Just in time for Halloween, the “Paranormal Activity” franchise has churned out another lackluster installment that will undoubtedly sell more tickets than it deserves. This time, the story follows a teenage girl as she is terrorized by the creepy kid from across the street. As usual, the movie is shot entirely from the perspective of camcorders and webcams, and the found footage shtick has been played all the way out by now. There’s nothing fresh about “Paranormal Activity 4.” It will at least manage to startle some screams out of audiences, but it’s not worth the price of admission. Save some money for a Halloween costume and rewatch the first three.
