Moral of the story is mind your business.

First, this is not a Paranormal Activity film, IMO the series should have ended when the original story ended in PA 3. (PA 4 was technically a continuation but that was a forced movie trying to save a failed franchise) My issue is this film is not a PA film, it's just a horror (a bad one at that). My biggest issue with horror movies is once you see the 'big bad' it loses its effect to scare you, up until you see it, sure there are a few albeit forced jump scares, but nothing substantial. Nothing about this movie makes sense. Find a creepy ass hole in the ground? 'Let's go down it! This is our only chance!' Many people hate the franchise but I believe the first 3 are great, an unseen antagonist causing mayhem. Please let the franchise die, at this point, they are just throwing the PA name in front of bad horror movies in an attempt to basically click-bait us into that first fear we felt watching PA 1 for the first time.

This one didn't felt much paranormal-activity-ish. I think is the first one that has shots outside the "camera-in-hand" pov, which kinda broke the effect. Besides, we all know that PA should have ended like, 3 or 4 movies ago; so nothing new. Pretty much nothing on the "ghost" factor (i believe just one scene in the whole movie is kinda lame). Also, it seems like the girl has NEVER seen an horror movie:[spoiler] creepy closed door room? Lets go check it out. Smaller-even-creepier door in there with blood marks and shit? No problemo, i want to look. Big ass rabbit hole in the middle of a weird creepy church in the middle of fucking nowhere that goes down 30mts and has barely the space for a person?? Sure, push me down, i want to know what's on the bottom [/spoiler]. At least, it was a nice change that [spoiler] 2/3 of the main team survived (something that i always despised in the other PA, because you knew that EVERYONE involved would be dead as fuck at the end) [/spoiler]. I would say is just Bad Horror Movie - Next of Kin, rather than PA; no more than a 5.

This one looked like it's going to be one of the better entry in the franchise and after watching the documentary I raised my expectation a little. Guess I was wrong. To me this entry is slightly above _The Ghost Dimension_ and that one is the WORST of the bunch. That's pretty bad. I expected more creativity put into this rebirth but there's really nothing new or exciting here. It's just another found footage film that relies heavily on jumpscares and gives you motion sickness at the very last moment. There's not enough mystery to it and none of the characters are particularly interesting. Judging by the slow motion shots, I don't even think this film try to fully commit to the found footage format at all. The only thing even remotely interesting was the claustrophobia in some parts. Overall it's disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Not a waste of your time but not a movie to watch again either, it's a Tuesday evening movie if there is such category ;).
