I guess for this movie, it all depends on what kind of mindset you go in with purchasing the tickets. If you're wayy into the whole paranormal thing, this movie will seriously get to you and leave you up til the wee hours of the morning. If you're a skeptic like me... eh. For me Paranormal Activity was mostly haha. The first half is kind of slow, and for all the hype, you're just kind of sitting there impatient waiting for the scary stuff to start. The guy is pretty goofy so made everyone laugh. As for the scary stuff, the last half hour is really the only "scariness" I guess. But in all honesty, it's really the last 2 minutes or so of the movie that really kills. I will say though it was pretty suspenseful and I left satisfied.
