A haunted house makes no secret of the fact it's not pleased with its new tenants in this independent tale of supernatural horror. Katie (Katie Featherson) and Micah (Micah Sloat) are a twentysomething couple who've just moved into a new home in San Diego, CA. Katie has an interest in the paranormal and believes that malevolent spirits have been following her since childhood, though Micah is not so easily convinced. However, after several nights of loud noises and strange happenings, Micah starts to agree with Katie that some sort of ghost may have followed them to the new home. After a paranormal researcher tells the couple he can't help them, Micah decides to take control of the situation and sets up a battery of video cameras so that if a spirit manifests itself, he can capture its behavior on tape. Once the surveillance cameras are in place, Katie and Micah bring in a Ouija board in an effort to talk to the spirits, a move that deeply offends the ghosts. Paranormal Activity was the first feature film from writer and director Oren Peli. ~ Mark Deming, RoviMovie Title : Paranormal Activity

Review For Movie Paranormal Activity
The climax is deliciously scary, and Peli gets considerable mileage from the simple matter of lights inexplicably going on in another room.J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
It illustrates one of my favorite points, that silence and waiting can be more entertaining than frantic fast-cutting and berserk f/x. For extended periods here, nothing at all is happening, and believe me, you won't be bored.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
It's this feeling of vulnerability that Peli's slow-burning supernatural chiller so effectively exploits, fashioning heart-stopping scares out of almost nothing.
Nigel Floyd-Time Out
Though it never poses a question more abstract than "Where's that scratching sound coming from?" Paranormal Activity is all about spiritual and ethical debts coming due.
Dana Stevens-Slate
Peli is to be congratulated for pulling off such an audacious project, but he needs a sharper sense of timing: The film's pacing is uneven, which weakens the suspense.
Tirdad Derakhshani-Philadelphia Inquirer
Like legendary producer Val Lewton in the '40s, director Oren Peli, who shot Paranormal in seven days in his own home, understands that what's most frightening is what you don't see but merely suggested.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post
For extended sections, this movie is very scary. My frequent self-preserving glimpses away from the screen, just to catch my breath, can confirm that.
Will Leitch-Deadspin
Fun as a communal experience in a crowded theater. Scary? Not that often.
Roger Moore-Movie Nation
Peli teases the audience expertly. Scenes remain silent and still; not for long, but long enough to make you sweat. The terror of anticipation and its abrupt release, particularly in the final scene, is exhilarating.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
It'll take quite some time to recover before you can sleep soundly without wondering if you're really alone in the room.
Perri Nemiroff-CinemaBlend.com
A suburban couple mess with dark spirits in the effective low budget chiller.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
Oren Peli in his feature debut has a few jolts in store, and the natural performances of the cast and the aura of reality provided by the video format keep the tension high.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
Paranormal Activity isn't an actor's film per se, but it wouldn't be as eerily effective without Featherston and Sloat's believable, lived in performances.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
It's a good try.
Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central
I'd rank being stuck in a big quiet house at night as one of life's most easily unnerving experiences, and this movie capitalizes on it.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
... a fairly satisfying piece of filmmaking and an overhyped piece of cult marketing.
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
Authentically unnerving, exploiting basic fears with flashes of real brilliance and creating something that lingers long in the memory -- and definitely will come back to haunt you in the dark of night.
-Rip It Up
It's not the scariest movie I have ever seen, but it's probably the most efficient and insidious. The noises in my house never seemed so loud or inexplicable as they do after seeing this. It's a great scary treat and the filmmakers should be rewarded wi
Karina Montgomery-Cinerina
Paranormal Activity boasts some scary moments, sure, but the movie cannot live up to its own hype . . .

Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
Extremely unthrilling, very obvious, very clichéd. We've seen it all before.
David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
When the object of the hype turns out to be as lame as this film, the whole exercise becomes just another Hollywood con job.
Sandra Hall-Sydney Morning Herald
Paranormal Activity is a remarkable achievement, but ultimately it's just not scary enough to be considered a horror classic.
Cosmo Landesman-Sunday Times (UK)
It never really convinces on the demonic level. Yet it does partly succeed as a relationship movie.
Jason Solomons-Observer [UK]

Movie Overview For Paranormal Activity
After a young, middle class couple moves into a suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night.
