Maybe it doesn't help that I don't believe in ghosts

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2019)

I've somehow managed to make it to 2019 without seeing the hugely popular and widely discussed 'Paranormal Activity'. I'd heard lots about this film, mostly positive, but for one reason or another never got round to seeing it until now. To say I was disappointed by 'Paranormal Activity' would be an understatement, in fact by the time the credits rolled I was questioning whether I had watched the same film as those who had raved about it.
To me this is just a bog-standard ghost story, and a pretty boring one at that. Those with an active interest in ghosts and the supernatural would probably get some enjoyment out of this film, but it certainly wasn't for me. I kept waiting for it to pick up and for some genuinely frightening scenes that justified the hype, but they never arrived. Instead it was an hour and a half of (no so) creepy surveillance footage and the occasional jump scare, which you could always see coming.
