    I really enjoyed this, suitably creepy, follows in the footsteps of the Blair Witch the way it's shot, so if you weren't a fan of that you may be better off to avoid this.

    A suprising watch and not all that bad. I know the hype machine did its thing for this movie but that was its underlying problem. I would it preferred to come across this by accident as it would of worked better not all all the hype and adverts surrounding it. The film itself is quite slow so for those people that can't sit still for more than 30 mins don't bother looking at this one. When it does get going though it picks up very fast and with each day passing the horror and suspemse is ramped up. The characters play their parts well, theres the unlikable douchebag and the girl next door who seem to have the nice american lifestyle until the paranormal actiivity begins. While its not a great horror film, it does its job of keeping the suspense ongoing and leaving the viewer on edge. Enjoyable flick not so much so on second viewing. Pity Rec(orginal) didt get this type of marketing.

    A good film, that knowing how it was made becomes great. Very scary in parts, glad I watched it Halloween.

    Very scary. The low budget makes the film seem more authentic. Good for freaking you out. See it!!

    Some good scares but of the jump style. Otherwise your usual shaky cam muck. Don't believe the it only cost 50p crap there's at least a few million dollars of post-production on this "Blah" movie.

    Budgeted at a paltry $15,000, Paranormal Activity has gone on to rake in the kind of money that makes careers for the talent involved, and ensures promotions for the executives that bought it. While ridiculously billed as the most terrifying movie of all time, this is still well written and suspenseful stuff that takes its time before escalating into some hugely effective but subtle scares. Those horror fans that are used to the immediate satisfaction of the recent glut of gore-porn titles will find little here to quench their bloodlust, though.

    Although it did scare me it didn't live up to the hype.

    I am the girl in a horror movie who you probably laugh at the one who jumps at the tinyest thing and can be found clawing into the arm of a friend .. this movie was no exception... seriously ... and if you dont get frightened in the cinema just wait till your lying in bed... youll wish you had your childhood teddybear with you...

    Starts a little slow but really builds. Its the anticipation more than anything thats scary. Was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. Recommend seeing it in the cinema for full effect
