With a name like pooh im not surprised you loved it, its just like one of them fake ghost videos on utube but a hell of a lot longer, when i watch movies like this i cant help but think fake fake fake, personally i preffer a movie with a lot more effort like insideous or poltergeist, something with more imagination

This film didn’t rely on the loud scary music and the awful gore, so much as the mystery and the air of anticipation. I thought it was great. I think horror movie makers should look at this movie as an example of how to scare someone, rather than gross them out.

I picked up the DVD on sale and decided to give it a go. I thought it was an intelligent low-budget movie that played on anxieties and vulnerabilities. The male lead was an annoying slef-serving know-it-all prick (I didn’t see alpha-male machismo or heroic jock); but I think he nailed that character and I enjoyed the fact that he annoyed me. Overall, it was a refreshing change from the torture porn that is passing for horror movies these days (SAW, Hostel, The Strangers, etc..). I like the reviews from 12 and 13 year old kids (if indeed they are), and feel bad that they didn’t find this movie creepy. Maybe I’m from a different era where playing “Ghosts in the Graveyard” in the pitch-black woods by my parents cabin was as terrifying as what you allowed your imagination to succumb to.

I loved this movie. I watched with my partner in the dark not knowing what to expect.

If you go in with an open mind I think you come away pleased. We did and we got a scare into the bargin.

I don’t think kids should watching it, but that’s another point. I guess that’s down to the parents at the end of the day.

I got a scare from all 3, and having watched a lot of horror movies, I think I can say that this was one of the best psychological horrors in a while.

I wish some film makers would take note of the fact that there isn’t always a need for a gore fest to try and scare people.

Loved it. And people please, stop complaining. No one held a gun to your head and MADE you pay for that ticket so shut up. Personally, I thought it was great. Can’t wait until #4!

[...] The first Paranormal Activity was a seemingly simple little movie made for $11,000, and then by some miracle spared a big budget remake and released a year ago as made (with a slight change to the original ending). It was one of those movies that people either “got” and loved, or didn’t, and hated. [...]

I have seen almost all horror movies – real horror movies not gory ones. I do get freaked out a bit but not really scared – psycho, exorcist, the omen, ring, grudge and all the movies in between that have been mentioned in the discussion. This by far was the scariest. Just the first part though. Second part not as much. The best part about it was they havent shown anyone scary. Its just the sound effects and the couple freaking out with the progressively scary events in the house. Not sure why people hate this movie if they like the horror genre.. The Haunting — c’mon. I got bored in that movie. Great movie.

I don’t see how this movie could scare anyone. I am more content with watching A Haunting. There is much better acting on that show.

I give Paranormal Activity 4.5/5! This is not a traditional horror film by any means and if you went to watch to get scared to the level you’d wet your pants or run out of the cinema, then it’s a huge disappointment. I’ve watched ‘A Haunting’, ‘The Grudge’ so it doesn’t scare me at all. Still, I’m impressed by everything else about it! ‘Blair Witch’ and ‘Cloverfield’ made me sick!

I agree totally with Charley. I didn’t realize the type of movie it was until I got it and started watching. When it started I was like “oh crap, one of those low budget, predictable, lame movies, and a documentary at that.” Luckily I only wasted a dollar as I got it from Redbox. Very thankful for this website as I read these reviews to see if it gets any better before deciding to continue wasting my time watching. Soooo boring. Turned it off and watched Sons of Anarchy instead.
I saw more than what happened in this movie in my own home growing up and at my grandmas. We messed with ouija boards and some wierd stuff happened. Much more exciting than anything in this movie.
Take my word, this sucks and is not worth watching.
I don’t get why anyone liked it.

[...] People are still split over Paranormal Activity, but I’m betting that enough people love this franchise and will be intrigued enough by this latest chapter to make the movie a successful venture. Especially if the studio once again kept the production budget on the cheap side – easy money to be made, and we might even get an enjoyable film, to boot. [...]
