Atividade Supernatural

Well I saw this in HMV for £10 so I thought about it and opted against buying it, not heard of it before.

I then was looking through my On demand pay per view and saw it again and thought why not, why did I bother... Honestly, worst £3.95 I've ever spent and we didn't even watch it all, within the first 4 minutes we knew it was going to be a bad one, it was just not funny at all....we did do a few forced laughs but that wasn't at the movie.

Its not recommended in the slightest, I'm even thinking of sending a mail to the production company asking for a refund! YES it was that bad...

Oh well.. Anyway if you do choose to watch it.... be prepared....

Spoofs, what the hell is wrong with it. Most of them just doesn't work. I have seen so many spoofs, most of them are a compilation of real horror flicks. And by doing so the script sucks.

Here the script do works, you really can follow the story without jumps towards a spoof on another flick. This is easy to follow but being a spoof the story doesn't make a flick. You really need a good joke here and there and that's were most US spoofs fail.

There wasn't any scene were I even had a wrinkle on my face from laughter. It just wasn't funny, the jokes were really childish and nothing worked out. Spoofs and comedies coming from the UK mostly do work but those coming from US do fail. And let me be clear, I'm not from the UK or US.

If you have early teens then they will laugh it out loud but for the horror geeks that can take a joke on the genre this doesn't work. Next time I will think twice before I pick up another spoof.

Found footage films also interest me, but regardless of the state of the budget I was at least expecting to see something that I could deem as worthwhile. Supernatural Activity is a film so bad that you have to look very long and hard to actually find anything to redeem it. The idea was sort of interesting so I'll give the movie that, but that is it. Even though I wasn't expecting for Supernatural Activity to look like high art, I was not expecting it to look as ghastly as it did. Choppy editing, un-atmospheric and obvious lighting, a setting that has been seen a thousand times before and better and shoddy effects are the anti-thesis of good movie making. The story is largely incoherent, first it is spoofing Paranormal Activity and then without warning it changes to spoofing The Excorcism of Emily Rose. Aside from it being dull and having no surprises or genuine shocks- any scares are done in such a predictable way- at all, the sudden change from one spoofing of one movie to another, the lack of explanation for the film crew following Dealer's Crew and the incorporation of the end lines from Blade Runner all suggest that Supernatural Activity and the writers were running out of ideas. Don't expect a good semblance of a script either, it is full to the brim with rubbish jokes that are not funny at all and the rest is just aimless filler. Also go and look for another movie if you are looking for characters to care for, Supernatural Activity brings almost every character stereotype it could find and makes the characters obnoxious with no adherence to any kind of characterisation. The acting is just terrible, with Andrew Pozza embarrassingly mugging his way through his role. All in all, truly abominable, film-making of the worst possible kind. 0/10 Bethany Cox

Absolutely diabolical. SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY is a dead-headed spoof of the 'found footage' horror film, complete with all the obvious nods to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and THE LAST EXORCISM that you can imagine. It's worse than even the SCARY MOVIE series, and those films are pretty awful to begin with.

The only reason I watched this is that I like 'found footage' films, so I got most of the references. The only spoofs I like watching are the old Leslie Nielsen ones, as they occasionally possess wit and inspiration among the silliness. SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY doesn't.

It's dumb, offensive and extremely childish, written by and starring an absolutely obnoxious individual (Andrew Pozza) who has zero idea of what constitutes comedy; mugging and shouting at the camera is not the answer. Maybe I had a sense of humour bypass, but I didn't laugh once. Not once. Didn't even crack a smile. Yes, this film really is that worthwhile, cheap and stupid.

The story line is very original as well as the acting. I don't really know how to put it in any other statement that would be passable. Even if this is a spoof it could have been done a lot more better. With more thought, planning and patience perhaps this would have delivered a better punch. I question though how movies such as this one can be released. I am sure that it is not a matter of budget seeing that a lot of movies with extremely low budgets can pull off something that is passable. With some extra patience and really going through all the details of the script would make a huge difference not to mention the impression it will have on the viewers. If some scenes do not feel right then they should be re-shot. In a nutshell this movie just wasn't really viewable.
