A good movie but I was expecting to be more scarier

Rating: 5/10 (13 October 2009)

The movie, Paranormal Activity, is about a boyfriend and a girlfriend, Katie and Micah, taking footage around the house studying some...paranormal activity! But what makes this movie a lot more interesting is that this thing that is haunting poor Katie has been stalking her since she was a child. But according to a psychic, this isn't an ordinary ghost. It's a demon. Ooooohhhh now we're getting somewhere!
Parnormal Activity has its few jumps and shocking scenes but most of the film had.....comedy? What I mean is that the character Micah is not afraid of the demon and constantly mocks it in the most idiotic ways. If Micah was more serious and frightened like his girlfriend, Katie, it could have been better. In my opinion, he pretty much killed the movie.
For the jump scenes, it kind of feels that you know it's coming because before it comes, you'll hear rumbles and thumps. If they took those two sound effects out and just let the "jump" happened in full volume, I would have crapped my pants. Sadly none of the "jump" scenes didn't scare me.
The scenes that kind of freaked me out this most is when Katie gets out of the bed in the middle of the night and just stares at Micah for hours. To me, that is a little bit freaky. But everything else is all mild.
Overall, the movie is good but not scary enough. Everybody is saying "its the new Blair Witch Project," but to me, this movie didn't top the Blair Witch. To be honest, I jumped more from Drag Me to Hell than Paranormal Activity. My advice, go and watch the movie, enjoy it, but I'm warning you that you WILL sleep like baby after you watch this film.
