Supernatural Activity Review



Disclaimer: Contains spoilers!

Plot Summary: A cheap, wannabe parody of recent horror films from the last five years or so.

Review: First, don't confuse this with "Paranormal Activity." Then, if you thought the "Scary Movie" franchise was dumb, this is even worse. There is virtually nothing funny here, and it is annoying because you can tell the writers thought this was comedic genius. You can easily tell the budget for this shit was paper thin, so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it was still too stupid. Even though the focus was on recent horror films, there were so many odd refences to things like "Blade Runner" for example. I mean, seriously, what casual viewer of recent horror movies will understand a random "Blade Runner" reference? Only dorks like me will pick up on that shit, and there are plenty like that. When the majority of the audience won't understand half the references, why are you bothering to include them?! Most of the time, even I was trying to figure out what the hell they were even making fun of; there was some ongoing gag with a wife beating her stupid husband...I really couldn't figure that one out. If anybody can catch or make sense of all the alleged parodies, be sure to write them up for me! Movies like this, I often wonder why they even exist, because a bad movie can be amazing if made unintentionally, but a bad movie trying to be that way on purpose just never works out. The gags fall flat, the comedy is nonexistent, everything has been done before and better, the acting sucks, the plot is retarded, and it is so boring. Don't even waste your time with this one. If by some cruel twist of fate you paid for this shit, demand somebody, somewhere, refund your money!

Notable Moment: There was only one kind of funny/clever moment when some religious dude says he wanted praying as an olympic event and the medals would be gold, frankincense, and myrrh. I'll admit, that brought a smirk to my face.

Final Rating: 3/10
