When a neighbor falls ill, the family agrees to take in her “weirdo” son (Brady Allen) for a few days while she recovers in the hospital. “Paranormal Activity 4” picks up a few years after the original “Paranormal Activity” left off, shifting the focus from haunted sisters Katie (Katie Featherston) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) to a suburban family in Nevada.

After three great installments, the low-budget horror series has finally lost its way.

In contrast, I don’t think I’ve ever been as relaxed during a horror movie as I was during “Paranormal Activity 4.” The scares are theoretically bigger and badder this time around, but sloppy storytelling from directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman undermines any impact they could have had. The original “Paranormal Activity” was terrifying not because it had expensive special effects or excessive amounts of gore, but because director Oren Peli was an expert in tension, to the point of the softest creak of a door hinge could make us jump. The seemingly “authentic” portrayal of real-life ghosts and supernatural phenomena now borders on the mundane and over-used. Yes, I know that Blair Witch was really the one to spark the subgenre, but PA repopularized it.Losing sight of what made the franchise a success in the first place, “Paranormal Activity 4” has sadly fallen into the clichÃ© of repeating the same thing more than once, perpetuating its decline with audiences. But most people took that as an invitation to copy and just create their own found-footage films. Even if you didn't like it, it's hard to dispute the fact that it showed how smaller budget, original horror can be successful. Or people just got tired of Saw.Įither way, many great moments in this film. Like others have said, the marketing campaign was genius and it may have indirectly been the death of the Saw franchise as the replacement October horror film. I actually enjoy the sequels for what they are, but the first film went for true terror and it was pretty successful. Like Saw, the original PA film is a really good movie on its own. A great original film that often gets lumped in with its sequels and dismissed by most people without much thought. I'm always reminded of Saw with Paranormal Activity. Cause if people say the sequels are bad I don't even want to know how bad they are to me. The mainstream audiences view it as a modern horror classic? I know some people say that the sequels have tarnished the reputation of the first movie but I thought the first movie was already terrible, haven't bothered with the sequels. I'm not sure what's the general view on it. That is not 'building atmosphere', these movies are the movie version of those rides at theme parks where 'creepy' things jump at you. Nothing happens, people walk around and then a BOOM LOUD FUCKING NOISE OUT OF NOWHERE x repeat for 90 minutes. I guess I can see why some people would enjoy these kind of movies but they're not for me at all.

I watched it on TV couple years after it had came out and I was just horribly bored. I did not watch it when it came out because I thought it was just going to be a terrible, cheap studio horror movie with cheap scares. This movie had a really good marketing campaign. It's a good first viewing, but repeats are not so hot.Īlso, very much drunk, so excuse the bad writing. The things that make me love a horror film - fun characters, a good plot, a thought-provoking premise, etc.

That film was great the first time because it had a respectable ramping of scares, but it lost that effectiveness after one or two viewings. whereas current movies are so much cgi and flash. 80s films, although also not scary after the first couple viewings, have something to focus on - ridiculous premises, likable characters, practical effects, etc.

My love of horror strays towards the 80s because those films were unrestrained and uninhibited by cgi and the upgraded visual quality of current movies, plus they were more imaginative. While PA was scary the first or second time - especially with a susceptible crowd - like most films, it loses it's effectiveness after a couple viewings. That said, I have a problem with most recent horror films. I think Paranormal Activity is, by far, the most thrilling theater experience I've ever had.
