kosmasp I know this is wrong, but I kinda liked a few things in this movie. It might have to with the fact, that you sort of expect it to be completely bad and when it isn't you are positively surprised. As was the case here. Just the fact that you have a lot of cameos is sort of fun, if you play the name game (and also wonder why and how they ended up in this! I'm guessing Mr. Farley had something to do with that).If you don't know who's in it (haven't read the cast list like me), it might be fun for you too. I'll only name Tom Sizemore (Heat, Relict) who has one of the weirdest roles in this one. I don't think every joke worked (I don't get the fascination with 10 fart jokes in a movie for example), but overall breaking the fourth wall (having crew members entering the shots) and going completely crazy on almost everything was the best way the movie could go ... so if you like crazy stretched to its limits, you might find some bright spots yourself

Steve Pulaski It's almost disgusting how easy it is to parody Paranormal Activity. Take a low-quality video camera (it can be HD, don't worry), set it up in asinine stations in your house, shake it a bit, tint the video in a blue/black hue during the night, and add loud, abrupt noises very quickly.Don't forget to throw in stale humor, redundant "scares," parodies that fall flat on their face, toilet humor, a pudgy lead character who's almost too stupid to function, and don't forget the writing-style that thinks it's the most clever thing out there right now and you have Kevin P. Farley's Paranormal Movie, yet another merciless film parodying an equally merciless franchise. 2013 has been the year of the parody film, with Paranormal Activity being the butt of each film's joke. First we had the completely forgettable, even by typical parody film standards, A Haunted House, followed by Scary Movie V before being met with an assortment of asinine direct-to-DVD parody endeavors such as 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Paranormal Whacktivity (it's so much more mature than its subject already), and now Kevin P. Farley's second directorial effort.The story follows Larry (Kevin P. Farley who, yes, is the brother of the late Chris Farley) and his wife Katie (Carly Craig), who are being haunted in their house by paranormal occurrences. But when I say "haunted," think things like clowns coming in and dry-humping Katie, a foul-mouthed red-devil who runs around the couples' home, and an array of other things just as nonsensical. Larry and his wife enlist in the help of a flamboyant, internationally-renowned doctor (Eric Roberts) and a reality TV paranormal investigator (John Farley, another man in the Farley family tree) to try and combat the paranormal forces inside their home and take control of their house once more.One feature of the parody genre I never quite understood goes as followed: if the filmmakers want to seem hip, witty, and clever, shouldn't they make something instead of a parody film? If you want to be seen as smarter or more clever than something that is very popular, the logical thing to do would be make something smarter and more clever - not parody the thing that is more successful. That is the equivalent of playground finger-pointing and childishly impersonating another person.So Farley goes on, with the same tiresome schtick of being clueless, annoyingly goofy, and ridiculously over the top, only making the paranormal scenes even more intolerable. Writer Lisa Baget lumbers her screenplay from one idiotic setup to the next, hoping to squeeze out something from the audience, be it laughs or patience. During the entire eighty-seven minute excursion (including the credit-cookie, which is, again, a parody of something that has been done to death so many times it isn't even remotely funny anymore), I smiled once. The scene comes late in the game, after Larry has hired an attractive paranormal investigator to the house along with an investigator from reality TV. Both Larry and the TV star pretend to be possessed in front of the attractive investigator, hoping to get lucky. Even if the scene doesn't spark laughter, the fact that it has the ability to make one smile means it really is an abrupt change of pace for the film.Other than that, Baget's screenplay is total formula, which is even worse in the case that this is a parody film. Parody films often include the element of unpredictability, so even if they are wretched, you really don't know what direction the film will take. In this case, however, I felt one step ahead of the lunacy in Paranormal Movie. Its riffs on the franchise felt expected, its smug attitude something to be endured, its listless agenda and inclusion of a barrage of toilet humor insufferable, and its actors all subjected to bottom-barrel material with no redeeming qualities aside from the refreshing feeling that the film doesn't care that it's awful.Starring: Kevin P. Farley, Carly Craig, Eric Roberts, and John Farley. Directed by: Kevin P. Farley.

sue nami A sh*t sandwich on stale bread. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but still it managed to disappoint me. It was almost as tedious as the movies it was parodying. Towards the end, I had to resist the temptation to fast forward. The writing was unoriginal and more silly than funny. Some scenes seem to have been cut in at random, with no relation to the rest of the script. The B-list cameos served only to briefly distract from the bad script. The only thing paranormal about the movie was the notion that a guy like Farley could get a girlfriend as hot as Carly Craig. Speaking of Craig, I'm a big fan, but her performance was so monotone that it barely qualified as acting. She should have sharted all over this movie. It would have helped.

Colin Issa I mean it's illegal to design & construct a building without handicap access. This film has the common issue of frequent fluctuations in sound FROM EXTREMELY QUIET DIALOGUE (which expedites with humorous adult oriented one liners to keep the audience entertained) TO LOUD MOANING & MARIACHI MUSIC. I wouldn't mind the broad fluctuations in audio if i could follow along reading subtitles while keeping the sound at a constant level. Obviously my real problem is that i don't have a remote control for my surround system because I'm a BUM, but that's a different issue I believe. The 2nd half of the film has a fairly constant level to be fair. Subtitles Please.The Movie itself. Seems pretty funny with surprising celebrity cameos from the likes of Jake Busey & Kevin Sorbo, etc. Kevin Farley is not his brother Chris and it's not fair to try and compare this film to what the project could've been had it been helmed by Chris Farley (though honestly i have imagined). I LOVE SPOOF films so I plan on purchasing this film but not at the current $20 equilibrium price. I rented it from the local video store for a few dollars ready for a comedy Thankfully not as serious as "A HAUNTED HOUSE" but certainly better than the obscure and mediocre "SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY"(I was impressed by the well scripted writing of the relatively unknown Lisa Baget). I've been a fan of the Farley Brothers (of course other than Chris) since I saw them in "THE BREAKS" well over a decade ago. I'm glad to see KEVIN FARLEY IS WORKING and DOING WELL! This picture is a worthy entry into the COVETED "... MOVIE" parody franchise haha, which is probably an insult to most claimed self respecting directors. I was surprised not to see this DVD available at my local Walmart. Hopefully this Film receives a broad distribution! 4 stars cause of William Katt's crazyness nostalgiac of that uncle most know whether through blood or marriage. TOM SIZEMORE... words can't describe.
