![]() ![]() But in several cases, Alex seems to just be walking around the house with a little handheld. I’ll buy the “security camera” angle with Ben having rigged all the family computers to record nonstop through their webcams. I’m not convinced every instance of footage in this movie is valid. ![]() It has a few tense moments (nothing to even compare with those in the previous installment) and a few chilling lines of dialogue (Robbie tells Ben, “He does not like you,” and when Ben asks who doesn’t like him, Robbie replies, “You’ll find out.” It’s just another movie in the PA series for me. I’ve seen it a few times now and I never find myself dreading the prospect of watching it again, but it’s also not one of those movies I find myself jonesing for from time to time. So, Paranormal Activity 4, the first real sequel in the series, is a thing. And it also tells the adopted boy that his real family needs him back. Oh, and late one night Wyatt goes downstairs and has an argument with an invisible entity about whether or not his real name is Wyatt (as he insists) or Hunter (as it insists).

Holly, Alex’s mother, turns away for only a moment and when she turns back, the knife she’d been using has vanished. Alex finds a trail of toys laid out in the hall leading to Wyatt’s room. There are mysterious thumps late at night. Strange enough, for sure, but with Robbie comes a change in Alex’s six-year-old adopted brother Wyatt’s behavior, plus a slew of unexplainable occurrences about the house. It seems Robbie’s mother is in the hospital and, with no relatives and no one else to turn to, Alex’s parents have somehow been tasked with the boy’s well-being. Rating: Not the Best of the Series, but So Far I’m Still On Boardįive years after the events of Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 (and eighteen years after Paranormal Activity 3), 15-year-old Alex Nelson finds her home life slightly askew when a new neighbor kid, Robbie–who’s only moved in across the street within the past few days–is suddenly their new houseguest. ![]()
