    Awesome!

    by

    It was better then the third movie for sure. This one had a lot of scary parts. It kept us on the edge of our seats. I will have to see it again to connect all the parts. In the beginning of the movie, the camera bounces so much it cause's motion sickness. My youngest daughter and I both experienced that. My hubby and oldest daughter had no problems.
    I still have a lot of questions to how everyone and everything connected. However, I believe a movie should leave you guessing. I can't wait for it to come out on dvd so, I can get the answer's I am seeking. I would go back and see it, ten more times. Loved It!

    Paranormal Activity 4

    by NikeNista

    Not nearly as good as Paranormal Activity 1, 2 or 3. Had I known then, what I know now, I would've waited for it to come out on Netflix. IJS...

    What A Horrible Movie Franchise!

    by Dannythree03

    Okay this is my first movie review, I never done this before but I am just angry on how everyone is hyping this movie too much. This movie sucks, some people just get scared too easily. I hope another one is not in the making "Stop The Madness Please". The biggest thrill in this movie is having little kids all around you screaming just because the room is dark and the sound is on full blast. Never again!!! they should have put this movie out straight to dvd/blueray dics. Hate It!!!

    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.

    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!

    Not a shocker, but startling.

    by

    I have seen all of the Paranormal Activity movies. The first one scared me for months. I remember walking into my house and hearing noises, feeling like I was about to get what Micah got.

    The Second, was frightening. I enjoyed the continuation of the story line. I also enjoyed the scares as the movie progressed, with the obvious clear definition between good and evil.

    The Third movie... quite frankly sucked. I watched it once, and was so put off by it I almost didn't see this one, ALMOST.

    I am so glad, I didn't let the third movie keep me from this one. This one was fun on a multitude of levels. I found it humorous in parts, while intensely suspenseful in others. The last 10 minutes of this movie are without a doubt edge-of-your-seat-nail-biting-stressful-screaming out for help type of scary. This is not a KIDS movie by any sense of the word, but it definitely was a fun flick. There are whole to the storyline, but for a 4th movie, this one was pretty good.

    PARALAMO ACTIVITY

    by Super Movie Geek

    SUCKED!!!! Total disapointment to the whole franchise. Yeah it had its moments. In the past few series you had a lot of questions answered but this one just kind of had no plot really and had its spooky scenes and then it ended leaving you hanging like " WTF!!!!!?"

    by karina.mora03

    seriously what is going on with these movies and their crappy endings? i was so excited to go and see this movie and was let down. compared to the first two movies there was A LOT MORE ghostly encounters with this evil spirit and it just seems as though they've given up on giving you a good scare! why even come out with this movie during Halloween time? its a disappointment to Halloween! i give up! PLEASE!!!!!! i need a good Halloween scare!

    Like the Others

    by YourLoss

    If you like the genre enough to keep supporting it, then go. It's no different than the others, and, as usual, all the action happens in the last few minutes. The theater, including myself, was laughing out loud at the "terror" that occurred at the end of the movie. Of course, plenty of loose ends as they are probably making Paranormal 5 as we speak.

    Fun to watch the wife

    by MovieBuffizMe

    I'm not really the "Get scared" type when it comes to scary movies, however Paranormal Activity does deliver a goodly amount of spooks thru the movie. In keeping with the tradition of the franchise, the suspense is great, movie's "scare" pacing builds well towards the climax, and all in all it delivered everything we expect from the "Paranormals"!
    For me however, more enjoyable then the movie pulling away from the screen, and watching the audience reactions to the film. From the first Paranormal activity to this last one, my advice to those the dont really scare during movies is to watch everyone around you instead. Reactions like that are more then worth the price of admission.

    If your a follower

    by tcarrol

    You gotta go see it :
    I don't know why there we're so many negitive reviews on this flim from fans of Paranormal Movies...What did you all expect.
    It's Paranormal. It you remembered # 3 at all, where the hell do ya think they we"re gonna go ?

    You Never really know what to expect "Do You "
    I was not disappointed ,or did I feel ripped off. I liked the family dynamic of this one , not just focused on sisters you hardly saw.
    The camers angles we're good.
    1 to 10 . I give it 8

    As usual there are questions not answered and I always want more shock & chill's from my scary movies,,but over all I would have regetted not seeing # 4 on the big screen.

    Best out of them all, but not the best scary movie ever

    by keithzdogz

    I liked the movie but I wasn't that impressed. Throughout most of the whole movie it kept the same tempo, little scenes that were attempts to scare, some people got scared but I personally wasn't scared at all, I thought the movie would fail... until the very end. It's a very enjoyable movie but not a knock your socks off scary movie. But what I noticed is that there were some parts that were very predictable and some I could not explain how they did, which they do well in every Paranormal Activity. If your a scary movie guy that loves to be scared the hell out of, this is not the movie for you, but if you love creepy scary movies that keep you wondering whats gonna happen next, this is the perfect movie for it. So far the very end was the only very scary moment that really made the movie the best out of all of the others. I say if your around young adult to teenager age, it would be the most enjoyable to see with your friends. All in all it was the best out of all of the Paranormal's.
