![]() This is brought on by the boyfriend cheekily filming Alex at night (“it was an accident!”) and catching a glimpse of Robbie up to some pretty weird stuff. He does, and after his Mother is taken ill, Alex’s parent’s look after Robbie for a few days and the creepy goings on intensify, sort of.Īlex is aware something is up, and her and her sort of boyfriend (Shively) set up cameras all around the house to record the spooky goings on. He likes to stare and gaze, and he naturally looks evil, so you can only presume he has bad intentions and that he will bring the ‘activity’. The boy is called Robbie (Allen), and the creepy little bastard is the highlight of the film. Anyway, in the background of her video appears a young boy, and later on it turns out that he is a new addition to the neighbourhood and has arrived with his Mother. What we get is a new family, and we first meet fifteen year old Alex (Newton) as she films her little brother playing football: she loves her camera see, and will film pretty much everything (something which comes in rather handy considering this is a found footage flick!). ![]() We are given a brief recap of how PA2 ended which gives the game away for this sequel almost instantly, and then we spend about an hour just waiting for the story to reveal what we already know, but I will not spoil it for you here. See, what I would have really liked the franchise to have done was to go back even further, and answer the questions about Katie and her sisters Grandparents who were revealed at the end of Paranormal Activity 3, but instead here we jump forward five years after the events of Paranormal Activity 2 and we land in a new neighbourhood not yet affected by the ‘activity’. I wouldn’t say I feel totally cheated by this fourth film however as a Paranormal Activity fan I do happen to feel ever so slightly annoyed. Instead what do we get? More questions, a daft ending and a painfully obvious copout so that the inevitable Paranormal Activity 5 can grace our screens next Halloween. So the tagline reads “all the activity has led to this” as if Paranormal Activity 4 is intended as some sort of payoff, a final revelation that will wrap up the story nicely.
