Well... It's not the scariest film ever made.

Rating: 3/10 (5 September 2011)

Just a quick summary of the film: After moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.
Okay, If like me, you have seen the trailers and the ads for Paranormal Activity, you see the audience jumping and hiding behind friends or clothes. Then a man says in a deep voice "One of the scariest films ever made" and I watched it thinking "oh my god, I'm going to sleep with the lights on" or "I'm going to s*** myself" and after I thought "What the fudge is this?" but thinking about it, I can understand why people were jumping or hiding behind clothes but honestly, "Coraline" or "The Corpse Bride" or "The nightmare before Christmas" is scarier. Okay, back to the story. Paranormal Activity is about a couple living in a house, thinking there is some sort of demon there and the husband or boyfriend "Micah" videotapes his experiments and their experiences. That's right ladies and gentleman, it is like the "Blair Witch project". Now, this film is very tense I'm not going to deny that but it is not scary and that's what a horror is supposed to be. WARNING, THIS IS A SPOILER! WARNING THIS IS A SPOILER! near the end, that's where it gets jumpy. I wouldn't say scary but jumpy. I credit the film makers though as the way it was filmed was smart (even though there is mistakes easily spotted). And the acting wasn't to bad as well, considering that it must of been hard to be the center of the film without a lot of co-stars. The ads and the trailers murdered this film I think and it did not live up to the hype for me (especially when the guy with the deep voice in the ad said "this horror would go down in history" or something like that, its should not be in the same list as the exorcism, the others, SAW 1, Shutter, Trick r treat, let the right one in and many more) A very tense film but not scary,
