I was really looking forward to this movie, and getting answers left from PA3, but I was left with more questions. The acting was fine, but it really felt like PA3 part 2. Obviously, they left the audience with more questions to entice you to go see PA5. I honestly thought that PA3 was better and scarier than this film. I would recommend renting this, but it's not really worth seeing in the theater.
Cons slow, repeat of pa3 story, not as scary as pa3
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie was so long and drug out, over use of the same scare tactics as the previous Paranormal's. No follow up on the story line or any real understanding as to why things were the way they were. In the only 2 mins where the movie seriously got scary, it than ended and ended horribly.
Loved all the previous movies but this one was so bad. Very disappointed!

I watched the first 3 alone with the lights on, and had to sleep with the light on. I had no less of an expectation watching it in the dark on a screen several times my height. the movie was an hour and 35 minutes long, and only the last 10 were scary. And I'm being generous, here. It was funny, and it had a few moments of, "Oh, look, something's moving!" Which was followed by, "Wait for it, wait for it...oh, nothing happened." Sure, there were a couple of jumps here and there, but all in all, it seemed to try and set the storyline up for the first hour and 25 minutes, then scare you at the end. I was majorly let down by this movie. I didn't even have one nightmare last night. Which is odd, considering I have nightmares pretty frequently. I spent extra money to see this in IMAX. I immediately told my friend that couldn't make it to wait for it to come out on Redbox or Netflix. It's just not work even a matinee price.
Pros a few scares, good for a dark comedy
Cons anticlimatic until very end, weak ending
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I thought the movie plot was all over but the suspense was good. Had me jumping out of my seat. I think it had somethings that the previous movies didn't have but lack things that the previous movies did have and could have advanced the movie a little. I never like they way the movie ends but overall if you like a scare I would recommend it.
Pros good suspense
Cons story all over the place
Yes, I recommend this movie.

"PA4" offers more questions than scares

"All the activity has led to this."
At least that's what the posters say. But what exactly have three movies about paranormal things that occur while we sleep led to? "Paranormal Activity 4" doesn't say.
The latest installment of the scare-a-minute franchise brings back directors Joost and Schulman, who breathed new life into the franchise with "Paranormal Activity 3", but who seem to have run out of air here. Sure, their new film is scary enough and still retains a more personal touch than the first two films, but it lacks any significant contributions to the building universe of the franchise.
"PA4" brings us to present day Nevada and introduces a whole new family (read: victims). The married couple with a teenage girl and a little adopted boy soon begin taking care of another little boy from across the street after his mom has an accident and goes to the hospital. This new boy is creepy. Damien from "The Omen" has nothing on this little guy. Soon enough, strange things begin to happen at the house. Chandeliers crashing inexplicably, knives plunging themselves into marble counter tops, doors opening and closing, and a virtuoso scene involving a running car and a seemingly inescapable garage.
These strange happenings raise many questions regarding who the creepy boy actually is, the history of the family's adopted son, and who the creepy boy's mom is and where she came from. Not to mention the baffling addition of what seems to be a new evil spirit in addition to the one that has been haunting these films since day one, and killings during the climax that seem entirely unnecessary. The final scene connects parts three and four with one outstandingly disturbing shot using night vision, but that too only begs more questions.
It should be no surprise that many scenes from the trailer aren't in the actual film, including one that I found particularly clever involving a speaking alarm system gone haywire. Too bad. Many other gags were underused as well. A knife that inexplicably disappears comes back for a shock that is as bland as it gets. I had hoped for something far more creative.
As always, the film still has its fair share of truly frightening scares, but none of them feel as fresh as they did in part one or even the third installment. Maybe it's an even numbers thing.
The highest marks for this film go to the use of webcams and Skype as part of the repertoire of angles from which we see the film. This new technique offers us more "face time" with the characters, rather than simply seeing what they point their cameras at. It's much more involving and helps form bonds with the characters that make the terrifying situations all the more horrifying. Some night vision shots involving an Xbox Kinect's tracking-dot system are pretty clever as well, but again, they're underused.
In spite of its brief moments of inventiveness, solid scares, and a climax that is truly nerve-shattering, the film begs so many unanswered questions that the best accolade it can be given is that it will make you have to see the unavoidable part five.
And maybe you'll want to see it as well. Heck, I still do.
Pros well paced
Yes, I recommend this movie.
