Paranormal Activity 4 (dir. Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman, 2012)
"He does not like you."
The Good Points: Some decent jump scares. It's kind of entertaining, for the most part.
The Bad Points: Tenuous link with any of the other instalments. The premise isn't durable or complex enough to stretch out this far, and it's seriously showing its wear. The episodic structure -- day then night, day then night -- comes off less as inspired and more as just tedious. Monotonous and meandering. Terrible plot. The Xbox Kinnect crap.
After a surprisingly creepy and interesting third instalment, Paranormal Activity 4 provides almost nothing aside from a handful of scares and some mediocre performances, with its premise bled completely dry -- maybe it's time this demon was exorcised.
3/10
