Paranormal Activity was nothing short of disappointing...

Rating: 4/10 (22 October 2009)

After seeing the trailer for Paranormal Activity, I HAD to see it. So, I went to see this allegedly horrifying movie with 10 of my friends, all of which went into the movie confident that it was not going to scare them, however I went in nervous... and I don't get scared by movies. Ironically, I was one of the few that had left unshaken, I had only flinched once during the movie and I will not disclose when so that I won't spoil anything for those of you who haven't seen it yet. I saw it as extremely predictable, and simply just NOT enough of a movie, although I must admit it was VERY well done; the acting was superb and it was a very interesting idea, just not done originally at ALL. This movie was most certainly not what I expected it to be, there was not enough truly terrifying aspects of this movie, and those damn 13 yr olds that managed to sneak into the theater in groups of 10 that happened to scream bloody murder during EVERY scene most certainly didn't make the experience more enjoyable... The responses to Paranormal Activity are generally black and white (from what I have seen): you either love it, or hate it. Disregarding what "I" thought about the movie, you should give it a shot, you may end up loving it.
