Storyline

In this hilarious in-your-face mockumentary spoof on the handheld movie genre, nothing is what you would expect, or is it? No matter how stupid or boring the footage becomes, Roger and Stacey videotape everything in hopes of seeing the spirits in action. Will they end up with a hit documentary, or will they find what ends up on tape is far worse than demonic activity?

Spoofs Paranormal Activity (2007)

User Reviews

A one-punchline movie that should have been a two-reeler.

This spoof of "Paranormal Activity" is actually not bad, but it's about 70 minutes longer than necessary. The acting of the two leads is quite good and the film maintains its tone throughout...with one exception. The scenes with the two paranormal investigators are unnecessary and way overdone. These characters are not funny and don't contribute anything at all to the film or its story-line.

I watched it on NF Instant View in an "unrated" version. The only reason I can imagine that it is unrated is that they simply didn't bother to submit it for rating. It would otherwise be a PG.

On the other hand, the punchline is pretty good. Just FF through the scenes with the investigators and it is worth watching for a laugh.
