An Average Movie-Goer’s Review
No Spoilers! If you want spoilers – check out the Spoiler post
I love horror movies and if I’m going to watch them anyway, why not write an entertaining/funny review from the point of view of an average movie-goer and not a professional critic?
Today we’re looking at 2007’s Paranormal Activity
After a couple start experiencing paranormal activity in their home they discover the thing inhabiting their home may have ties to one of them and targeting the other.
Overall Review:
Unfortunately, like many found footage movies, nothing really happens and you have to sit through boring scenes of nothing in order to get a jump scare. Fortunately this one does it better than others I’ve seen this month since they actually trickle in some good story details during those boring scenes.
The story itself is dragged out because of those boring scenes, the little bit that does happen is interesting but could’ve been fit into a 30 minute show. The characters are also pretty unlikable especially Micah and Katie is a passive protagonist, not really doing anything and letting things just happen.
I wouldn’t say skip this movie but I would say leave it as a last resort unless you like found footage films but even then, this shouldn’t be your first pick.
