amateurish and lame

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2009)

What a lame movie!! For gosh sakes!!! I kept looking at my watch all the time!! I kept asking myself 'when is going to start?" I laughed at every 'scary' scene.
The lack of common sense of the characters is all over. If a demon grasp my leg and drag me through the hallway of my house I can guarantee you that I'll be running away from the house at light speed. I'll not be returning to my bedroom to cry on the floor. Ridiculous!! Reminded me of the terrible 'The Hunting in Conneticut' Movies like 'Blair Witch Project' and more recent movies like 'Rec'('Quarantine') or even 'The Decent'(which uses a hand-held camera in some scenes) where a lot more effective creating horror and spooky moments. So far 'Rec' is my favorite hand-held-camera-horror movie.
The main problem with 'Paranormal Activity' is the lack of inventiveness or creativity. Moving doors, moving flowers, strange shadows, burning Ouijas, loud food steps. All I saw was cheap special effects. Did you see the lame exorcism video the boyfriend found on the internet? Instead of been spooky it was cheap.
I was hopping that the video footage had some sort of hidden mystery; something else was recorded that we did not see because we where fixated looking at the moving doors, moving flowers, strange shadows, burning Ouijas, loud food steps. I was hoping for something similar to the Thai movie 'Shutter'.
I think the demon in the movie comes from Spain and is haunting the getting-a-minor-in-Spanish girl for misspeaking the only Spanish sentence in the movie 'Yo quiero estar una maestra' instead of 'Yo quiero ser una maestra'
Anyway I found the movie overrated amateurish and lame
