Paranormal Activity
After a young, middle-class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic but is certainly the most active in the middle of the night.
Critics Sentiment
Katie is pulled from bed and shows bite marks
Katie kills Micah and lunges at camera with demonic snarl
The film drops sharply from its most frightening sequence of Katie being attacked to widespread disappointment with the abrupt, cheesy ending.
Paranormal Activity builds effectively from realistic setup through genuinely creepy middle sequences, with critics praising its restraint and psychological approach to horror. However, the film suffers from pacing issues and character frustrations, culminating in a divisive ending that many found underwhelming compared to the careful tension-building that preceded it.
