Paranormal Activity 4 directed by Henry Joost and starring Katie Featherston takes place five years after Katie kills her family and kidnaps her nephew baby Hunter. Hunter now known as Robbie, along with Katie are the new residents of a neighborhood in Nevada. The moment Katie and Robbie move in across the street, Alice the teen that notices that Robbie is strange begins to experience paranormal events in her home.
The subtle noises in the night become elevated when Robbie is forced to stay a few days with Alice and her family. Her friend Ben encourages Alice to video record all the strange activity. Alice feels that Robbie is a bad influence on her brother Wyatt. After viewing the tapes of recorded footage the teen is convinced that something maybe after her and her brother. Alice ties to confront her mother about her findings, but her mother continues to not listen and ignore the signs.
Alice eventually discovers that Robbie may be linked to a coven of witches and a demonic force. By the time she learns this information it is too late for her and her family.
The fast moving movie really was pointless and did not answer any of the questions franchise fans want to know concerning Katie and Kristi’s past that involve the demonic creature. The movie was done the same way as the others. A bump here, a crash there, then suddenly Katie pops into the home and randomly kills everyone. Katie makes a statement at the end of movie telling the possessed Wyatt that “he will be ready soon.”
For those of you who still plan to see the movie, I will not give any more away, but to tell you the truth, I should have gone to see Taken 2, which I am three weeks late seeing. I am not going to go over special effects or score, because this movie did not bring anything new to the franchise at all. This movie should have gone straight to DVD and Netflix. I cannot believe that the production company wasted money to release a movie like this. I give Paranormal Activity 4 two stars. I hope they do not make another one for next Halloween.
As a horror fan, I was disappointed and screamed only once.
Happy Reading!!
