"Paranormal Activity 4"

Quite frankly I do not propose to spend a lot of time on this review, as (a) I am a tad behind with reviews, (b) the film is dire and not worth my time.

All you need to know is that the baby abducted at the end of the first film reappears, now living in a new neighbourhood, with his mysterious 'mother', and befriends a family over the road. Strange things start to happen to the family whenever the boy visits, all the usual stuff, and this normally would be a good thing, as the one thing I have found with this series of movies, is that it does chilling very well. Alas there had to be an exception, and this is that very exception.

The advent of the webcam brings a new dimension to this film, but it is prolonged, and the characters mainly involved with the webcam are not that engaging. The film does also seem to stretch credibility in why the use of a video camera is being used so much.

After three really entertaining and chilling movies, the first dud in the series, and given that a fifth film has been green lit, let us hope that it is the last.......4 out of 10
