Pure Crap!

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 2009)

Those two words quite accurately summarize this ridiculous excuse for a "horror" film. Poorly paced, abysmally acted, and completely unoriginal, "Paranormal Activity" fails to deliver even modest scares. The film blatantly rips off other (better) entries in the genre, and even the "lost footage" concept (a cheap gimmick to begin with) is stolen from another similarly hyped, AWFUL movie. It amazes me how so many people seem to find this movie worthy of any praise, whatsoever. The marketing of the film was sensational, I will admit, but as a horror-film lover, it truly saddens me to think of how many folks were actually paid off to give good reviews of this piece of fecal matter. Don't waste your time...
