Fun fact:Paranormal Activityoriginally aired at the 2007 Screamfest Film Festival but featured a different ending.
Clones popped out of every corner as the found-footage subgenre of horror exploded.
Paranormal Activitystepped forward, combining a found-footage approach with a story about demonic possession.

It sounds interesting, right?
By the end, dont be surprised if the audience cheers for the demon.
Heres Micah inParanormal Activity, though.
Summit Entertainment
Sound advice, really.
So, what does Micah do?
He carries on recording, then brings a Ouija board into the house because YOLO.
Paramount Pictures
Micah wants to record demons gone wild on video.
Matters escalate as they antagonize the demon and Katie experiences bite marks on her body.
How Katie stays with him is anyones guess.

Effectively, this moron challenges a demon to a game of chess when hes barely competent at licking stamps.
How can anyone feel sorry for someone who brings misery upon themselves?
Now, thats pure terror.
Yet, there are Instagram Reels or TikTok videos that harbor more effective and pronounced scares thanParanormal Activity.
The tension never holds, with the jumpscares being more predictable than an episode ofThe Simpsonsin 2024.
WhereParanormal Activitysucceeds is in its marketing.
Its all reputation, little fright in the end.
