Paranormal Activity

A mediocre college project full of plagarism

Review by unknown, on 25-Nov-2009

I'm a bit dumbfounded @ the reviews this movie has gotten - a lot of good reviews. Much much better horror/scary/thriller movies have gotten worse reviews.

This film would be a good college project, but fails as a feature film. Just about ALL of the "scares" are taken right from the movies The Grudge and The Exorcist.

I went with women who are usually easily scared and we all came out of the movie a little annoyed. It's unoriginal, uninteresting, low budget, and the viral marketing and good reviews it has only leads me to suspect that the production company has hired one of the best PR firms around and bribed the critics, or modern Americans prefer cheaply made college project films that steal ideas from original movies.
