Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 6/6] | Steve Biodrowski @ Cinefantastique Online
- Excerpt: Additional footage does little to improve a sequel that has run out of ideas.
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: This installment is about as boring as the first film was arresting.
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: [Not] just a weaker movie than all three of its predecessors, it’s a movie that straight up does not work in any way.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: “Paranormal Activity 4” is just more of the same quickly-staling franchise. You can almost set your watch to the beats.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In the end, though, you’ll start to wonder why we had to go through all this just to get right back to where we started. Which is exactly what happens.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The scariest moment in “Paranormal Activity 4” was when I thought I’d lost my car keys. Not to say that aren’t any frightening moments in the fourth installment of the found footage horror franchise. During the last five minutes, directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman seem to finally remember that they’re making a horror movie.

- Excerpt: Stale and derivative…

- Excerpt: It’s the Where’s Waldo of spooky stories. (Where’s the ghost? Find the ghost!) But much less fun.

- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: While it’s nowhere near as innovative, clever or genuinely frightening as Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 4 measures up reasonably well to the standard set by the sequels, ending up much stronger than Paranormal Activity 2, and about on-par with Paranormal Activity 3.
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Among other issues with the genre, the series, and the story particulars in this entry, there’s one fatal flaw PA4 cannot overcome: it just ain’t scary.

- Excerpt: Continues the series’ downward spiral, being by far the weakest of the lot.
