I thought the acting in this film was mostly really good, but, probably just owing to personal preference, the premise didn't really draw me in. It took a very long time for anything to happen, which could maybe have built tension effectively had I been more emersed but it didn't happen for me. Still, impressively cheap to make such a high-grossing film.

I have not seen the last few frames of this movie. I had to cover my eyes...

Feels like it was made for the theater experience - even more so than Blair Witch. The ending is vastly inferior to the aforementioned as well and the character of Micah is just insufferable. I can't get into it much.

This movie relies entirely on jump scares and loud noises. Not at all entertaining, and starring the two most unlikeable people on the planet. About 15 minutes in, I wanted the ghost to just kill both of them already so I could go home.

3- not worth your time, not good :: Nothing scares people like boredom, apparently.

Falls into the pitfalls of ever so many films in the found footage genre of spending half the film talking about the camera and filming. The first hour of this pointless waffle does nothing to set up an atmosphere and only leaves you bored for the last 30 mins of the film when events finally begin to unfold.

Boring, but still had moments that messed with your mind a bit.

One of the best, most original horror films ever made. One of the most terrifying and suspenseful too.

Cute horror. Something about the lack of aesthetics and the everyday feeling it has is almost special.

Genuinely scary and on no budget.

Any film-maker can employ darkness, bumps in the night and screams to get a jump out of their audience. It's one of the simplest tricks. You have to add something more to the formula to make it worth watching, and Paranormal Activity fails to. For the most part it's boring and stupid, and the camera thing gets tired after a few minutes. I can't believe anybody liked it.

I cant say I didnt enjoy this film .. it was OK, but the fact that there were three endings made ( of which they chose one for no obvious reason ! ) shows in essence, the problem with the film ... it doesnt REALLY know where it is going. Most of the scares are created by thudding noises off screen, which, well ... get a bit boring to say the least ..... For a horror film to be completely free of horror rather defeats the object of 90 minutes hoping to be horrified !!

It is genre which little can done today...but this movie reopens meaning thrill...and with how many material efforts...impressed.

Nothing that really sticks to the bones, but seeing this with a bunch of screaming, crying teenage girls several of whom had to leave the theater during the climactic scene was one of the great cinematic experiences of my life. Obviously, I doubt that will translate well to video.

A bit of a slow start, but it started getting pretty scary in the last half an hour. Ending was okay, it was too much like a cheap scare though.

I'm finding this one a bit difficult to score, in terms of the film the score is about right, but I'd notch the score up a bit in terms of the potential in the concept. As far as exploiting a niche in the horror industry it's hard to fault and the slow build in tension is a welcome break from cheap shocks techniques. The dealbreaker is most likely how polished you want a film like this to be, as it stands this one is a budget example likely to spawn quite an expanded franchise.
