Trivia

As with the previous three Paranormal Activity movies, Paramount Studios utilizes paranormal investigator/researcher, Christopher Chacon, (who is recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on paranormal phenomena), to internationally promote and publicize this fourth installment. Chacon also works in the entertainment industry as a writer, director and producer. See more »

Goofs

When Alex shows Ben the footage from night #1, the Calendar icon in the OSX dock clearly shows a one-digit number (possibly 6, since that's the date it's supposed to be). However, when the shot changes to a closeup, the icon now says it's the 17th. See more »

Quotes

Robbie: He does not like you.
Ben: What? Who? Who does not like me?

Rubbish
21 October 2012 | by (Rotherham) – See all my reviews

What complete and utter garbage!! I want my money back!! so slow and it didn't really get going at all....makes you jump a couple of times and that's mainly due to the loud bangs...and the ending,what was that about??? really hope they don't make another one !! if they do I certainly will not be going as much as I love the cinema,it says I have to write ten lines to be able to post my view...can I really moan about it for that long?? yeah I guess so,and would I be able to put a spoiler,well no you can't spoil what is already rubbish ....really disappointed with this but then again they kind of did go down hill the more they made,if they do make another one it will be the same again I suppose cause what else is there do with it,the same happens over and over..OK well rant over,if you do go and see this be prepared,you may nod off.
