Was this a ripoff?
Of Paranormal Activity?
shareIt's an Asylum film. That should be enough of an answer right there. However, it's actually a pretty decent Asylum film, though that me be because I just like these kinds of movies and all it takes is a little bit of restraint to make a good one.
shareI liked it too. More than I did Paranormal even.
it hurts
In a way it is. But its not trying to 'be' Paranormal Activity, its more like a 'semi-authorized spinoff'.
I quite liked this film, it was much better than I had thought. It scared me silly in many scenes, and while I disliked the ending (I didn't care for PA's ending either actually) I would recommend this movie.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
But the rating...

You mean, why is the rating low?
Probably because many people didn't appreciate the film, they just saw it as a ripoff of "PA" which it wasn't actually.
The storyline is not the same, nor is the ending. This film does have a couple glaring plot holes, but I still enjoyed it. There is more 'action' than in "PA" as well.
