I hate it when I get duped into watching the latest generation of cutting edge horror. This and insidious are two of the lamest excuses for horror... ve ever had the misfortune of watching. I only wish this rating system had allowed for zero. Full Review

With its this-is-really-happening vibe, Paranormal Activity scrapes away 30 years of encrusted nightmare clichs. The fear is real, all right, because the fear is really in you.Full Review

An ingenious little horror film, so well made it's truly scary.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The film loses some of its grimy verisimilitude toward the end, but it’s nevertheless a surprisingly effective low-budget shocker with a sensibility as current as the latest viral videos, yet rooted in the suggestive, less-is-more atmospherics of Val Lewton.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Peli works at mining the unknown, the unknowable, like a minimalist, using small moments and virtually no special effects exceedingly well.Full Review

Paranormal succeeds in staying unnervingly "real."Full Review
