SummaryAfter a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical 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. [Paramount Pictures]

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

An Amityville for the YouTube age: potent, primal and genuinely frightening.

Una de las mejores sagas de películas de terror que he visto. Una de las cosas que mas acojona es que esta basada en hechos reales. hay tres finales alternativos, original (registro de policía), película y especial.

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

No-frills chills are what Paranormal Activity offers in unrelenting supply.

Slate
It comes by its screams honestly, earning them with incremental, at times agonizing gradations of old-fashioned, what's-that-noise-in-the-hallway suspense.

Time Out
Often has the feel of a film-school exercise in which the object is to wring maximum suspense from rudimentary tools.

Don't believe the hype: Paranormal Activity may be a lot of things, but the words "scary" and "movie" are not among them. It is instead nothing more or less than an excruciatingly tedious YouTube gag cleverly marketed to go viral in the broadest and most box office-friendly way.

Paranormal Activity es una película que te atrapa con el miedo que produce mientras avanza el film. Sin dudas es una gran película de terror que entretiene y llama la atención, además de curiosa e interesante.

While this movie had it's scary and intense scenes, it overall was a little boring. 6/10.

It's probably one of the interesting horror plot, but in the end you see how poor movie it is.

The word "horror" seems to be tossed around a lot in these times. If you are looking for thrill, suspense, emotion, and gut-busting excitement, just buy a laser toy for your cat instead.
