Movie Reviews: Paranormal Activity 4
Paranormal Activity 4 accomplishes pretty much what its predecessors did — it makes its audience feel creepy about empty rooms.
Claudia Puig remarks in USA Today:
“There’s virtually nothing new. Most of the creepy stuff is recorded via a laptop webcam or video chats instead of a standard video camera.”
Joe Neumaier in the New York Daily News remarks that the laptop is the sole “whoo-hoo innovation” in the latest sequel.
But that novelty apparently leads the Los Angeles Times‘s Mark Olsen to provide just about the only positive comment about the movie appearing in any of the major reviews:
“This film’s strong suit is that it finally feels contemporary.”
Virtually all of the major critics are writing the film off as simply … boring.
