Make sure you take a gravol before you go if you get motion sickness easy. If you like watching a movie via a shaky video camera then go fill your boots.

This movie sucked. It was boring until the last scene which was practically the only "activity" in this movie and by then it was definitely too late, it wasn't worth it. Nothing happened for the majority of the movie and like I said it sucked like Paris Hilton on a rainbow swirl lollypop. Never see this movie.

If you're into horror movies, this is the one to see. It's the best horror movie I've seen in a long, long time. I'll admit I was a little paranoid when I got home that day, haha.

What sets this movie apart from your generic slash em' up, blood soaked fright fests, is the realistic approach to the subject matter and how it was filmed. The story plays out in the simplistic form of a documentary. Two young lovers trying to capture on film what is haunting the young woman during the wee hours of the night... The suspense was brilliantly posed. The slow burn of anxiety that smolders until the dramatic ending, keeps the viewer on edge with anticipation. The wait is palpable and worth it... Was it Oscar worthy? No... was it entertaining? Yes... if you enjoy a fright that is all about the unknown and chock full of raw emotion, then you will enjoy this endeavor!

I agree with "naruto", kinda planned on saying the same thing. You have to have belief in this stuff, or at least high interest because if not, if youre just a fan of the horror, then it will leave you coming to this site, saying it sucked. The beginning was slow but it got more in depth. When the night came, I found my heart beating like "oh crap, whats gonna happen this time? " definitely a movie to see for the people interested in demons, dark spirits, etc.

Being a lover of thriller and horror movies since age 7, I am always looking for something that, after all the movies of these genres I've seen, manages to get me. This was a great combination of suspense building, general creepiness, and actual scares. The image of Katie standing completely still over the bed for hours on end, and of course the last scene, will surely come to me at just the wrong time.

This movie is only good for those people who believe in the supernatural or watched those shows like Ghosthunters as kids. This movie literally sent chills up my spine and I couldn't wait for the next night to see what this ghost did next. I enjoyed it a lot, but it's a movie that is really slow in the beginning and builds the intensity with every night. A must-see scary movie!

I think my 6 out of 10 is mostly based on the fact that I'm really bored of this first person camera genre. It was cool in the Blair Witch days, it was pretty cool when it was combined with good special effects in Cloverfield, but now I'm bored. And who am I kidding. This couple is annoying! Overall an o. k. movie, which I could've done without.

I have personally been attacked by a demon, it was 3:01am when I glanced at my clock radio and closed my eyes... the next thing I am struggling with a demon who has me by the throat... laughing he tells me," you will be dead before morning" I prayed to God and his angels to save me and the demon fled. Just a movie you say, this movie has a very real theme that most of us recognize even though we may not be aware of it, if you must go see this movie, beware, demons do stalk the night. This movie scared me and I do not scare easily, I had no problem sleeping, after dealing with the real thing... it is just a movie after all!

The beginning was really boring, but later it got good and really creepy. The night I wanted to sleep after I watched this was a rough night for me, every little sound shocked me.

Soo, I had heard reviews about this movie from friends, and I looked into a trailer and got hooked!! I was super stoked cause everyone said it was just different, and the previews showed that. It's not your typical horror film, it's not a slasher, and it's not blood guts and gore, but damn can it scare you. I give this a 10 out of 10 for design, style and creep factor. I can totally agree with Teniz, gurl, who left a review on the 13th of november. If you're a guy and you got a gf, take her, if u got a girl into scary movies, take her. She will be wanting to sit in your lap by the end. Or heck, by the middle like mine was :)

Sooo stupid. No one has that much balls to open a door that is being banged on when you've just been woken out of a dead sleep by a demonic sound! Too much foreshadowing and VERY bad acting... not scared enough to believe it was genuine. I can see this scaring the hell out of my 13 year old daughter but come on!

Ok some people either just get this movie or the rest of you don't. It's one or the other. If you're going to criticize it maybe you should think that you just didn't get into it and leave it at that. Not hard to get it and be scared though. Loved it!

So, so, so scared. Not much scares me but the paranormal and this movie had me closing my eyes and peeking through my hands that were covering my face. I typically like being scared, but this movie really really affected me and I hated some of the realy intense suspenseful moments when I was terrified. Had a hard time sleeping afterwards that's for sure...

Friends and I went into it thinking we were about to see something TOTALLY freaky and scary (like the trailers and reviews said) but came out wondering if we had seen the same movie that everyone else had been seeing. It was okay, nothing great. Though in some spots (mostly ONLY the end) it was creepy but not scary. It was worth seeing if you rent it or see it at a friends house. Or better yet rent The Blair Witch Project instead of seeing Paranormal Activity in theaters.

There was so much hype about this movie I was expecting much better. I didn't have high expectations for a movie that cost less than $15,000 to make but something that at least had more to scare you with than what they showed in the previews. Even the ending!!! A handful of actual parts that made you feel the suspense, and everyone in the theatre, including ourselves, said out loud "that's it? " when the movie ended. Not even worth a rent in my opinion.

I think the movie was excellent, the fact that the people were real people and it was real footage for the most part not trained actors just made it scarier. The alternate "fake" ending made my heart race much more then the actual ending even knowing it was fake. Plus the ending was masterfully done so if you didnt know it was fake you never would have guessed it. I am glad I spent the money to go see it the first time and happily paid to see it again. Definitely a must see for anyone sensitive or looking for a thrill.

The producers give you exactly what they're selling: a Blair Witch-style filming of paranormal activity the builds in intensity during the film. If you don't buy into the premise, you won't enjoy the film. I liked the premise and I got exactly what I expected. So there's no need for so much cynicism in these reviews.

I think I already saw this movie ten years ago. Oh, yeah, it was called the Blair Witch Project. Instead of it being in the '90s it's a 2000's con-movie. Terrible 'acting'.

After reading 50 comments or so, I came to a consensus that the peoples who loved it really loved it while the people who hated it either didn't give a reason why they hated or they took the opportunity to slam the peoples who loved it. Personnally, I'm one of those people who actually love it, yes I tend to agree that the beginning of the movie is a little slow but that was to be expected with this kind of movie. You have to set up the suspense really slowly to get the reaction you want to get by the end. This does everything right. It start spreading the notion that something paranormal is going on with something little like moving keys or a door closing and the more it goes on the bigger the situation is, that how a good paranormal horror movie works. So sure, for alot of people, this movie is garbage, but considering all the crap we got this year in the horror movie genre, I got to say while I wouldn't buy this movie on DVD, it's still one of the scariest movie of 2009.

I'm giving it a 2/10 for a 3 minute part that happened two thirds of the way into the movie and for a segment during the last 8 minutes of the movie. Everything before and in between was just a waste of a good night.

Me and my friends went in thinking it was going to be so scary. It wasn't that scary at all, I didn't jump at this movie, but I really injoyed the part where the Demon pulls her out of bed and everything from that point on. If you like all paranormal happenings then I say go and see it.

I thought the movie wasn't very scary while it was playing, but it was when I got home that night and had to turn the lights off. It doesnt show much, but it really gets you thinking. Very good movie if you like being scared, if not. Still see it, just wait till it's in movie stores.

OMG! I almost cried at the end, it was AMAZING! Best suspense I've ever felt. I honestly feel like they're telling my story! It's insanely realistic. I can't believe they haven't found her body. That is terribly awful. I hope they have a sequel :) :)
