A slow-paced yawner of a "scary" movie that will leave you wanting to watch literally anything else. People have said, "The last 15 minutes will scar you for life."
But all I saw was over an hour of build-up for a disappointing ending. Not scary at all.
Many people believe that anyone who doesn't find it scary are just unimaginative morons who believe only gore is scary. When in reality the morons who find the film scary are the kind of people who honestly believe that the "found footage" horror films are real. The kind of people who wrote angry letters about "The Blair Witch Project" because they thought it was in poor taste that a studio would profit off of the death of 3 innocent teenagers. Without doing their research and finding out that it was 3 actors pretending to be scared and lost in the woods while being chased by a monster.

Idiot: Dude, Paranormal Activity 2 scared me so bad that I stay up at night with the lights on at night and then sleep during the day.
Friend of Idiot: You were scared by that boring ass movie?
Idiot: Dude, how could you not be scared? It's a true story. That was actual footage from the security cameras that the family had in their house. They really died and the baby was really kidnapped. Didn't you see the thing at the beginning where the studio thanked the local police department for giving them the footage?
Friend of Idiot: Your stupidity makes my brain hurt.

Get the Paranormal Activity 2 mug.The movement made by standing still and then shifting your weight back and forth ever-so-slightly. This 'dance' is in relation to the film Paranormal Activity in which the time lapse shot of the main female character standing over her partners bed appears to make her 'dance'.
This movement can also be used to freak out your friends in the middle of the night.

Get the paranormal activity worthy mug.A very low budget horror film that was originally just an independent film at a movie fest, but became so popular by demand it was released in October of 2009 all over the country.
The plot is a young couple move in together and are experiencing paranormal phenomenon from something like a demon, etc. I don't want to give anymore away.
Now this movie has gotten mixed reviews so I will be Switzerland here and tell you the truth. First off, the hype was so over the top it was unrealistic. But just because of the hype, doesn't mean it's not an amazing movie.
This movie messes with your mind. Not with your eyes (blood, etc.) There is very little blood in the movie and that is the point. What this movie does it takes everything you can't explain (ex. Finding your keys in the middle of the floor the next morning unexplainably) and tells you that a demon/ghost/etc. did it. Yes, I know it sounds unreasonable, but after watching the movie you'll know exactly what I mean.
People with a very low, shallow, realistic imagination will find this movie to be a piece of crap. Because they don't think twice about anything.
People with a very large, crazy, and colorful imagination will put a lot of thought into this and the movie will be so terrifying in so many unexplainable ways.
The movie builds off anticipation, suspense, and terror. Not cheap blood and bad actors.

Person 1: Oh my god! The ending of Paranormal Activity freaked the crap outta me! I'm definitely not sleeping alone!!
Person 2: What the hell? The movie was a bunch of bull. It was cheap and had no blood. I'm definitely not buying the DVD.
Person 1: Well you don't have an imagination do you? Can't wait till you get possessed. ;)

Get the Paranormal Activity mug.An independent horror film that made it big due to popular demand.
This movie is a rare type of horror that is scary because:
-its made to look real life
-it uses a person's fear of the unexplained and the supernatural
-its so simple it looks more real because there are really only 4 actors seen and there is only one set(the house)
-it scares you then gives you a break then scares you even more
-it includes the oh-so common cliff-hanger ending (like in Quarantine )
Overall not as scary after as other horror movies.

"Paranormal Activity didn't scare me until last night. How about you?"
"Yeah, it didn't bother me till this morning when I was getting out of bed. I felt lazy and wished someone would drag me out then I remembered the movie and was like HELL NO!"
"I think it doesn't bother me out of the theater cuz my house looks nothing like that."

Get the Paranormal Activity mug.A sexual stunt, or act, in which a man is penetrating a female from behind, while he has her face a window that is open, then he tags his friend in while she isn’t looking to finish the job, meanwhile he walks by the window outside, creating a paranormal effect.

Get the Paranormal Activity mug.a lame movie that is not scary at all unless you do not know any better and believe it is real. there are three different endings. the people could not act. it does not matter that there was not any blood or whatever, and i have a wonderful imagination, but the movie was only suspenseful. it was slow paced. it is not the most terrifying horror film. the movie was pretty much filmed in the bed room, and the only thing that happened was a door wiggling, some annoying footprints that took forever going up steps, animal footprints in the powder they left in weird places, the girl stood there, and some screaming.
a total waste of money.
a total waste of money.
