Creative but not worth the time

Rating: 2/10 (9 February 2010)

I had heard nothing good about Paranormal Activity and I must say that remains to be true. I am not a die-hard horror fan but I do enjoy a good suspenseful scare.
And that is not what Paranormal Activity is, interesting yes, but scary no. While the acting was sometimes good it was mostly bland and it didn't seem realistic at all. The few exceptions to this were a couple of the "action" scenes in which I could actually emphasize with the characters.
If you want a good scare then in my opinion try Signs, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, or The Village. While they aren't the blood and gore type they did make me cringe on more than one occasion.
