Great instalment in the Paranormal Activity series. I personally like it just as much as the first three films but it is the first one that doesn't have the sisters (Katie or Christie) as the main character, this one moves to the next generation with Hunter.The movie contains are the familiar Paranormal Activity quirks including jumps and frights and home-video style camera work - the things that characterise the Paranormal Activity films.Great, scary, worth a watch.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Paranormal Activity 4" (R - 2012 - US)Sub-Genre: POV/ParanormalMy Score: 5.9Cast=4 Acting=5 Plot=4 Ending=8 Story=6 Scare=4 Jump=7 F/X=7 POV=8 Creep=6It has been five years since the disappearance of Katie and Hunter, and a suburban family witness strange events in their neighborhood when a woman and a mysterious child move in. "Who doesn't like me?" "You'll find out." This is probably my least favorite in the franchise. The introduction of the Kinect software was cool, but that seemed to be the main focus of the film. The acting lacked and you could drive a truck through the holes in the story, but I liked the POV work and the ending was solid as usual. I felt this started to really lose focus here...only worth it if you are a POV fanatic.

This movie is so underrated...Honestly, I think this is the second best, after Paranormal Activity 1. I loved the story and the characters; I think I fell in love with the oldest daughter, Alex Nelson. She was very hot and I felt sorry that she died at the end. Also, Ben was very funny.I don't understand the hate for this film. The script is very unpredictable. For example, at the beginning I was absolutely sure that Robbie is Hunter, but he wasn't. Wyatt was Hunter.Also, I think the ending is one of the best endings ever. When I saw that army of women I was like "Wow!". And then one last jump-scare with a possessed Katie appearing in your face.

If part 2 was more of the same, and part 3 was more of more of the same, then part 4 is more of more of more of the same, adding virtually nothing new to the tried and tested Paranormal Activity formula. Once again, a family are pestered by a demonic force that makes it's presence known by moving assorted household items and stamping its feet; these occurrences coincide with the arrival of a neighbour's child, Robbie (Brady Allen), who stays with the family while his mother is in hospital. When Alex (Kathryn Newton), the teenage daughter of the family, and her boyfriend Ben (Matt Shively) realise that something strange is amiss, they set up the family's computers to record the spooky goings on.Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman then proceed to run through the same old tricks that have served them so well in the previous three films, only this time around the numerous jump scares are even more predictable and rarely have the desired effect. What Paranormal Activity 4 does have going in its favour is its young actress Kathryn Newton, who is extremely pretty and surprisingly talented: she carries the majority of the film, and I believe that she could be a major star. She'll need to distance herself from predictable junk like this in order to do so, though. Here's hoping she gets some better projects in the future.
