Btw, since I always 4get 2 finish doing ratings/reviews 4 the whole month of Oct becuz I'm just #TIRED™ by the time it's all over, here's a late ass update on my feelings of this entire franchise (which I DID watch the entirety of in 1 day, specifically on Oct 17, 2016), which I consider 2 be 1 of my greatest accomplishments of my Halloween Horrorthon simply becuz I managed 2 power thru it all in 1 day despite me having never seen a 1 becuz I wanted 2 wait until they got so bad that they weren't making them damn near every yr anymore: -Paranormal Activity (2009) - 6 annoyingly idiotic boyfriends that make the situation worse outta 10. -Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) - 5.5 casually racist housekeeper stereotypes outta 10. -Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) - 7.5 kitchen scenes ripped from Poltergeist outta 10. -Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) - 3.5 irrelevant installments that add nothing 2 the mythology outta 10. -Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) - 7.5 crazy witch women being shotgunned 2 death outta 10. -Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) - 2 embarrassingly ineffective protection circles outta 10. Average Score: 5.3 outta 10 Overall, the series most definitely wasn't as bad as I anticipated it 2 be based off how frustratingly overhyped it had all been while I was in HS & wanting ppl 2 stfu about it all (so, it's probz 4 the best that I waited as long as I did 2 have more of an unbiased approach 2 the films). I mean, honest, a hell of a whole lot of the male charries made the experience a STRUGGLE @ times & left me w/out much of a choice but lower ratings becuz there's no excuse 2 have a bunch of dumbass fuckbags in a film just 2 make the plot convenient. Ultimately, I feel like the series should've ended @ 3, even tho it & TMO were my favs (not only due 2 the fact that they felt like they were the most story-oriented, despite TMO being listed as a "spin-off," but becuz they felt like they were the most differential in formula, particularly TMO, which was a much-needed breath of fresh air in the franchise) just becuz 4 literally did NOTHING. 4 the story whatsoever that 3 didn't already cover & TGD was just a big fat NO., while 3 came off like it resolved the story of the 1st 1/2 of the series relatively well (coupled w/ the fact my Average Score would've been bumped up 2 6.3 outta 10 if they had just stopped.). I also wish the 1st film had ended like it was originally intended 2 instead of ending on the jumpscare that it does, as it would've let me give it a higher rating that it probz deserves 4 the relatively slow-burn horror approach it took, but, #OhWell |

We pretty much have the same views on all the movies ![]() You'd definitely have liked the first more if you had seen it when it came out, but I've never understood why people think the whole franchise is shit when half the movies are good, one is decent, and only two of them are shit. |

Yasss ![]() Probz so, like I had said tho, I was just turned off by the overwhelming hype, which tends 2 happen w/ things when I haven't seen it & I'm like #YallNeed2CHILL aka y I waited a yr 2 watch The Force Awakens & y it took me 7 yrs 2 finally c the original PA 4 myself (so I'm just gonna assume the ppl that say they're shit were of the same #AntiHypeTrain variety as I was )

In graphic design we have a joke about comic sans being the typeface people hate on when they don't know about typefaces because there are a lot of worse typefaces out there, and comic sans really isn't that bad. It's just overused. I feel like that is how Paranormal Activity is. People love to hate on it when they don't know a lot about horror because there are a lot of shittier movies out there than PA |
