It feels like it's trying too hard to be scary

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2018)

Paranormal Activity definitely has a creepy feel, but at times it feels like it's trying too hard to be scary. They use sounds and simple special effects to create an eerie mood, but then the mood is shattered by some bad acting or a cheesy "Boo!" moment. Worth a watch, but don't expect Blair Witch quality.
