As far as Asylum movies go, Paranormal Entity is not as bad as Titanic II, Alien Origin or AVH: Alien vs Hunter. It did have a decent concept and started off decently. Sadly it very quickly goes downhill. The effects and editing are haphazard to look at so you can't really enjoy anything visually. The writing is awful also, it reeks of cheese and never feels as though it is natural in its flow. The characters are not identifiable at all, you know little about the family and the chemistry isn't there between them. Plus everything feels so clichéd. The acting is very poor as well, Shane Van Dyke overacts embarrassingly while the rest of the cast are insufferably bland(especially in comparison). But the worst asset about Paranormal Entity was the story, once it falls downhill from its somewhat promising start it is all very predictable and the scares and such have the feeling of being improvised and badly. All in all, not their worst, but a very bad movie still. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I have to give Shane Van Dyke some words...just because you come from a TV family does NOT mean you are capable of being a TV or film star! I have seen Shane in a few productions and to be honest, he is a talentless actor and now, as a writer and director, he proves he is also useless at these roles too. I have just sat through one of the worst productions I have ever seen. It was not only badly filmed (we all had a giggle at the shot of him on his lap top when he is pretending to press keys and scroll!), the acting was bad! The woman playing the mother in this film was terrible! if you want actors to improvise Shane, then get actors who can improvise! This woman was appalling. I watched Paranormal Activity a few years ago and found it boring and terribly written, acted and directed, however, having now seen this atrocious piece of garbage, I consider paranormal activity a genius production. I have read some reviews of this on IMDb and am totally surprised anyone could class this as good. Are these people part of Shane's gang? Look folks, before you consider watching this, let me save you time, it is a complete and badly done rip off, using a cheap camcorder and BAD acting. Writing wise, it's suffering a great deal from the fact it has no writing and seems all improvised. Badly Improvised I might add. Somebody should inform Shane that a new career really does need looking in to. It is surely not enough to merely trade on your family name, surely you Americans can see where the talent is and where, in Shane's case, it is so obviously lacking. I am a fan of Dick Van Dyke, but Shane, I am sorry love, you just haven't got what it takes.

Good acting with an imaginative twist on the original "Paranormal Activity" make this movie worth watching for anyone who enjoys the Shock- u-mentary genre ala Blair Witch.The story centers around the "found footage" of paranormal activity experienced by a small family.I watched this movie before Paranormal Activity. I ended up watching the P.A. after getting the DVD's 1&2 with advertised free tickets for the third installment. Paranormal Entity is actually a lot scarier; with a lot more imaginative "phenomena" going on. Finally, a 5$ DVD from Walmart that is actually worth every penny!

This movie start with Thomas who is document the house, while Samantha Finley ( he sister and their mother Ellen think they have made contact with their deceased father and husband David. Then are series of horrible attacks upon Samantha, they begin to suspect a Demon is Haunting the house.This movie got bit more activity then ( Paranormal Activity) and It's did not take long for think start to happen however those scene did not have the same impact as Paranormal Activity as there was no hint of Back Story at all, It's did not make those scene lit.The acting was descent in this movie and there some really interesting scenes, which could have been much better. This movie is was just way too similar then paranormal activity. I think it was good movie 5 out of 10
