cricketbat Watch Paranormal Activity 3 if you want to fall asleep, not if you want to be frightened. This movie forces its storyline into the exact same framework as the previous two movies and it just seems ridiculous. Additionally, this slow, tedious movie constantly tries to prove that it takes place in the 80s - probably because it doesn't look or feel anything like the 80s. Plus, the few jump-out scares are not worth the wait. This franchise is on its deathbed and it needs to pass on.

jaxenross I can't believe I've seen this more than once, it's just too good just like all the other movies. It would have been so much better if the filmmakers had made this longer; incorporating some of the footage you only see in the trailers and make the movie two hours of fright! The house fire should've been in here as part of keeping in continuity with the original Paranormal Activity, and the movie would've made more sense and would've been more scarier! But for now, this is a go.

sageonelove I LOVED the authentic 80's feel and look of the movie, I loved the suspense, the creepy waiting, the peril to the dear children, I loved the camera work, the sound track, the scariness was off the charts at some moments for me. In my opinion this is true old fashioned scary movie making. Probably my favorite scary movie of all time.

BA_Harrison If you've already seen and enjoyed the first two Paranormal Activity movies, I see no reason why you shouldn't like this one: it's the same thing all over again—Poltergeist a la found footage. Me? I was left rather unimpressed.Christopher Nicholas Smith plays wedding videographer Dennis, who lives with his girlfriend Julie (Lauren Bittner) and her two young daughters Katie (Chloe Csengery) and Kristi (Jessica Tyler Brown). After convincing Julie to participate in a spot of home-made porn (which is interrupted by an earthquake—talk about bad luck!), Dennis notices something peculiar on the tape which leads him to believe that their home is the focus of supernatural occurrences. Setting up cameras around the house, he attempts to capture more spooky goings-on…What follows is lots of tedious video footage in which the viewer waits patiently for something out of the ordinary to happen. Admittedly, there are two very effective jump scares along the way, but neither of them revolve around the supernatural, which makes them feel very cheap. The bona fide spooky shenanigans are predictable and not in the least bit scary. The best thing about the whole film is the mounting of a camera on an oscillating fan, which means that the viewer is forever expecting something nasty to come into view as the camera moves from side to side. Apart from one of the aforementioned cheap scares, it doesn't deliver, but it was a nice idea.
