The following reasons why Paranormal Activity was NOT scary:
(No Major Spoilers, I Promise. Considering the trailer gave away all the scary parts anyway, if you've seen it, you've pretty much seen the movie.)
1) "The Blair Witch Project" did that style of horror movie first, and better.
2) Swinging doors and moving blankets? Who is this scaring exactly?
3) Why do movies involving demons scare people more than movies involving ghosts? My dead great-grandmother living in my house would scare me more than any demon.
4) The characters were like real people--and by real people, I mean, annoying reality tv show actors who I can handle for about two episodes before I actually WANT to see bad things happen to them.
5) So much of it was implausible, even by scary movie standards. Entire threads of the story were just left dangling. And the Steven Spielberg suggested ending wasn't so much of an ending as it was a way to end the movie quickly without having to actually end it.
My suggestion? Rent...pretty much any other scary movie.
