“Paranormal Activity is not just a horror movie retread; it is a razor-sharp, immersive event that blends technical wizardry with genuine human dread.”
“Indeed, there’s a paint-by-numbers feel to much of the writing, not least as it pertains to these Americans’ view of London: the weather (tick), the food (huh?).”
“Paranormal Activity: Live is properly, relentlessly frightening — arm-clutchingly, stranger-embracingly so.”
“By treating horror as an art form rather than a cheap set of jump scares, this thrilling new show, which wears its connection to the world of the Paranormal Activity film franchise lightly, proves how jaw-clenchingly, arm-clutchingly frightening horror on stage can be.”
