Paranormal Activity 3

Continuing our review of the Paranormal Activity series, we will be doing the third one today. (Spoilers!)

So, in this one, we go even further back. This takes place all before the events of both Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2. Set in 1988, sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity. Right, so Katie and Kristi are the two girls from the first two films. In the first one, Katie is facing the problems, and in the second one, Kristi is facing the problems. Now, due to the information retrieved from Paranormal Activity 3, we know that the entity that haunted Katie and Kristi as young children is the same one from the first two films.

Their father, actually, I think that he is their stepfather...whatever. Dennis was his name. Of course, his life's work has something to do with cameras. He's a wedding videographer and decides to use is cameras to figure out why all the weird things are happening at night'. Now, it wouldn't be a Paranormal Activity movie without a bunch of repetitive shots of all the security cameras. The majority of the movie is just repetitive shots of the whole house - occasionally catching something falling over or some weird movement or something like that.

Alright. I have to admit that when the sheet came out behind the babysitter (also, so cliché, a babysitter coming to watch the kids while some weird stuff is happening) and we all think that it's the kid, but then it just drops and we are all like "oh sh*t!" was pretty good. Again, one of the few good things about the movies.

They really put the "found footage" thing to work. In an actual horror flick, we would get something scary a lot. In movies like Paranormal Activity, we get a couple of jumpscares and a few things falling over or objects being in places that they shouldn't be. Then, at the end, we get like five minutes of scary. That's it.

Well, I wish I could write more about Paranormal Activity 3, but I have to be somewhere, soooo I'll post tomorrow about the Paranormal Activity 4.

We are almost done with the Paranormal Activity Series! We just have the fourth one that I'll do tomorrow and on Thursday, I will do Marked Ones.

I will do a TV show on Friday. Not sure what yet, but I'll figure it out.
