Paranormal Whacktivity

If you are like me, or most people, your time is valuable, even leisure time. You only have so much leisure time and it can't be wasted watching pointless drivel.

You might ask: "What do you think parodies are all about? You're not watching a potential Oscar nominee." Yes, I know that. I've watched plenty of enjoyable parodies (although far more un-enjoyable ones) and this happens to be one of the worst. Even watching bad parodies I can stomach 10 to 15 minutes of it. I think I got through two minutes of this waste of celluloid.

Very unfunny, very vulgar... and it's not unfunny because it was vulgar. It was vulgar in an attempt to be funny but it was a miserable failure.

For a spoof on the "Paranormal Activity" movie and that type of genre in general, then "Paranormal Whacktivity" was fairly boring and uneventful. And actually for a comedy, then "Paranormal Whacktivity" was frightfully devoid of laughs and funny moments.

The story is about a young couple that have moved into a new house, but there is something in the house with them. The woman is never in the mood to be intimate with the guy, who is in turn always in the mood. They seek out the help of a psychic to find out more about the demonic entity that is haunting the house.

I will say that the movie did have potential, in regards to the story, especially because it is usually always nice with a spoof movie. However, nothing just clicked in this movie, and the jokes were lame and lacking humor. I can honestly say that I didn't laugh a single time throughout the entire movie. Yet, still I watched the movie to the end, because it might just pull out something surprising.

But it didn't.

Production-wise, then "Paranormal Whacktivity" was actually quite good, and the acting was adequate - not great - but adequate. And also effects-wise, then the movie was alright. Not superb or spectacular in any way, though, mind you.

However, it was just really difficult to find anything overly enjoyable about this movie. And truth be told, then there are some much better "Paranormal Activity" spoofs available.

This is so bad, I can't explain just how God-awful it is. If I could have rated it lower than 1 star, I would have. Let's just say I give it -100 stars. It's just awful.

I have never reviewed a movie on IMDb before. This inspired me to do so. To be fair, I could not make it past the 20 minute mark, and a review should be by someone who has watched the movie in its entirety, however, I believe if a movie is SO BAD you can't even sit through it, that itself says something.

Kudos to the people who suffered through it, giving it a chance, but my husband and I couldn't find the remote fast enough! We enjoy stupid humor, but there's a difference between intentionally stupid and just plain dumb. B movies can be great if they're done the right way, this wasn't even B movie quality. Z maybe. The attempts at humor (that I saw) could have been written by a 10 year old who finds farts hysterical. Not just funny, fall-on- the-floor annoying funny. The story could have been good if it was written better, and maybe it got better later, but I didn't stick around to find out.

A few people who actually wasted their lives on this trash gave much more in depth reviews. They can explain better why you shouldn't subject yourself to such drivel. Heed their warnings!

It's finally there, a spoof on the paranormal activity franchise. Spoofs as far as I know never worked out fine, well, maybe Scary Movie part 1 (2000) did. This time as the title says that will attract men. And that's what it's all about, making love with a girl and making a home video.

But slowly the house is making noises, and they do find sexy things. From there on, it's all about misunderstandings and talking about sex. Well, there were scene's that made me laugh but others were typical spoof jokes from the worst kind. You know, teenagers will have a big laugh with the stupidity.

Of course you will be rewarded to sit through this around the 40 minute, gratuitous nudity. But after that this flick falls into boredom. By now you have seen it all and the jokes do return and it even got uglier. The fart jokes are coming to you. The avatar part wasn't funny at all. The attic part was rather good. But overall, a waist of time.
