It 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.
Critics Sentiment
Katie murders Daniel and Kristi Rey in 2006 opening
Alex and Ben notice initial paranormal activity beginning
The film drops significantly during the slow middle act before recovering somewhat in the final violent confrontations.
Paranormal Activity 4 disappointed critics with its extremely slow pacing and lack of genuine scares through most of its runtime. While some praised the teenage leads and the final twenty minutes showed improvement, reviewers overwhelmingly felt the film was a pointless cash grab that failed to advance the franchise's mythology. The consensus was that franchise fatigue had set in, with predictable scares and too many unanswered questions frustrating audiences.
