I really don't get all those who trash the movie claiming that it doesn't feel like a Paranormal Activity movie. I mean, do you really miss doors closing, chandeliers moving and loud foot steps? Or you are missing using an xbox in order to see a figure? Yeah so frightening... This movie, is a decent more or less typical horror found footage film, that basically uses the name of Paranormal Activity as a marketing tool, since the resemblance to the original title is very little. I really like the fact that they turned away from the stupid cheap looking production and boring scenery which was usually your typical middle class house and they went to something new such as an Amish community with no electricity and so on. Also I really liked the cinematography, some of the images were very beautiful, sound design was ok, and the plot was meh, ok I guess nothing really special. But for me its certainly a big upgrade from the extremely limited and repetitive ideas that the previous 6 movies were using. For all those who keep complaining, it's obvious that the franchise was becoming extremely stale and this is a nice little change of direction with an ending that leaves an open door to a couple more sequels I guess. Also the performance of the main protagonist was not that great but whatever, who is expecting oscar worth performances in horror found footage.
