An Okay Movie

Rating: 3/10 (18 October 2009)

I am a huge fan of horror movies, I love them. When I first heard of Paranormal Activity I was excited to see it, then I began to read the reviews and the hype about how terrifying of a movie it was and I was overwhelmed; I was dying to see it. I had that chance Friday night and I came out disappointed. The first 20 or so minutes of the movie is very dull, it then slowly begins to pick up and continues to pick up until the end of the movie. I disagree in that this movie is the scariest movie since the Exorcist or the scariest movie of all times. It was a mediocre movie at best, I definitely did not find it to be terrifying and left disappointed after reading so much hype about the movie.
A friend I was with, also a huge horror movie fan, actually drifted off to sleep a couple of times during the movie. It definitely wasn't worth the $10 I paid for the tickets.
