Featured reviews
As many have already staten... this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the other Paranormal activity movies what so ever! It features no elements from the other movies, other than found footage and demonic possesion! Though nobody would probsbly watch it if it wasn't called "Paranormal activity"
The movie itself is far from the worst, but also far from the best! The story is not that interesting and very predictable! The characters are also flat and boring with little personality! Instead the most memorable part of the movie is that it has some creepy disturbing scenes and it does scare you a couple of times! It gets points for that! Though some of the scenes feel stupid as they revolve around the characters acting as dumb as possible! The climax is also intens though even if it continues the trend og stupid characters!

I might be somewhat biased cause I enjoy Eubank's works to a certain extent. I think he's consistently almost a good director. The Signal was an interesting starting project, Underwater was too rushed and too focused on Steward though.
As for the PA franchise, I watched 2 or 3 of these when there was a hype going on, but as it went on it grew old fast so I eventually dropped it.
I don't know if this one follows the story or is a standalone film, but as far as these go, it was ok.
I enjoyed its atmosphere, the overall look, and, surprisingly enough, the dated found-footage gimmick was certainly used well in this.
Obviously, the movie loses a lot if you just ask yourself "why are they still filming?", but in this installment, they seem to mix found footage with a couple of cinematic shots. I actually think that this is a good idea, not wholly original though, since I've seen this done in REC 3: Genesis.
Yes, it was predictable and very reminiscent of the first REC or Quarantine, but all the good stuff I mentioned earlier was enough for me to watch it.
I think that for a franchise this stretched it was an ok addition.
Fans of the franchise might not enjoy it, horror fans might find it too predictable, but it is certainly watchable for the least.

Except name there is nothing even remotely close to the original franchise , saying that , it is a very decent found footage horror film. Kept me interested right to the end .Nothing really special , but definitely worth to watch once !
I mean it's not bad, it creates a good found footage atmosphere a few elements are just a bit too cheesy and some of the shots detract from the ambiance. Maybe 15 min less chopping some of the cheesiest parts and a few of the camera cuts would have made this a really decent movie. As it stands it's kinda long. It's still entertaining enough and just creepy enough to make a good watch for the Halloween weekend.
This franchise was loved or hated by the fans. Still it was original in it's concept and due teens being afraid of the first entry it became a succes.
So 14 years after number one we are left with this one. Why it's called paranormal activity is still a riddle for me. It's more about some myth surrounding the Amish and it's there that the story starts. A crew staying at home with an Amish family but they have a secret.
The score used is the same as in the franchise. But it isn't a found footage like the franchise was all about.
It isn't bad at all, do has some scary parts but another title would have been better.
Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5.
