movie to like. SAD!

If part 2 was more of the same, and part 3 was more of more of the same, then part 4 is more of more of more of the same, adding virtually nothing new to the tried and tested Paranormal Activity formula. Once again, a family are pestered by a demonic force that makes it's presence known by moving assorted household items and stamping its feet; these occurrences coincide with the arrival of a neighbour's child, Robbie (Brady Allen), who stays with the family while his mother is in hospital. When Alex (Kathryn Newton), the teenage daughter of the family, and her boyfriend Ben (Matt Shively) realise that something strange is amiss, they set up the family's computers to record the spooky goings on.Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman then proceed to run through the same old tricks that have served them so well in the previous three films, only this time around the numerous jump scares are even more predictable and rarely have the desired effect. What Paranormal Activity 4 does have going in its favour is its young actress Kathryn Newton, who is extremely pretty and surprisingly talented: she carries the majority of the film, and I believe that she could be a major star. She'll need to distance herself from predictable junk like this in order to do so, though. Here's hoping she gets some better projects in the future.
