    Same Scares but will still make you jump

    by

    ok. you know the formula to the Paranormal Activity series. This movie is no different but it's still going to make you jump in your seat at times. The movies got some good laughs to lighten the mood at key points. Overall, if you've seen the previous movies in the series, you shouldn't miss out. Also, this one you're guaranteed to jump a few times. if you don't, you're probably not enjoying yourself and trying to be a tough guy. get into the movie people!

    Jumps and Thrills, on a Crashing Coaster

    by

    I saw Paranormal Activity 1-3, and I was hooked from the start. I loved the "found-footage" aspect to the movies and I was also intrigued by the background story, so I decided to watch the fourth Paranormal Activity. Sadly, the story-line barely inched forward and nothing remarkably new was introduced. Thankfully, the filmmaker added plenty of moments where I was pressed into the back of my seat, waiting for something to jump out or rush across the camera. The director did a great job with the suspense factor, and I think that this is what the film should be recognized for. As for acting, Katie did a great job acting possessed, and Kathryn Newton seemed genuinely frightened. Brady Allen and Aiden Lovekamp were great additions to the screen as well. In the end, I just wish that the director expounded on the background story more and finished off the series. This is probably the last one I'll see.

    Horrible!!!!

    by rileylloyd24

    The ending was absolutely horrible and nothing about the movie was scary. At most I laughed at the people at made this. I guess there was a reason why we were the only people there.

    If you have the money why not!?

    by

    It was a pretty good movie, but it was definitely not worth going all the way the the theater and paying 11.50 for it. Like all the previous paranormal activity movies, they always wait right up until the very last 10 minutes or so to get super scary! This film attempts to do the same thing, but the last couple of seconds left me more with questions rather than scared. Then again I'm not sure if maybe that's what the director intended so that we could go see the next film. But Since I've seen all 4 in theater, I have to go see the 5th one (if there is one). I had way to many questions at the end of paranormal activity 4 to not go. The scary scenes throughout the movie are almost predictable but still have their own little twist so their still kind of good, but if you like having questions at the end of a movie then this is a must go!

    Great movie franchise

    by David4168941

    Great movie franchise but the ending of this movie kind of sucks... Leaves you guessing what's next and you have to wait one more year for the next one. Not as scary as he first but so so movie.

    Slow starting but really good

    by Cambion7

    As with the other movies in this series, it's a slow starter. The producers had a lot of fun with the different techniques for getting the audience to react. Some parts you kind of laugh when you are startled due to how they did it, but it's still a good gotcha movie. The last couple of minutes are perhaps the best.

    Paranormal Activity 4

    by Jeannie hoppock

    The movie was excellent. Great cliff hanger at the end. Makes you want to see them make movie number 5. I loved it. It did start a little slow like number one did but the tension built up very fast. You must see this movie.

    Paranormal Activity 4

    by Epicwes

    My wife and I don't get to see movies very often, and she really wanted to see a scary movie. So we went to Paranormal Activity 4, and she has yet to see her scary movie. This movie, like the others, draws out for almost an hour before anything interesting happens, and even then it is disappointing.

    No major activity.

    Horrible actors.

    Deaths were VERY unoriginal and uneventful, serious? Snapped neck and fall from ceiling? Really?

    The ending, oh it gets worse they have really ruined this block of movies for good!

    1/10

    Terrible....

    by chubby22

    Don't waste your money on this movie. If you thought the ending to PA3 was bad, your definitely not going to like this one either! There were a few laughs, nothing that scary at all, and the majority of the action happens in the last 15-20 minutes of the movie. I even found myself rooting for the demon to take out the Mom the first, how annoying she was... I know I will definitely not see another one of these installments. Very disappointed...

    Paranormal Actvity 4

    by

    This movie is awesome. If you saw the secrets unlocked in Activty 3, then you will definately want to see this one. Saw it last night and loved every second of it. Some parts were funny, but don't let that fool you. That is just a break from the sequence to follow. That is all I'm going to say. If you want to know more well just go see the movie.

    Wait till the end !!

    by Cash4houses

    I wont spoil it for everyone . I am a big fan of these movies. I have to say the 4th chapter is a little different than the others. I heard mixed reviews when I was leaving the theatre but lets put it this way, when it was over I actually heard people cheering and clapping ( in a good way) !! I have never heard that in a movie theatre.

    Decent movie...

    by netbry

    1. I think they have got everything they can possibly get out of this franchise
    2. Don't know if this is by design but none of the scary scenes in the previews are part of the movie - including the ghostly image on the poster; I was looking forward to the: "Back door open, front door open, side door open scene."
    3. Pretty slow till the very end.

    Check it out!

    by criticizer_43857623

    If you are a fan of scary movies then this is a must see. Had my predispositions about it but turned out to be really good. Definitely the best out of the four of them. And don't forget to stay for after the credits because there is some footage they display after all the credits role.

    Paranormal4activity

    by Warmoviefan

    THE BLOND STAR WAS BEAUTIFUL. THE MOVIE WAS BORING AND DRAGGED-ON. THE ENDING (LAST 15 MINUTES) WAS FAIRLY EXCITING. THE PRODUCTION COSTS COULD NOT HAVE EXCEEDED $88.00.
