User Reviews

Not worth watching at all

As a fan of the Paranormal Activity movies I have to say that the first couple were really thrilling with the unexpected and creativity of things happening throughout the film. Sadly, this is something the newest film lacked. I thought it was worth seeing as the trailer looked really great however the film did not live up to expectation at all, they seem to have got gradually worse and this isn't even worth watching. In all honesty I was pretty glad the film ended as it seemed to drag on and barely made any sense.

Nothing much happens most of the time and it's very predictable. Not worth watching!
