Paranormal Activity was much scarier

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2011)

I don't understand why everyone is saying this film is so amazing.
Insidious is just a typical commercial horror film with cameras everywhere, bad acting, too many over the top (and cheesy) special/sound effects and a lame story - particularly the convenient last minute rescue by the kid's dad, and the predictable ending (you'll have it figured out by the halfway mark).
I thought Paranormal Activity was much scarier because they kept it simple - you only got to see what the main characters record on their camcorder, there's no major special effects or soundtrack, and no bad acting. This produced a better atmosphere, more tension and a more believable, scarier film. Plus you had no idea how it was going to end.
