A truly amateurish production
2 June 2016
This truly pitiful experience in amateur film-making has the on-screen title of SEX TAPE HORROR, although the cover repackages it as PARANORMAL SEX TAPE, no doubt to cash in on the continuing popularity of the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY franchise. It's a British production that clocks in a little over an hour, and consists of a woman finding herself haunted by a sex demon.

For any cult or exploitation film fan, that premise sounds electrifying, but in reality this is a home movie and seems to have been shot in a couple of spare afternoons. There's no script and very little dialogue and 95% of the running time consists of the camera following the main actress as she wanders aimlessly around the streets looking for a plot line.

Yes, there are a couple of sex scenes here with ample nudity, but are they reason to tune in? Not for this viewer. The supernatural stuff is limited to beast noises on the soundtrack and some joke toy shop novelty claws. Occasionally the narrative breaks down completely and there are just five minute sequences of psychedelic imagery playing out. I also noticed a lot of scenes are repeated in a rare case of a film borrowing footage from itself. PARANORMAL SEX TAPE truly is a horrible sit-through and not worth anybody's time.
