Sadly Over-hyped

Fantastic!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Let's be honest this film sucks, I enjoyed the third and hoped that they'd have built on the positive elements of that one, but instead of moving g the franchise forward they took it back hugely.The first few minutes were watchable, Robbie seemed to have a certain quirkiness that you felt could be developed into something, but it didn't, managing to watch the film without yawning or playing with your phone would be a good effort, it truly fails to engage the viewer.The scares are virtually non existent, they've all been done before and are clumsily delivered, at no point do you feel on edgeWhy was Robbie even allowed to stay with them? Did nobody even question this child's moving in with virtual strangers. Katie Featherston tries her best but is up against it. The house is nice........A shocker. Nothing actually happens.

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) Starring:Katie Featherston, Kathryn Newton, Matt Shively, Aiden Lovekamp, Brady Allen, Stephen Dunham, Alexondra Lee, Georgica Pettus, Alisha Boe, and Brendon Eggertsen Directed by Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Review It's closer than you think This had the writers and the directors of the last film which was the only good entire in this entire series and yet this movie managed to suck eggs, alright here we go again. Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic here and my god I don't know what to say about this piece of shriek. Because I freaking hate paranormal activity, I liked the last film as it was the only one with actual effort put into it but the others were complete crap. They consist of cameras videotaping retarded people that we don't care about as some invisible demon slams doors and moves bed sheets for two hours. If that's all you have going for you in your film then you have a lot of balls even calling it a film in the first place! The third at least had enjoyable characters,genuine scares,clever camera angles, and a way of integrating the demon that was not ingenious but also made sense. So yeah there's that one acceptable film but other that this series sucks! We have a fourth film and despite having the team of the last film it manages to be horrendous not as tedious or boring as the first two but still just as stupid. Paranormal Activity 4 follows a random family that had nothing to do with the other movies as the demon starts to stalk them. Why and how you ask, well I'm going try to explain this as simply as I can that crazy lady who took hunter at the end of part two is living on the street with a boy that isn't Hunter but for more then half the film were made to believe it's hunter until the boy for some reason dis sappers despite being the creepiest part of the film. When we learn this new retarded family adopted son is the real Hunter, which begs the question of how this possessed dummy lost Hunter in the first place and managed to end up with this family for some reason and now has to sacrifice a virgin which we can all tell is his adopted sister. It's pretty vague and you might not understand and the sister keeps recording everything on her laptop camera and when stuff starts happening going down in the house but her family doesn't believe her and yells at her a lot as she doesn't show them the footage on her laptop because she's a moron and she's got this boyfriend who's much more annoying then she is and he gets his necked snap by the possessed dummy who lives across the street during a bad camera angle and the movie ends with a demonic neighborhood army the possessed dummy eats the sisters face as the screen turns to black, leaving the entire audience unsatisfied. There I just described the whole movie for you in the most coherent way I possibly could, this was one big load of ass! Unlike the first two films it has a thread of a plot but nothing goes anywhere I basically had to trade more bad for less bored, I was bored in many scenes but at least the sheer stupidity of this made me laugh occasionally. There were really only three good things in this movie that creepy kid whose name I can't pronounce, secondly the one sequence were the possessed dummy runs at the blonde bimbo that was pretty creepy and I thought the XBOX dots were kind of a nice concept they barely did anything with it but the idea was just cool. Everything else is just garbage, the acting sucks, the characters are freaking idiots and the scares are barley there. It's just one bad consist thing after another there is hardly a damn thing to enjoy here and what I did enjoy was incredibly minor. I heard that there the marked ones and five and soon maybe six, NO!No more of this stuff no more! This franchise learned from there mistakes in part three but now it is right back where it started with this one. Give it up I am sick of this franchise what baffles me is that this the one universally hated by critics where were you people when the first two films were released I don't get you. The good thing is at least I saw this film for free on my Xbox. Overall here's what I've been trying to tell you since part one of this franchise I can't tell you what to watch all the time cause I doubt you listen but the point is your being hornswaggled, your being bamboozeled, your being tricked into going to see something you've already seen before and your being ripped off! Now listen to me if I can just stop two of you from seeing this movie then I will feel like I've done my job but if I can't do that then I got two words for you, Screw you, screw you, screw you! I give this piece of shriek a one and a half out of five.

You have to be scared of your own shadow to be scared of your own shadow to be scared off this movie. Most of it is just bad actors screaming in the dark. Good special effects but by the time you see something there is less then a minute left. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. In the 80's and 90's They made horror movies really scary. Now they just make horror movie to scary people who are scared of there own shadow. There a lot of horror movies from the 79's that are scary. The early exorcist movies are very scary. The late exorcist movies are scarier. Those are best of the new horror movies. But to many horror movie made now a days that are just made scary people you are scared of there own shadow this movie not scary it is very lame.

This franchise continues, but I don't think it is getting any better. It has been about five years since Katie(Katie Featherston)went on her last rampage. Well, since the horrible entity inside showed what it is capable of. The young psychotic and the homicidal spirit that resides in her will have a new set of victims, as new neighbors move in down the street. A mysterious Alex(Kathryn Newton), her husband Ben(Matt Shively)and young son Wyatt(Alden Lovekamp)settle in their new home just a few houses down from Katie. The newcomers begin to experience hard to explain, let alone understand, activities in and around them. Just taking a bath or walking down a dark hall gives one second thoughts. Yes, there is terror and violence...and paranormal activity! Also in the cast: Brady Allen, Alexandria Lee, Alisha Boe and Stephen Dunham.
