Paranormal Activity (2007)
Directed by Oren Peli
4.0/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"86 minQuick Hit
Paranormal Activity rips like a lo-fi found-footage freakoutāminimal, patient, with zero interest in comforting you.
Full Take
Paranormal Activity leans hard into found footage energy, and Oren Peli keeps the tone minimal without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

Iām in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didnāt fully connect.
