Brief Review of Paranormal Activity 4

This blog once again will contain spoilers just like my last one on the same movie, so just to let you know, you have been warned.

Okay so last week I made a post in anticipation of this movie coming up. Paranormal Activity 4. (Click here for context.) This will be more or less my reaction and/or review of said movie, broken down systematically.

Characters: Okay so in terms of characters there was one, and I count one surviving member of the family from the second movie, the young daughter whose name I don't quite remember I was hoping to see in this, well she wasn't. Hunter and the main female lead from the first however were, so I suppose that does add some interest to it. I was afraid if anything that I would be annoyed by the main female, the young teenage girl wo could be any number of things, thankfully she was not the helpless Bella Cullen type and did to a degree know how to go about and take care of herself for the most part, when called to do so.

Story: Typical of this movie you are more or less left off with a cliffhanger which does in fact leave room for yet another sequel. Through out the movie there was sufficient buildup for what happened, but what happened at the end was confusing in itself kinda. You have the girl escape from the house while the demon possessed woman is charging and breaking trough the door to get her and, as implied earlier in the movie actually, not attempt to kill her but capture for a virgin sacrifice or something. She escapes and you think she is safe (this is what the spoiler warning is for, last chance) then all the sudden there is this massive crowd of other demon possessed women ready to pounce, she turns back around and the one that was chasing her is rigt in her face for te one last scary moment, roll credits. It leaves either desire and anticipation for Paranormal Activity 5, which trust me, at this rate you know they are going to do, or a slight disappointment, which is initially what I had felt to start. My opinion has changed slightly thinking about it.

Scare Factor: The scary moments in this film were there as they should but but all I can say is that depending on who you are certain moments scare more than others. It had it's fill of moments which only seemed like something bad was going to happen when it was just something like a perfectly normal person popping up on the screen and yelling "boo!" Other times there were things that at least made me jump slightly. All in all enough scary to be an entertaining movie.

Overall: All in all it had it's enjoyable moments. The best I can really say is for you to go and check it out for yourself. It was worth the six dollars I paid at my home town small theater and I think I still would have willingly paid a little more at a more expensive cinema.
