Paranormal Activity Review

Sat Nov 7, 2009, 2:05 PM
Went to see this yesterday...and it wasn't bad. SCARIEST HORROR FILM OF ALL TIME??!! Hell no. It was just okay. Scariest horror film in the last ten years? Possibly...but that is reeaaaally sad if you think about it.

I give it a 6½/10.

There were a good amount of creepy scenes, and shows how subtlety works so much better than the in-your-face ridiculous crap seen in most modern day horror movies. Drag Me To Hell was good, but it is entertaining, funny, Army of Darkness-esque horror. Totally on a different level with me...

However...I think this movie could've remained subtle and still had more. In place of more terror, we get a few eye-rolling, corny plot devices and tedious interactions between the two main characters that are way too dragged out. (Though both actors did a good job. Especially the main actress, when she screamed and got terrified you really believed it and got chills sent down your spine. Well done, miss.)

As for the ending: LAME. It really screamed "crappy 2009 horror film". I could've dealt with that ending better if it wasn't so....obvious? Don't get me wrong, the girl's scream was absolutely horrifying, but everything after....pfft.

So yes...a decent horror film, but still could've taken things a few steps farther and REALLY shown us what horror can be all about. Has this helped revive the genre, though? I don't think so...but perhaps it's now on life support. =P
