That's a great point about the final scene. It's basically the culmination of absolutely everything terrifying that had come before it.
As for where to see it: that's why I suggested it was worth a trip to the theater in my review. There are so few movies that are worth the nearly $14 it costs to see a film in my city these days. Things that make it worth it are really great special effects that require a big screen to view them or really intricately made films that can only be appreciated in the last venue on Earth where you are encouraged to do nothing else but immerse yourself in the film. And Paranormal Activity really benefits from that immersion/isolation. I think you can probably, if you have a good group of horror-loving friends, achieve that at your home, too, but it's just much harder to coordinate. Then again, if you're in the house where noises might sound out of nowhere or a cat might hop into a lap unexpected, that could be more scary!
