This spoof of "Paranormal Activity" is actually not bad, but it's about 70 minutes longer than necessary. The acting of the two leads is quite good and the film maintains its tone throughout...with one exception. The scenes with the two paranormal investigators are unnecessary and way overdone. These characters are not funny and don't contribute anything at all to the film or its story-line.
I watched it on NF Instant View in an "unrated" version. The only reason I can imagine that it is unrated is that they simply didn't bother to submit it for rating. It would otherwise be a PG.
On the other hand, the punchline is pretty good. Just FF through the scenes with the investigators and it is worth watching for a laugh.

Plot summary
In this hilarious in-your-face mockumentary spoof on the handheld movie genre, nothing is what you would expect, or is it? No matter how stupid or boring the footage becomes, Roger and Stacey videotape everything in hopes of seeing the spirits in action. Will they end up with a hit documentary, or will they find what ends up on tape is far worse than demonic activity?

A one-punchline movie that should have been a two-reeler.
What did I just watch? (may contain spoilers)
I was expecting something a little more fun like the other parodies of Paranormal Activity that I have seen. Instead, I am treated to a film (if you want to call it that) that is very poor. The intro at the beginning of the film should have deterred me as soon as I read that "Experts initially had trouble telling if the footage was real because of how juvenile and unrealistic it all seemed..." That should be my review right there. It goes on to say that "The camera work is really ****** too." Which is really accurate. The story line is quite dull and poorly put together. The male seemed like he was a control freak and didn't like to listen to his wife. I wanted to stop watching, but I was giving it a chance to get better. It never did; it got worse. This was easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I keep wondering how nobody on production thought this was a bad idea to produce.
