Paranormal Activity 4

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of movies out in theaters these days. Once in a while a movie comes along that people know will be good. Most of the time, people seem to enjoy the movies that are either in a trilogy or are the next film in a sequence. I am one of those people. I only really every go to the movies to see the big hit films that have 3 or 4 in a series. Some obvious examples would be Twilight and The Hunger games, both of which I have read the books. The film I most recently saw, on Thursday, was Paranormal Activity 4. I’ve seen all of them leading up to the fourth and I was really excited for it. A lot of people I know don’t exactly like these films. The reason is because even though I consider it a scary movie, they don’t think it is. They see it as more of a pathetic attempt at a scary movie. They are the only scary movies that I will watch and enjoy watching. The reason is because my friends and I always go and see them at the theater when they come out. So, when I heard there was going to be a fourth one I was super excited.

            I was expecting this movie to be the best out of all of them. That is how it’s supposed to work, right? Each film gets better and better than the previous. So when we got to the theater I was really scared. I really don’t like scary movies, its more about experiencing it with my friends. I usually sit through the whole movie with my ears plugged and eyes covered, but it is still enjoyable.

Once the movie started I was prepared for the worst. Of course there was the usual door slamming out of nowhere and things popping up on screen. My friends were laughing through a lot of it, because sometimes that’s all you can do at these movies. But, nearing the end we know it was going to get terrifying. Things started happening more quickly and this demon woman was killing everyone. The last scene of the movie is the main character trying to get away from the demon woman and opening a door outside to reveal thousands of these demon creatures. I was scared out of my mind just because of how creepy the whole thing was!

Then I had to drive home alone in the dark, which of course freaked me out because I just thought about the movie the whole time. To make matters worse, my house is on a street that is mostly woods. Eventually I made it home though and didn’t think about the movie too much again.

Although the movie was scary, it definitely wasn’t as scary as the third film. I still like watching it, but the previous was by far the best of the four. I think that this might have been the last movie in the series, which is a little upsetting. I guess I will just have to find a new series to get hooked on watching.
