Beautiful, moving film.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Good movie good jump scares I would watch it again

If part 2 was more of the same, and part 3 was more of more of the same, then part 4 is more of more of more of the same, adding virtually nothing new to the tried and tested Paranormal Activity formula. Once again, a family are pestered by a demonic force that makes it's presence known by moving assorted household items and stamping its feet; these occurrences coincide with the arrival of a neighbour's child, Robbie (Brady Allen), who stays with the family while his mother is in hospital. When Alex (Kathryn Newton), the teenage daughter of the family, and her boyfriend Ben (Matt Shively) realise that something strange is amiss, they set up the family's computers to record the spooky goings on.Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman then proceed to run through the same old tricks that have served them so well in the previous three films, only this time around the numerous jump scares are even more predictable and rarely have the desired effect. What Paranormal Activity 4 does have going in its favour is its young actress Kathryn Newton, who is extremely pretty and surprisingly talented: she carries the majority of the film, and I believe that she could be a major star. She'll need to distance herself from predictable junk like this in order to do so, though. Here's hoping she gets some better projects in the future.

I really enjoyed the first PA, and have generally enjoyed, though not as much, the next 2 installments. Which brings me to number 4. Despite how good the original was, if you keep doing it over and over, it starts to get watered down. Unfortunately, that's where we are with this series. If you liked the previous ones, like I did, then you'll probably at least enjoy this one, like I did. But, it's starting to lose it's luster.As with the previous PAs, to get any enjoyment out of this one you first have to suspend your belief that most normal families are getting the hell out of there after numerous paranormal activities. After a chandelier comes crashing down, followed by a knife dropping from the ceiling that narrowly misses someone, all the while there are other various noises and weird things happening, etc....this family, for their own convenient reasons, cant seem to put it together that something odd is going on. Keep in mind, all this is being recorded as we're watching the footage after the fact. So, if you can suspend that belief and enjoy the movie for what it is, you'll enjoy it that much more. If you're one of those that harps on petty things like that, not understanding that this is just a movie for entertainment purposes only, then you're just wasting your time watching these.PA4 picks up 5 years after the second one. It follows the same formula as the previous ones, as were watching recordings of what's happening. Isn't it so convenient that these families are able to get such great footage? LOL The scares are generally similar. The acting's decent, and this series does a pretty good job of character development, as we always see the main characters in various activities throughout the house. Even the house cat gets his fair share of air time in this one. And Robbie, the kid that moves in next door and spends time with the family, is really odd and makes some really strange comments that would have made me very uncomfortable to be around.And, unfortunately, like the previous PAs, the ending was anticlimactic to me. Personally, Katie walking around like a zombie and wasting people isn't really that scary to me. There just isn't that much suspense. It's like they spent all this time building up to the finish, and then they just rush through it.While the first one is by far the best of the lot so far, if you've like the PA series, then you'll most likely see enough in this one to like it. However, I just don't know how many more times they can keep running the same movie out there.

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.
