Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Good movie good jump scares I would watch it again

Great instalment in the Paranormal Activity series. I personally like it just as much as the first three films but it is the first one that doesn't have the sisters (Katie or Christie) as the main character, this one moves to the next generation with Hunter.The movie contains are the familiar Paranormal Activity quirks including jumps and frights and home-video style camera work - the things that characterise the Paranormal Activity films.Great, scary, worth a watch.

This franchise continues, but I don't think it is getting any better. It has been about five years since Katie(Katie Featherston)went on her last rampage. Well, since the horrible entity inside showed what it is capable of. The young psychotic and the homicidal spirit that resides in her will have a new set of victims, as new neighbors move in down the street. A mysterious Alex(Kathryn Newton), her husband Ben(Matt Shively)and young son Wyatt(Alden Lovekamp)settle in their new home just a few houses down from Katie. The newcomers begin to experience hard to explain, let alone understand, activities in and around them. Just taking a bath or walking down a dark hall gives one second thoughts. Yes, there is terror and violence...and paranormal activity! Also in the cast: Brady Allen, Alexandria Lee, Alisha Boe and Stephen Dunham.

And so here we have the latest installment of the Paranormal Activity series, but unfortunately, this fourth one isn't as good as the other three.With this latest film we have fast-forwarded 5 years from the events that happened in Paranormal Activity 2 (this 4th film isn't a direct sequel to the 3rd movie) and we see what has become of baby Hunter and his "adopted" mother. Now, while there are some genuinely creepy moments in this film, they are actually quite lacking as they didn't have the same effect and punch as the scares in the other three movies.In saying that, however, I was pretty impressed with the scenes that involved the X-Box Kinect receiver during night-vision, and you actually got some of the best scares during those scenes as well I felt. Also, there's a pretty good (if somewhat slightly confusing) wee twist towards the end as well.The characters in the movie are all done pretty well, but they do get a bit annoying at times (some more than others), but one of the better characters was that of Robbie (played creepily by Brady Allen). Upon first viewing of him you have a kind of "poor wee misunderstood soul" feeling towards him, but that most definitely changes as the movie goes on. Katie was also much more creepy (and vicious) in this movie as well than any of the other installments.So, overall while I wasn't TOO disappointed with this latest installment, I think it could have been done better. It's still worth watching though, especially if you like the Paranormal Activity films.
