The story is told through the camera of the boyfriend of the haunted girl. Throughout the movie Micah (the boyfriend) continually makes himself as unlikable as possible as a vehicle to 'antagonize' the evil ghost-demon thing. The story itself is relatively simple and quite self contained, which is nice, but to my chagrin never really answers questions like why did all of this take two weeks? Why not sleep with the door closed already? Who the hell just has a glass Ouija board lying around?
The movie itself relies on cheap scares that I suppose are genuinely creepy at times, but if while watching the movie you think of a solution to the problem every time the sun rises, you'll understand my frustration.
Overall this movie is not the worst I've ever seen, but I couldn't recommend it unless you are the cheap scare type.

My review of the movie:
Paranormal Activity is the kind of movie that once it's over, you get up and say "That sucked" But here's the kicker, they got you. They got you good and your were angry that they did. Everytime it went to a night scene you grew a little tenser than before. Now the movie does take quite awhile to build up the ultimate tension but you are sitting there waiting for it. You know it's coming but not sure in what form everytime.
My real question to the $70,000 budget movie is, if the whole thing was filmed, why on earth would you not freak out about the ouji board catching fire?! Pretty sure I'd be tripping and worried the my house was going to burn down. Also, what kind of man doesn't tell his woman to get on the other side of the bed so he can sleep by the door in order to protect her? Just saying
