Aint It Cool: "[she] told me that she didn’t sleep at all because of the movie,

and neither did her boyfriend."

“Paranormal Activity” succeeds with flying colors.
It’s a brutal, exhausting, and genuinely horrifying little ghost flick that
really makes me rethink my stance on horror films altogether.."
- Felix Vasquez, Film Threat

"it sufficiently freaked out those of us who watched [it].... that I ended
up asking a coworker to crash in my room for the night because I was afraid I
wouldn' t be able to get to sleep alone. It's surprising how creepy and realistic the film is"
- Kim Voynar, Cinematical

"Possibly the Scariest Movie Ever Made ... Paranormal Activity
is not for the weak hearted and is one of the few films that stays with you
after you’ve left the theater to the point that you wished it wouldn’t.
Paranormal Activity is our generation’s The Exorcist" -
BlueBomber

"PARANORMAL ACTIVITY may literally be the best haunting movie as well as
one of the greatest examples of using a simple yet effective idea to its fullest potential...
Many moments in this movie will stay with you for a long time, and will probably

I cannot recommend this movie enough .... one of the most effective movies I have ever seen."
- William Gacria, Cinema Crazed
