Another P.O.V camera movie

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2010)

A couple becomes increasingly disturbed by Paranormal Activity in their home, wow sounds great? The films strong points is that it contains some quality direction by Oren Pel, fantastic plausible natural acting, some skilfully thought out camera work and effective sound effects.
However, it's simply another story told through the eyes of a character, in this case Micah's camera lens. In a nutshell builds up to a big scare at the end (depending on which version you see of the film).
It's over ten years since the 'The Blair Witch Project' used the camera point of view and while Paranormal Activity looks good, is well executed and constructed, it goes over the same old formula. If you enjoyed and were scared by Blair Witch you'll love Paranormal Activity.
That said, if you thought Blair Witch was hyped and shock-less on it's release and you have a preference for REC or Cloverfield, you'll be disappointed.
If you're a big fan of these point of view camera films, and you have to see another this probably isn't it but if you like TV's Most Haunted, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures and the like this may do the trick.
