Review of Paranormal Activity (2007) by Adrian Z — 25 Jan 2013

4 out of 5 - I watched this in the dark, all by myself. I must say it was very creepy. The found footage technique has been done before in Blair Witch Project, and here it is just as effective. It generates scares from what is left unseen, although the film becomes less subtle as it progresses, and at times veers headlong into silliness.

The Blu-Ray includes an alternate ending which I think deserves the score above. The theatrical version's ending is silly, and would score half a point lower.
