Review of Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) by Brian C — 28 Jul 2013

Paranormal Activity 4 should not have been made. The series has been completely unnecessary after the first one. However, the creators of this franchise felt that more is better and at least made good effort into fleshing out the story of the spirits surrounding this family. Everything tied up pretty good at the end of Part 3 and should have been left at that.

Then comes part 4. It just doesn't work at all. The 'footage' is never looked at. No one believes the daughter that something strange is happening (despite all of the footage available), and the ending...oh it was bad.

Now one saving grace is the acting. The daughter's acting is quite good considering the movie as a whole fails.

The biggest fault is that the movie is boring. Little effort is used creating real tension, so when things go crazy at the end for the climax, we don't care at all.
