I wasn't scared one bit, I was let down by the two year hype. If anything when walking into the movie I was scared of being scared, but it failed to deliver. My girlfriend wasn't scared, my horror nut friend was let down like me, my brother wasn't scared, my other friend wasn't scared but had fun scaring people in the theater, and their girlfriends were almost asleep by the end. Honestly some of the tropes just felt too cliche' for my tastes. To be fair though, parts were a bit creepy like when Katie couldn't be found, but creepy is nowhere near scary. And how easily terrified my theater was kind of destroyed the mood. "AGHHH BLANKET MOVED SCARIEST **** IN THE WORLD ME AND HALF THE THEATER WILL SCREAM AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS LIKE AN ANNOYING TARD NOW"
HOWEVER I could see how it could scare people, especially if you're afraid of darkness and things you can't see. You know that feeling that someone is watching you sleep but nothing is in the room.
As a movie I would say it was pretty decent, nothing too spectacular though. The characters did feel real though but pissed me off, mainly because I hate those types of people. Stupid bitches with ZERO self assertion and stubborn manchild bros. Although Micah did seem like a pretty cool guy at some parts. So in short, Paranormal Activity? More like the Blair Bitch Broject.
I for one preferred the original ending shown at film festivals a couple years prior over this ending. Although this ending gave the demon a sense of purpose, the original was far more creepy (and intriguing). But the original ending just made the demon nothing more than a gigantic troll from hell. Actually from the sounds of it the original cut of the movie (where the hauntings were in random order instead of slowly getting more intense) sounds like they intended for the demon just to be a giant troll.
