The start of a noticeable downward trend in the series, "Paranormal Activity 4" just lacks in all departments in comparison to the slick and solid first three outings. While the characters are likable, they are underdeveloped. While the scares come fast and furious, they lack impact. And while the mythology is once again expanded, the new revelations feel contrived and even sloppy. And it only manages to muster up an underwhelming 2 out of 5 for me.
Question: This is more of an observation than it is a question; however feel free to chime in with an answer. I realize that this is a "hidden footage" movie and each scene has to depict that. But Alex's actions at the end of the film seem to go against human logic. She finds her boyfriend dead in her closet, she knows her dad is across the street and that something is terribly wrong. Why would she take the time to find the video recorder, turn it on and take it with her to find her dad. Someone who just found a dead body in her closet would simply run out of the house or call the police; WITHOUT taking the time to worry about the camera.

Answer: Maybe seeing the dead body in the closet prompted her to grab her camera in case she needed evidence to show the police who had killed her boyfriend and possibly her father. There is enough time between shots that it is possible she calls the police from her cell while grabbing the camera.
