Review of Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) by Metalmovienerd — 06 Nov 2012

Didn't we learn our lesson with the first two films? Didn't we? Didn't we learn that jump scares aren't scary and that likeable and smart characters carry a movie? Didn't we learn that plotholes shouldn't be in movies? Apparently not! And I counted how many jump scares they did in this film.

How many were there? 20 through out the film. And at one point 5 happens in under two minutes. Thankfully there are people such as myself who recognize the fact that this movie is poorly made. And the people who paid to see this, I saw a free screening, I shame you.

Its your fault you think jump scares are what makes a good horror movie and not good story telling, atmosphere, motivations, and actual story structure.
