Story Synopsis:
Paranormal Activity follows a young, middle-class couple who become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly most active in the middle of the night—especially while they sleep. (Gary Reber)
Picture:
The 1080p AVC picture quality is entirely a hand-held consumer camcorder, with poor picture quality. If you were enthralled with The Blair Witch Project, then this is for you. Otherwise, the quality is worthless! (Gary Reber)
Sound:
The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is essentially monaural, with thumping deep bass occurrences during sleep hours in all channels, especially extended in the .1 LFE channel. This is an undistinguished soundtrack of poor quality. (Gary Reber)
