Abnormal Activity is abnormally boring.

I never liked the Blair Witch Project, so I'm not surprised I didn't like Abnormal Activity. Not once was I entertained. The actors did a good job of appearing as a normal couple, therein lies part of the problem. They were just too plain. I don't like following around a camera as it shoots nothing, goes into dark rooms and the operator doesn't turn on the lights. If something jumped out, it would be different, but just scanning empty rooms is very boring. I would suggest not viewing this movie unless you have nothing better to do. When I watched it, I didn't have anything better to do, but I kept pausing it to find something to do.

A one-punchline movie that should have been a two-reeler.

This spoof of "Paranormal Activity" is actually not bad, but it's about 70 minutes longer than necessary. The acting of the two leads is quite good and the film maintains its tone throughout...with one exception. The scenes with the two paranormal investigators are unnecessary and way overdone. These characters are not funny and don't contribute anything at all to the film or its story-line.I watched it on NF Instant View in an "unrated" version. The only reason I can imagine that it is unrated is that they simply didn't bother to submit it for rating. It would otherwise be a PG.On the other hand, the punchline is pretty good. Just FF through the scenes with the investigators and it is worth watching for a laugh.
