I give it a :oP
Well, Paranormal Activity 4 was a big, fat disappointment. In addition to a ton of wasted potential (the Kinect thing could have been so cool), it made no damn sense.
Can somebody please explain to me why "Toby" (or the demon, whatever) possessed Wyatt? I thought the whole frickin' point was that it wanted the first male child in the family line. Yes, Wyatt was adopted, but... what, is he just coincidentally part of the bloodline and slightly older than Robbie/Hunter? And the demon made a mistake in possessing Katie to kidnap Hunter? And took five years to find Wyatt? So if the demon's in Wyatt now, who or what is possessing Katie? I guess I was more forgiving of the continuity errors (in what is really a very simple storyline) in the others because they were more scary/entertaining. In this one, I kept waiting for them to determine that the circle in the triangle symbol stood for... the Deathly Hallows! (Uh, minus the elder wand, I guess.) That would've made for a good plot twist. Better than "everybody dies at the end." If you're going to try to flesh out the storyline, flesh out the damned storyline instead of giving us an hour and twenty minutes of things occasionally moving on their own and ten minutes of deeply confusing violence.
So they're making a fifth movie, because they cost $10 to make and gross a gazillion times that. I'll probably see it because this is the kind of horror movie I actually like (bare-bones suspense, no gore, no sudden blasts from the soundtrack for cheap startle scares), but I reserve the right to be grumpy about it.
